Section 6C.05 - Transition Area
Current through Register Vol. 28, No. 3, September 1, 2024
Support:
01 The transition area is that section of highway where road users are redirected out of their normal path. Transition areas usually involve strategic use of tapers, which because of their importance are discussed separately in detail.
Standard:
02 When redirection of the road users' normal path is required, they shall be directed from the normal path to a new path.
Option:
03 Because it is impractical in mobile operations to redirect the road user's normal path with stationary channelization, more dominant vehicle-mounted traffic control devices, such as arrow boards, portable changeable message signs, and high-intensity rotating, flashing, oscillating, or strobe lights, may be used instead of channelizing devices to establish a transition area.
