H-6 MOISTURE SENSITIVE SOILS

Contractors are cautioned that the roadway structure is designed so that the completed road will support highway legal loads during a limited use season. Construction equipment often subjects the uncompleted roadway structure to loadings it is not designed to support. This is especially critical during periods of excessive moisture. Materials on this project are sensitive to excessive moisture and will require careful selection and scheduling of equipment to permit efficient operation. Any damage resulting from operations, which renders the material unsuitable for use or results in potential siltation of streams, will be corrected by the Contractor at Contractor's expense.

On the front, back, adjacent to, or around any traffic control device, including traffic signs, signals, changeable message signs, traffic control device posts or structures, or bridge piers

At key decision points where a driver‘s attention is more appropriately focused on traffic control devices, roadway geometry, or traffic conditions. These locations include, but are not limited to, exit and entrance ramps, intersections controlled by traffic signals or by stop or yield signs, highway-rail grade crossings, and areas of limited sight distance.
