California MUTCD 2014 Edition <br />(FHWA's MUTCD 2009 Edition, including Revisions 1 & 2, as amended for use in California) <br />Notes for Figure 6H-7 —Typical Application 7 <br />Road Closure with a Diversion <br />Page 1151 <br />Support: <br />1. Signs and object markers are shown for one direction of travel only. <br />Standard: <br />2. Devices similar to those depicted shall be placed for the opposite direction of travel. <br />3. Pavement markings no longer applicable to the traffic pattern of the roadway shall be removed or <br />obliterated before any new traffic patterns are open to traffic. <br />4. Temporary barriers and end treatments shall be crashworthy. <br />Guidance: <br />5. If the tangent distance along the temporary diversion is more than 600 feet, a Reverse Curve sign, left first, <br />should be used instead of the Double Reverse Curve sign, and a second Reverse Curve sign, right first, <br />should be placed in advance of the second reverse curve back to the original alignment. <br />6. When the tangent section of the diversion is more than 600 feet, and the diversion has sharp curves with <br />recommended speeds of 30 mph or less, Reverse Turn signs should be used. <br />7. Where the temporary pavement and old pavement are different colors, the temporary pavement should start <br />on the tangent of the existing pavement and end on the tangent of the existing pavement. <br />Option: <br />8. Flashing warning lights and/or flags may be used to call attention to the warning signs. <br />9. On sharp curves, large arrow signs may be used in addition to other advance warning signs. <br />10. Delineators or channelizing devices may be used along the diversion. <br />11. If the tangent distance along the temporary diversion is less than 600 feet, additional One -Direction Large Arrow (W1-6) <br />and -Chevron Alignment (W1-8) signs may be used. <br />12. When recommended speeds are the same for each curve, one Double Reverse Curve (W24-1) sign may be used, <br />instead of two Reverse Curve (W1-4) signs, in advance of the first curve. <br />Support <br />: <br />13. Use crash cushions, wherever applicable. <br />Chapter 6H —Typical Applications November 7, 2014 <br />Part 6 —Temporary Traffic Control <br />
