| Summary: | The purpose of this project is to summarize the results of the research project that explored the use of portable traffic signal technology as a means for improving the efficiency of two-lane rural maintenance operations. The research findings are based on limited field testing of portable signals in actual routine pavement maintenance work. Issues such as work zone design, driver comprehension, signal operation, and signal equipment features are discussed as they relate to this particular portable signal application. |
