Compliant Work Zone Traffic Control Devices A. Introduction

TxDOT A-1

A. INTRODUCTION

This list contains products that have been evaluated and determined to be acceptable traffic control devices for use in work zones. At a minimum, newly-manufactured devices on this list must be considered to be compliant with the Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware (MASH). Devices compliant with National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 350 are also acceptable if manufactured prior to December 31 2019, and may continued to be used throughout their useful service life.

This list is intended to supplement and clarify the Traffic Control Standard Sheets (TCSS) by providing the most up-to-date information available. All devices shall comply with the current Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (TMUTCD).

Dimensions given in this document are nominal and are given merely for descriptive purposes.

Inclusion on this list does not imply that these products are eligible for permanent installation on state right-of-way. This list is not exhaustive; crashworthy products exist that are not included herein. TxDOT will consider products for inclusion if sufficient information is provided to make a decision. For a product to be evaluated for inclusion on this list, all related data such as an evaluation report prepared by an independent testing agency under the supervision of a registered professional engineer, video tape of crash test (if crash tested), compliance letter from the FHWA, etc. must be sent to the TxDOT Traffic Standards Engineer. DO NOT send originals; the documentation submitted shall not be returned. TxDOT reserves the right to review all documentation and may or may not accept the device for inclusion on this list. The fact that FHWA considers a device to be compliant with NCHRP 350 or MASH does not obligate TxDOT to include that device on this list. TxDOT reserves the right to remove products,

consideration.

The devices in each category are generally listed in alphabetical order by vendor. The order is not intended to indicate a particular device preference. TxDOT does not endorse products. This list shall not be used for product promotion.

TxDOT recognizes that some of the items and information it needs to evaluate a device’s compliance with

This list addresses only the crashworthiness of the devices. When maximum sign sizes or maximum number of supports are given, they shall be adhered to. It is the responsibility of the contractor to determine which support is appropriate for a given sign size, location, and soil condition. A device considered crashworthy may not be crashworthy if used or installed incorrectly. It is the contractor’s responsibility to use or install the device in a manner such that it will function as intended.

essential for synchronization with existing highway facilities or that no equally suitable alternative exists; or (c) they must be used for research or for a distinctive type of construction on relatively short sections of road for experimental purposes. The Engineer shall not require the use of a device, of the types included herein, that is not on this list.

Compliant Work Zone Traffic Control Devices A. Introduction

TxDOT A-2

TxDOT encourages the use of recycled products when possible. Plastic products shall be UV/color-stabilized.

All reflective sheeting shall as a minimum meet either one of the following Departmental Material Specifications: DMS-8300, Sign Face Materials or DMS-8310, Flexible Roll-up Reflective Signs. When the sheeting used on a particular device exceeds the requirements of these specifications, all similar devices used in that area shall use equivalent sheeting (e.g., all drums should use an equivalent grade of sheeting).

backfill ‑ soil that was originally in the hole dug for support placement that is used to refill the hole after the support is placed.

barricade - a portable or fixed channelizing device having from one to three rails with appropriate markings (see the Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for more details). Barricades are used to control traffic by closing, restricting, or delineating all or a portion of the roadway. The type refers to the number of rails (i.e., a Type I has one rail, a Type II has two rails, and a Type-III has three rails). See Figure B-1 for a description of barricade components.

Supports listed below may have specific allowable anchoring methods, number of posts allowed in 7-foot vehicle path, and soil requirements. Strict adherence to these requirements is essential for the device to function as intended during a crash. The contractor is responsible for installing devices as they were designed to be used.

v Steel tubing, perforated 1-1/2 inch square, 12 gauge with 7/16-inch holes punched on 1-inch centers. This support may be directly embedded a minimum of 48 inches in both weak and strong soils. As an option, an anchor stub may be use. The anchor stub is the next larger size tubing. Additionally, an 18-inch reinforcing sleeve made from the next larger size tubing may be used. The optional anchor stub, when used, shall be embedded at least 34 inches in strong soils or 55 inches in weak soils with approximately 1 inch protruding above the ground. Both systems may also be set in concrete, soilcrete, or expanding polyurethane foam.
