Event Description/Abstract
Portable traffic signals have been proven to dramatically increase work zone safety as well as improve overall traffic efficiency. But sometimes an application has unique circumstances that require special consideration. Heavy pedestrian traffic, driveways within a work zone, roundabouts, and more can complicate the design process. This presentation examines specific case studies and discusses how portable traffic signals have been used in unique ways. Special components and system capabilities will also be covered.
