California MUTCD 2014 Edition <br />(FHWA’s MUTCD 2009 Edition, including Revisions 1 & 2, as amended for use in California) <br />Chapter 6H – Typical Applications November 7, 2014 <br />Part 6 – Temporary Traffic Control <br />Page 1198 <br />Notes for Figure 6H-27—Typical Application 27 <br />Closure at the Side of an Intersection <br />Guidance: <br />1. The situation depicted can be simplified by closing one or more of the intersection approaches. If this cannot <br />be done, and/or when capacity is a problem, through vehicular traffic should be directed to other roads or <br />streets. <br />2. Depending on road user conditions, flagger(s) or uniformed law enforcement officer(s) should be used to <br />direct road users within the intersection. <br />Standard: <br />3. At night, flagger stations shall be illuminated, except in emergencies. <br />Option: <br />4. Flashing warning lights and/or flags may be used to call attention to the advance warning signs. <br />5. For short-duration work operations, the channelizing devices may be eliminated if a vehicle displaying high- <br />intensity rotating, flashing, oscillating, or strobe lights is positioned in the work space. <br />6. A BE PREPARED TO STOP sign may be added to the sign series. <br />Guidance: <br />7. When used, the BE PREPARED TO STOP sign should be located before after the Flagger symbol sign. <br />8. ONE LANE ROAD AHEAD signs should also be used to provide adequate advance warning. <br />Support: <br />9. Turns can be prohibited as required by vehicular traffic conditions. Unless the streets are wide, it might be <br />physically impossible to make certain turns, especially for large vehicles. <br />Option: <br />10. Vehicle hazard warning signals may be used to supplement high-intensity rotating, flashing, oscillating, or <br />strobe lights. <br />Standard: <br />11. Vehicle hazard warning signals shall not be used instead of the vehicle’s high-intensity rotating, <br />flashing, oscillating, or strobe lights.
