All lanes should be a minimum of 3 in(10 ft) in width as measured to the near face of the channelizing devices. 2.The treatment shown should be used on a minor road having low speeds.For higher-speed traffic conditions,a lane closure should be used. Option: 3.For short-term use on low-volume, Low-speed roadways with vehicular traffic that does not include longer and wider heavy commercial vehicles, a minimum lane width of 2.7 m(9 ft)may be used. 4. Where the opposite shoulder is suitable for carrying vehicular traffic and of adequate width,lanes may be shifted by use of closely spaced channelizing devices,provided that the minimum lane width of 3 m(10 ft)is maintained. 5. Additional advance warning may be appropriate,such as a ROAD NARROWS sign. 6. Temporary traffic barriers may be used along the work space. 7.The shadow vehicle may be omitted if a taper and channelizing devices are used. 8.
