01 Chapter 6D and Sections 6F.74 and 6G.05 contain additional information regarding the steps to follow when pedestrian or bicycle facilities are affected by the worksite.

02 (DE Revision) Detour signs are used to direct road users onto another roadway. At diversions, road users are directed onto a temporary roadway or alignment placed within or adjacent to the right-of-way. Typical applications for detouring or diverting road users on two-lane highways are shown in Figures 6H-7 and 6H-20. Figure 6H-7 illustrates the controls around an area where a section of roadway has been closed and a diversion has been constructed. Channelizing devices and pavement markings are used to indicate the transition to the temporary roadway.

Guidance:

03 When a detour is long, Detour (M4-8, M4-9) signs should be installed to remind and reassure road users periodically that they are still successfully following the detour.

04 (DE Revision) When an entire roadway is closed, as illustrated in Figure 6H-20, a detour should be provided and road users should be warned in advance of the closure. If local road users are allowed to use the roadway up to the closure, the ROAD CLOSED AHEAD, LOCAL TRAFFIC ONLY (R11-3a) sign should be used. The portion of the road open to local road users should have adequate signing, marking, and delineation.

05 (DE Revision) Detours should be signed so that road users will be able to traverse the entire detour route and back to the original roadway as shown in Figure 6H-20.

Support:

06 Techniques for controlling vehicular traffic under one-lane, two-way conditions are described in Section 6C.10.

Option:

07 Flaggers may be used as shown in Figure 6H-10.

08 (DE Revision) STOP/YIELD sign control may be used on roads with low traffic volumes as shown in Figures 6H-11 and 6H-11A. Where the opposite shoulder is suitable for carrying vehicular traffic and of adequate width, lanes may be shifted along two-lane roads with low traffic volumes as shown in Figure 6H-11B.

09 A temporary traffic control signal may be used as shown in Figure 6H-12.
