Current through Register Vol. 28, No. 3, September 1, 2024
Support:
01 Minor traffic incidents are typically disabled vehicles and minor crashes that result in lane closures of less than 30 minutes. On-scene responders are typically law enforcement and towing companies, and occasionally highway agency service patrol vehicles.
02 Diversion of traffic into other lanes is often not needed or is needed only briefly. It is not generally possible or practical to set up a lane closure with traffic control devices for a minor traffic incident. Traffic control is the responsibility of on-scene responders.
Guidance:
03 When a minor traffic incident blocks a travel lane, it should be removed from that lane to the shoulder as quickly as possible.
