SS 00150.01 Inspector’s

Authority and Duties include

the responsibility to orally

reject defective materials…

General Guidance

Role of Construction Inspector The construction inspector has the toughest job in construction. The Inspector has the responsibility and authority to point out deviations from specifications, but has no corresponding authority to approve changes, even though they might be minor. The Inspector’s function begins and ends with seeing that construction operations produce the results called for in the plans and specifications. If an Inspector has the quality of firmness coupled with patience, and judgment inherent with a desire to be correct but practical, then they will fulfill their intended function on the construction team.

Inspectors must work constantly to achieve a high standard of excellence in the administration and quality control of construction projects. Each Inspector has the responsibility to perform in such a manner that their personal goals and the owner/designer goals are in harmony. Since an Inspector is isolated from immediate supervisory resources and guidance much of the time, they must be able and comfortable in making many individual judgments throughout the workday affecting the quality of construction. The Inspector represents the owner at the site of work and is empowered to enforce the provision of the Contract. The Inspector is authorized to reject materials and workmanship not in conformance with contract requirements.

The Inspector must be mature, confident, patient, meticulous in duties, and be a person of integrity who also possesses good judgment. There are innumerable attributes that make up a good Inspector. An unknown author once described an Inspector best by defining what they are not:

An Inspector is NOT a designer, although they must be able to read plans and speak with designers.

An Inspector is NOT a surveyor, although they must understand surveying principles.

An Inspector is NOT a superintendent, although they must know construction and good planning.

An Inspector is NOT a policeman, although they must secure compliance with the Contract.

An Inspector is NOT a lawyer, although they must understand and enforce Contract Law.

An Inspector is NOT a carpenter or other tradesman, although they must recognize qualified people.

An Inspector is NOT an accountant, although they must be able to keep detailed records.


4

The ideal Inspector must have desire, reasonableness, firmness, good judgment, knowledge, and courtesy. Their interactions with construction crews must be friendly and firm without familiarity, and must be conducted with the skill of a diplomat. The fundamental requirements for a good Inspector are:

Knowledge – It is of paramount importance that the Inspector has knowledge of the work inspected.

Common Sense – The means to synchronize knowledge and specifications; apply one to the other.

Observation – see with eyes as well as considered thought about the image observed.

Physical Tools – Measuring devices, testing equipment, notebook, pencil; and the ability to use them.

Courtesy – Valid criticism; how one says it can drastically effect how one receives it.

Documentation The importance of documentation on a construction project cannot be stressed enough. It is critical for recording quantities and quality of materials placed which allows the contractor to be paid and the Agency confirmation of quality. It is also critical to provide a history of how the project was built for future reference like for making adjustments in the contract time. In addition, it could be important for providing information for the Agency in resolving a dispute. The ODOT Construction Manual has a complete chapter on Project Records. To assist the Inspector, excerpts from the chapter are included in the General Inspection Training Manual under the documentation tab.

Inspector Resources Inspectors have many resources available to help them perform their job duties effectively. The most important construction resources are the project plans, special provisions and Oregon Standard Specifications, Volumes 1 and 2. These resources will be discussed in later sections.

Other important resources that may be referred to in the plans or specifications include:

The Manual of Field Test Procedures (Brown Book): The Brown Book applies to testing done at the jobsite like compaction and/or materials sampled at the jobsite like aggregate or concrete. The manual provides several sections including a description of the ODOT Quality Assurance Program; testing requirements and test methods for various materials used; report forms and examples; and The Field Tested Materials Acceptance Guide for Type D or E Projects Only.


5

The Field Tested Materials Acceptance Guide for Type D or E Projects section is important for inspectors to understand as it details what tests are to be performed; who is to perform them and how frequently they must be performed. While the Quality Control Compliance Specialist (QCCS) is responsible for monitoring the testing, oftentimes it is the inspector’s responsibility to notify the QCCS when testing will be needed. Also, it is important to be aware that the testing is occurring and that, where possible, test results are documented in the Inspector’s Daily Report.

The Non-Field Tested Materials Acceptance Guide: Non-field tested materials include items like sediment barrier, geotextile, steel piling and bolts. The Guide provides a table of the materials covered along with a list of the required acceptance (quality) documents. A flow chart with guidance on how to use the NFTMG is included in the NTMAG tab in the General Construction Inspection Training Manual. For more navigational tips, refer to the Review Section of this Supplement.

Qualified Products List: The "QUALIFIED PRODUCTS LIST" (QPL) is a comprehensive list of all finished products which have been evaluated and/or used by the Oregon DOT. Because there are items that are used over and over on projects, it makes sense to maintain a list of products that have been used and don’t need to be re-evaluated every time they are to be incorporated. If an item is required to be taken from the QPL, the Non-Field Tested Materials Guide will provide direction to the QPL. For more navigational tips, refer to the Review Section of this Supplement.

Construction Manual: An additional useful publication is

the Construction Manual which you may find in the office bound in an orange binder. The Manual provides background and procedural guidance for Volume 1 of the Oregon Standard Specifications. Chapter 12, Project Records is of particular interest to an inspector as it provides guidance on preparing Daily Reports/Diaries and Quality Documentation, etc.

Order of Precedence Many documents may be referenced for a project and sometimes conflicting information is included. For example, the project plans may call out for a given dimension and the special provisions have something different. To reconcile the differences, an order of


6

precedence has been established. The order of precedence is listed in Volume 1 of the ODOT Standard Specifications, under 00150.10(a).

The order is presented in the pyramid to the left indicating that the most general project document which is also, in most cases the oldest, has the least precedence. As you

move up the pyramid, the documents become increasingly more project specific and more current with contract change orders taking precedence over all other documents. Note that an order of precedence for material specifications and test methods also is established and can be found in section 00165.20.

Specifications and Plans As previously mentioned, the critical documents to have available when inspecting a project include the Special Provisions, Standard Specifications and Plans. The plans provide the requirements for constructing a project including the location and dimensions of all features that will be incorporated which make them unique for each project. To answer questions like how deep to install a feature or which side of the highway to place a pipe, the answers are going to be found in the plans. Answers to questions about the scope of the work, the construction limitations, and the necessary equipment are going to be found in the specifications.

Specifications

The Oregon Standard Specifications for Construction provide the basic guidelines for constructing a project. The Standard Specifications are printed about every six years so there are areas that require updates as technology changes or best practices are identified. To document the changes, ODOT posts boiler plate special provisions that include the recent changes for a given specification. When a project is developed, the standard specifications and/or boiler plate specifications are compiled and modified as needed and incorporated into the special provisions. From an inspector’s perspective, the first check on a specification


7

Searching for a Specification

Specification Organization

should be to the special provisions which may or may not refer back to the standard specifications.

Navigating the Specifications The Oregon Standard Specifications for Construction include two volumes. Volume 1 contains Part 00100 and covers the defined terms, the bidding process and contractual relationships. Essentially, it covers the rules of the contract between the Agency and the Contractor. Volume 2 contains Parts 00200 through 03000 which describe the actual details of how a design feature is going to be constructed.

Believe it or not, ODOT standard specifications and special provisions (Sections 00200 through 01999) subsections are organized in the same way. The figure to the right shows the general organization of the subsections. Each specification will have unique subsections like scope, labor, construction, etc. but the individual subsections will always be listed under X.00 for Scope; X.30 for Labor and X.40 for construction, etc. For example, if the question was, “What type of labor is required for Pipe Lining?” it could be answered by looking under 00410.30 (Pipe Lining, Personnel Qualifications). If the question was, “How is pipe lining measured?” The answer could be found by referencing 00410.80 (Pipe Lining, Measurement).

Sometimes, however, more effort is required. Navigating the specifications could be as easy as referring to the table of contents and/or index. The key to finding answers in the specifications is to not give up – and be sure to read the entire subsection. The flow chart is provided as a tool to assist in searching the specifications. For more navigational tips, refer to the Review Section of this Supplement.

Special Provisions and Schedule of Items


8

An alternate method to find a specification is to refer to the special provisions. If the question is specific to a construction project, there should be a related bid item. The special provisions include a Schedule of Items toward the end of the document, which lists all of the project bid items with a specification reference. Hence, if the bid item can be found then the specification can be found.

The Schedule of Items is arranged by sections which are logically sequenced from activities that take place at the beginning of construction to those that take place later in a project. In the class project, the Schedule of Items has ten sections including Section 0001: Temporary Features and Appurtenances, Section 0002: Roadwork, Section 0003: Drainage and Sewers, etc. By narrowing the area of construction, a bid item can be found. A snapshot of Section 0006 Roadwork is shown below:

Items number 560, 570, 580 and 590 reference 0745 which means that Special Provision Section 00745 Hot Mix Asphalt Concrete includes multiple pay items. Since hot mix asphalt concrete paving can include many materials, each material listed is required to be measured and paid for separately.

Navigating the Plans


9

ODOT plans include the specific locations, dimensions, drawings, and installation notes for constructing the features on the project. The plans have consistent layouts that make them easy to navigate. The table below provides a description of what information is provided in a plan set by sheet number.

Common views presented include the plan, elevation, and cross section view. The views are presented below using a four wheel motorized vehicle, courtesy of NHI Course 134108 Plan Reading. For more information and detail, check out the NHI website for on-line training modules.

The Plan View is a snapshot of a feature looking directly down on it. The elevation is looking at a feature straight on from one side or the back. The cross section view can either be a slice across the side or the middle as shown in the example to the right.

In the cross section view to the right, a section has been “sliced” away and the inside of the armored car is seen from the side. The inside of the car is also shown. In a drawing, dotted lines show parts not seen, such as the tires or other parts that cannot be seen.

Select Plan Components Alignment

When building a project, oftentimes more than one roadway segment includes work activities. Each roadway segment is an alignment with a unique designation. The designation may apply to an off-ramp or an adjoining street or separate alignments on divided highways. For example, for a project constructed in Lane County for the Beltline Highway, one alignment was designated BL for Belt Line while another alignment was designated EBO for East Bound Off-ramp. Information in the plan set will be tied to an alignment which can typically be found on the Title Sheet.

Stationing

Stationing is used to identify the beginning and ending of a given section on an alignment or to identify a point where a feature is located. Stationing is designated continuously from a starting point of 0+00. Each 100 feet increases the stationing by one so that the stationing would run 1+00 to 2+00, etc. The 2+00 indicates that the point is 200 feet from a starting point. If the point was 3005 feet from a starting point, the station would be 30+05.

Stationing is marked along the centerline of a given alignment as shown in the example. Stationing allows the distance between any two points to be determined. For example, to determine the distance between Sta. EBO 104+00 to Sta EBO 105+07.5, remove the “+” in the stations and subtract the higher station from the lower station: 10507.5-10400=107.5 feet.

Example of construction note with direction Rt. designated.

Typical Section Components

When a particular feature is located along an alignment, a station will be provided with an offset distance designated either left or right. To determine the orientation of left and right side of road, picture yourself standing on the beginning station looking ahead with the stationing increasing. From that perspective, the right offset is to your right and the left is to the left side of the roadway.

Typical Sections – General

Typical sections are cross sectional views that define the configuration of a proposed roadway at right angles to the centerline. Typical sections show the width, thickness, and descriptions of the surfacing courses, as well as, the geometrics of the graded roadbed, side ditches, and side slopes. Typical sections will have the alignment designation and the beginning and ending stations to show where that typical section is used and what is going on between those stations.

Typical section requirements differ from project to project; however, all typical sections share the same general components as shown in the figure above and described below.

Median – The portion of a divided highway separating the traveled way for traffic in opposing directions. The principal functions of a median are to separate opposing traffic, provide a recovery area for out-of-control vehicles, provide a stopping area in case of emergencies, allow space for speed changes, storage of left turning vehicles, minimize headlight glare, and to provide width for future lanes.

Profile Grade – A control point referring to the design profile for maintaining proper roadbed grade.


13

Traveled Way – The area of roadway surface designed for vehicular movement (traffic lanes) between fog lines.

Paved Shoulder – The portion of the roadway contiguous with the traveled way for emergency use recovery of out of control vehicles, accommodation of pedestrians, bicyclists, and stopped vehicles, and for lateral support of subbase rock, base rock, and surface courses.

Rock Shoulder – The shoulder created with rock drainage material used to cover the ends of the surface courses and bases, and for additional area for recovery of out of control vehicles.

Curb – Edging along a street or roadway.

Foreslope – Negative slope of drainage channel. Slope must accommodate recovery of out of control vehicles.

Backslope – Positive slope of drainage channel. Slope must accommodate recovery of out of control vehicles.

Typical Sections – ODOT

Typical sections are used in most contract plans developed in the ODOT format. They are an important part of the plans because they show a detailed cross-sectional view of the work to be done. Therefore, each subsequent typical section or partial section represents a change or variation in the design.

Typical Sections are listed in the following order:

Mainline

Frontage Roads or Intersecting Alignments

Ramps

Check the Stationing on the typical sections to be sure that the entire project is represented with no gaps or overlaps. When looking for a feature, make sure to verify the proper alignment.

Working with the typical section above, many things can be determined including:

This section is applicable for 5800 - 5668 =132 feet

The pavement section includes a subgrade geotextile, 15″ of aggregate base, 6″ of HMAC for base (Level 3 (mix type) dense mix (aggregate gradation) with ¾″ aggregate (largest aggregate size)), and 2″ of HMAC for a wearing course (Level 4 open mix with ¾″ aggregate)

The side slope is to be constructed at 1:2 which represents 1 vertical to 2 horizontal (listed as a separate note in the plans).


14

ODOT Typical Section

Taper Sections

The typical section above includes taper sections since the road width is changing over the 132 feet. At the beginning station for the typical section, the first taper width listed is used. At the ending station for the typical section, the final taper width listed is used. For the section above the taper widths would be:

2' at STA. WOF 56+68

12' at STA. WOF 58+00

Pipe Data Sheets

Pipe data sheets include a wealth of information that can easily be overlooked unless each section is carefully reviewed. Included in the data sheets are the sheet number that provides the location of the pipe installation, the pipe length, diameter, type, use, and appurtenances like attached manholes or inlets. The sheet also includes a list of standard drawings that are needed for the project. Examples of information included in the pipe data sheets are shown in the figures.


15

Example Pipe Data Sheet Information

General Construction Information

After the pipe data sheet, the plans include general construction information. The sheets are bundled by station for easy navigation. The first sheet in the set is General Construction sometimes followed by Drainage and Utilities and then the Profile Sheet. The Profile Sheet may include information on manhole and inlet elevations, grades, and excavation and embankment quantities. For example, general construction information from station 1+00 to 2+00, would start on sheet 3, Sheet 3A would include drainage and utilities and 3B would be the profile. Station 2+00 to 3+00 would be covered by sheets 4 through 4B. Other sheets could be included in the packet like the alignment plan, detour information or removal plans. The other sheets would be linked to the General Construction, Drainage and Utilities and Profile sheets with the same number followed by the next letter in the alphabet. (See Plan Set Organization table.)


16

Construction Plan Sheet

Plan View

The plan views for a project are included on the Construction Plan Sheets. The stationing on the sheets typically increases from left to right. The top of the sheet (above the centerline) is left to the centerline and the bottom of the sheet (below the centerline) is right. Installation location information for features like signs, fencing, guardrail, delineators, and/or guardrail is included.

Profile View

The profile view is like a longitudinal cross section of the road. Elevation, in feet is listed on the left and right hand sides of the section with station listed underneath the section. The profile grade is drawn on the scaled profile at an elevation taken at a point on the highway, usually at the centerline. The original ground line depicts the land before grading. If the original ground is excavated to match the profile grade, the section is a cut area. If the original ground is below the profile grade line, fill material will be required to bring it up to grade.


17

Information included on the profile sheet includes the elevation of the original ground, stations, finished grade, subgrade elevation, curve information and grades. The sheet may also include excavation and embankment quantities, as shown below.

Signing

Permanent signing sheets fall within the broad category of traffic. The sheets include information on the location of the sign, whether it is to be removed or left in place, the location of new signs and the type of sign support all referenced to a sign number. The actual signs are located on a separate plan sheet that shows new signs indicated with solid borders and existing signs indicated with broken borders.

Also included with the sign sheets, are a sign and post data table. The table includes a reference back to the sign number, the size, legend type and the post support type. The sign and post data table references the Oregon Standard Drawings needed for a particular sign construction. Like the pipe data sheet, the signing plan sheets are full of information and careful attention to detail is needed.

Construction Profile Sheet


18

Standard Drawings Standard drawings include design features that are used over and over from project to project. That is, they are not project specific so they won’t include the installation location only the construction information. Standard drawings are like the standard specifications in that they can apply to any project. Features like concrete inlets, guardrail installation, sidewalks, and pavement markings are included.

General Inspection Navigation: Where to Start

Is it a dimension, where is it, or drawing question?

Plans

Is it a project specific construction procedure description or quantity?

Specials

Is it a testing rqruiement for materials in the field i.e. rock, asphalt, soil, etc.?

Brown Book

Is it an approved or qualified manufacturer or product question?

QPL, possibly NTMAG

Is it a required QA document question i.e. FIR, CMO, etc.?

Non‐Field Tested Materials Acceptance Guide

Is it a general construction procedure or what to use for any project?

Standard Spec. Vol. 2

Is it a general contract rule for all contracts?

Standard Spec. Vol. 1

2. Decide what resource to use.

1. Decide what the topic of the question is.


22

Standard Specifications Review Standard Specifications Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 include Contract Rules and General Construction Procedures or Materials common to all contracts. There are two methods for navigating the Standard Specifications: Table of Contents and Index Method. Either method will get you to where you need to go. The Table of Contents method will take longer if you don’t know where to start. The Index method is quicker if you know what the topic of question is. The methods are summarized below.

Table of Contents

a. Each general section is broken down to specific sections in the Table of Contents

b. To use this method, decide what the topic of the question is and what the general section of the topic deals with.

c. Once you find the General Section look down the list of Specific Sections to see which specific section your topic pertains to and go to that specific section.

d. Once you are in a Specific Section then decide which Subsection you are dealing with.

Table of Contents Example:

What are the requirements for removal and salvaging guardrail?

o This is a general construction procedure.

o Topic is removing and salvaging guardrail.

o General section would be Permanent Traffic Safety and Guidance Devices -800

o Part 800 starts on page toc-29. The Specific Section would be 810 – Metal Guardrail.

o Look down the subsection list and find Salvaged Materials – page 533.

Index

To use this method, decide what the topic of the question is, then look in the index for that specific topic.

Index Example:

What are the requirements for removal and salvaging guardrail?

o This is a general construction procedure.


23

o Topic is removing and salvaging guardrail.

o Look in the Index for this topic.

o Index – page 17 has Removal – guardrail page 73, but it has Remove and Salvage Guardrail page 533.

o The second one fits our topic better, so start there.

Non-Field Tested Materials Guide (NTMAG) This Resource will show all of the required Quality Acceptance Documentation needed, if any, for a given material. This document will also reference the QPL if the product needs to be off of the QPL list.

Definitions of each Quality Acceptance Document on the first page of NTMAG.

Set up in Standard Specification order. Starting with 00225 and working up.

Navigating the Non-Field Tested Materials Guide Acceptance includes:

Decide what topic of question is.

Look in Standard Specifications for the Specification number for that topic.

Look in NTMAG for that specification number topic.

Read what Quality Acceptance Document is required, if any, and who needs to submit them.

Qualified Products List (QPL) This resource is a list of manufacturers and products that have been evaluated by ODOT that is either on an approved/qualified list or a rejected list.

Navigating the QPL includes:

Decide what topic of question is.

Look in Standard Specifications for the Specification number for that topic.

Look in Project Special Provisions for any change to the Standard Specifications or Special Directions.

Look in NTMAG for that specification number topic and find out what quality documentation needs to go with that material if any.

Look in QPL under that specification number to find the specific product or manufacturer.

Cold plane pavement removal is used for a variety of treatments including repairing localized failures and removing long segments of highways in preparation for new pavement. Like any construction, a bit of judgment is required to create a good quality milled

pavement that comes in on budget and results in a good quality finished pavement. Here are some questions and answers around the intent of the grinding and the associated specifications.

Q -- Why grind?

A – Grinding is specified for a variety of reasons including: to remove all or part of the cracked surface to help control reflective cracking;

to remove poorly bonded (delaminated) layers which can slide creating pot holes;

to remove poor quality/unstable asphalt pavement; to remove an open graded wearing surface thereby removing a potential water-retaining layer;

to restore the pavement surface without changing the pavement grade.

Q – Section 00620.43 in the Special Provisions sometimes states that Traffic will not be allowed to travel on cold planed surfaces. Why not?

A – The design reason is that traffic could damage a thin layer of pavement left in place that otherwise would be good enough to pave on. We don’t want to delaminate or crack up a good base. Also, there may be safety issues including flying rock and friction.

http://www.adatum.com/

Q – What happens if we grind deeper than the design?

A – Grinding deeper may result in leaving a thin section of pavement that could become dislodged and delaminate. In some areas, like shoulders, aggregate base may be encountered. Going deeper can result in significant pavement quantity overruns. If an extra ½” of mix is required for 500 feet for a 14-foot wide section, the added mix is more than 20 tons. It adds up!

Q – So then, how deep is deep enough?

A – For most situations, the design section should be adequate. For delaminated pavements, once the grinding starts, it is the inspector’s duty to verify that adequate preparation has been made. Check for loose chunks or slabs of material that are left after the pavement has been swept. Can you kick off pieces around the edges? Can you dislodge large sections easily either with your boot or shovel?

Loose and delaminated sections need to be removed which should be readily accomplished with a shovel. When in doubt, check with your PM! The photo below shows a pavement ready for an inlay that was partially delaminated. The loose

slabs have been removed and the pavement swept. While it might not look perfect, all broken edges are

gone and the remaining section adheres well to the layer below it. Once prepared, try to minimize the truck traffic on the pavement to reduce the potential for dislodging more material.

Q – What happens if we are overrunning our quantities and decide to grind a thinner section?

A – Grinding thinner can increase the potential for reflective cracking or increase the potential to leave delaminated pavement sections in place that will lead to shoving and pot holes. With an open graded wearing surface, we typically don’t want to leave an open graded layer under a dense graded pavement because it can trap water and lead to

future problems. Also, depending on the pavement design, a thinner pavement could compromise the pavement life as the design may require new HMAC thickness to accommodate future traffic.

Q – We are done with the grinding, what should we look for during sweeping?

A – Per the specifications (00730.42 and 00745.42), prior to applying tack, remove all material, loose or otherwise, that will reduce adhesion of the tack by brooming, flushing with water, or other approved methods. Dust behind a fast-moving vehicle driving on the milled surface is an indicator of inadequate preparation. The areas to pay close attention to are the corners as shown in the graphic.

Q – The sweeping is done, can we start paving?

A – Maybe. If traffic has been running on the cold planed surface, Section 00620.43 states that …Before beginning paving operations, make repairs to the existing cold planed surface as directed. The intent of the specification is to locate any areas that have cracked or delaminated under traffic. Also, Section 00745.42 requires Preparation of Underlying Surfaces which refers to Section 00610 Reconditioning Existing Roadway which requires removal of unstable material. Now, back to the boilerplate for Section 00620.43, Payment for the repairs will be made according to Section 00196. Bottom line, repair the failed sections caused by traffic and pay for it as Extra Work.

Q – What’s important about applying tack?

A –After the pavement is swept, per 00745.42 all surfaces that will be next to new HMAC, should be tack coated. This includes the edges of the trench; many joint failures have been attributed to missing tack. Be sure that enough tack is placed and that the trucks are not picking it up during paving. The goal is to glue the pavement layers together for long term performance.

00730 Emulsified Asphalt Tack Coat

Tack BondingUltimate Goal – To produce uniform, complete, and adequate tack coverage to bond asphalt pavements to better resist shear stresses.

Section 00730.11 – Dilution of tack coat material (adding additional water) may be allowed up to a maximum 1:1 ratio with Engineer approval.

Poorly Bonded Asphalt Pavements• Reduce fatigue life• 10% bond loss = approximate 50% less

fatigue life• No bond = approximate 60 to 75% loss of

pavement life• Increase slippage and shoving• Canbedifficulttocompact

Controls to Minimize Tracking of Emulsified Tack• Minimizeconstructionvehicletrafficespeciallywhentackis

breaking• Prior to tack application, make sure all surfaces are clean

especially with grinding operations• Apply evenly across surface• Dilute asphalt emulsions• Use alternate approved asphalt emulsion (CSS-1H)• Contact the asphalt emulsion supplier for other methods

Asphalt Emulsion (Tack) Breaking and Setting• Look for the color to change: brown to black• Supplier can adjust tack formulation to increase/decrease set

time if needed• Variables that may affect break time

» Weather (damp weather will delay set time)» Uniformity of tack coat (pooled tack will set slower)» Type of tack (softer tacks will set slower)» Initial temperature of tack (lower tack temperature will

delay set time)» Ambient temperature (cooler temperatures will delay set

time)

Sampling and Handling of Asphalt Emulsions• Sample undiluted asphalt emulsions• Use non-metallic containers for the sample storage• Keep sample out of direct sunlight• Do not excessively jostle or disturb sample• Deliver to the ODOT materials laboratory as soon as possible• Material should be tested within 30 days of sampling

745.61 Longitudinal Joints

All pavements have one internal weakness – joints.

Premature joint failures are the result of a combination of low density, permeability, segregation and lack of adhesion at the interface. According to a recent FHWA and Asphalt Institute study, improving HMAC joint quality is probably the single most important thing that can be done to improve pavement performance.

Q – So what’s so bad about raking?

A – Raking can remove material away from the pavement edge creating a trench area that does not get adequately compacted. As shown in Figure 1 on the next page.

If the red material (Box A) is removed from the hot mat, the roller bridges the area as shown in Box B. When the mat is finally compacted, the area under the wedge of material has experienced no compaction (Box C) so has a high void content and is most likely more permeable than the surrounding mat.

Q – What if the contractor doesn’t rake the joint but places hot mix right at the face of the cold joint?

A – This method would be good and fine if all pavements were uniform and smooth. Most contractors use a ski to determine pavement depth that is averaged over the length of the ski.

If there are intermittent high spots along the length of the cold joint, insufficient material will be placed to provide a tight joint. Also, the high spots could be bridged creating marginally compacted areas as shown above.

Q – What is the best process for building a longitudinal joint?

A – Best practices include:

First, overlap the existing lane (of a butt joint constructed with the paver) 1 inch +/-0.5”. When the butt joint is constructed by milling or cutting back the existing lane, the overlap should be about ½ inch. If the overlap exceeds 1.5”, carefully remove the excess with a shovel. See Figure 2.

Don’t rake the joint and only bump the joint if more material is needed. Ensure that enough material is at the joint - thickness of rolldown – 25% (2” lift – ½”).

Compact the supported edge of joint with the first pass of vibratory roller drum on the hot mat, but staying back from the joint 6 to 8” on the 1st pass. The 2nd pass should then overlap onto the cold mat 4 to 6”. Watch for any stress cracks developing in the mat that are parallel and 6 to 8” off the joint. If cracks develop, switch to the method presented in the next bullet.

An alternative compaction process is to have the 1st pass of the vibratory roller on the hot mat overlapping 4 to 6” onto the cold mat. A concern is that if an insufficient depth of HMAC is placed next to the cold mat (starving the joint), the roller will bridge over and not compact the hot material completely as shown in Figure 1.

Ensure that when the joint is completed, the overlap thickness is no more than 0.1” higher to ensure no bridging ever occurred. Figure 1. Pushing too much material away from the joint

will result in low density at the joint as shown in Box C.

Spec Notes & Best Practices

August 2018 Number 501030.13(c) Pure Live SeedThis section provides a formula and an example calculation to obtain the correct amount of seed per acre. Using the example formula provided in this Section works well if one seed type is specified, or if the Contractor plans to mix individual seed bags in the field. However, it is common that the Contractor will provide a premixed seed blend.

The last sentence in Specifica-tion 01030.13(c) states, “For a seed mix, make this calculation for every seed to obtain the total amount to be applied.” The intent of this specification is to ensure that the application of a seed mix meets the minimum pounds per acre (lbs/acre) for each type of specified seed. The calculation example in 01030.13(d) assists in achieving this requirment. An additional example is on page 2 of this SpecNote.

Specification 01030.13(e) states, “Furnish seed mixes that meet the labeling, quality and inspec-tion requirements stated above.” This Specification reiterates that every seed must meet the above inspection requirements.

Specification 01030.13(f) states, “Seed mixes, quantities, stan-dards, seeding rates, and other information will be included in the Special Provisions for each type of seed mix.”

Questions & Answers: Applying premixed seed blend

Q – When you run through thePure Live Seed (PLS) calculations for every seed, why wouldn’t you just add them all up to obtain the Amount (lb/acre)?

A – That would only work if thatspecific seed mix (lot or batch #) had the exact mix percentage and germination/purity rates of 100%. Seeds are perishable living things and variability is to be expected. Adding all the seeds together is a common misconception and would likely not be applying some or all seed species at the specified application rate. The example on page 2 helps demonstate why this does not meet the Specificaiton. If you total the Amount (lb/acre), you will get a total of 9.1 lb/acre. By running the extra caluclation, you will find that the pre-blended seed mix needs to be applied at 15.1 lb/acre to satisfy the Spec requirement for California brome, and is the con-trolling factor for this specific seed mix/lot #. If the seed is applied at 9.1 lb/acre, then the California Brome would be out of specification by 6 lb/acre.

Q – Some seed mixes have a large variety of indiviudal seed types with differentpercentages for each of them. Is there an easier way to calculate this?

A – Yes, ODOT has a new form called “Premixed Seed Blends, Adjusted Ratesof Application” (form 734-5180) that will calculate the amount of seed mix to apply. The required inputs for the form are the specified application rate for each seed type, purity, germination, and percent of seed for that lot #. After you pre-measure the acreage (always pre-measure, don’t go off the plan measurement!) then you can enter that to see how many pounds you will need for that seed mix lot/batch number. If there are changes to batch/lot number and/or seed mix, you will need to fill out a new form.

Note:The PLS calculations were formulated when ODOT used only grass seeds on road-sides. Now native seeds and wildflower seeds are often included. Some of these seeds are by nature “dirty” or they germinate the second year (which would not be identified in testing). If a seed has very low purity and germination rates that skew the calculations beyond what is reasonable, contact the POR to discuss providing that one seed at a weight independent of the PLS calculations. The POR’s approval will be needed.

Seeding ExampleUse the Directions, Permanent Seeding (as you would find in section 01030.13(f)) and the Permanent Seed Tag (Lot# 28167840) below to calculate the actual application rate where the shorted seed type is applied at the specified rate, so that all seeds meet or exceed the specified amount per acre.

Directions:1. Using the permanent seed tag for the pre-blended

mix,Lot# 28167840, fill in the “Purity” and “Germination”blanks. Then, calculate the “Amount” respectively.

2. Using the seed tag, determine the weight of eachseed species in the 25 lb. bag.Example: Sheep Fescue is 6.5% x 25 lb. = 1.625 lb. of Sheep Fescue in this 25 lb. bag

3. Use this information to find out how much Sheep Fescue is in 1 lb. for this pre-blended mix.1.625 lb. Sheep Fescue ÷ 25 lb. bag = 0.065 lb. of Sheep Fescue per 1 lb. of the pre-blended mix.Note: You can bypass the logical sequence in steps 2 & 3, by moving the decimal two spaces to the left.Example: Canada Wildrye 52.9% per 25 lb. bag = 0.529lb of Canada Wildrye per 1 lb. of this 25 lb. bag.

4. To determine how much of the pre-blended seed mix is needed to provide the specified weight of SheepFescue, divide the “Amount” of Sheep Fescue by the weight of Sheep Fescue in 1 lb. of the pre-blended mix.Example: 0.6 ÷ 0.065 lb. = 9.2 lb. per acre

5. Do this for each seed in this pre-blended mix. Determine the highest rate and apply this seed mix at this rate.

Alignment and Stationing

Method to the Madness (for most plan sets)

Look at Title Sheet for alignment designations

Look at Typical Sections for corresponding alignments

Look at General Construction Plan and Profile Sheets to match roadways with alignments

Alignment and StationingMost Plans have the Alignments designated on the Title Sheet

that correspond to the typical section alignments.

Contract Plans 12-6

Stationing

How to read stations:

– Alignment designation “L” followed by beginningstation number to ending station number

– STA. “L” 510+90 to STA. “L” 515+40

To find distance between any two stations:

– Remove the “+” sign in the number and subtract theending station from the beginning station

51540 – 51090 = 450 feet

Question 12-1:

On sheet 8/242 of the plans, what is the distance between the two stations for the upper typical section shown?

Taper Sections (asterisk example)

Sheet 2A-2 (6/172)

1. Match the asterisks between the stationing and the designated width2. Read from left to right (left most station applies to the left number;

right most station applies to the right number)


STA. “D” 34+00 to STA. “D” 37+00 – Read these from left to right

To determine width of Roadway at “D” 34+00, start on left side and read to right side.

6′+12′+12′+4′ = 34′

Now determine width of Roadway at *“D” 38+00

6′+12′+( (12+4) / 2 = 8) + 4′ = 30′

Now determine width of Roadway at *“D” 39+00.

6′+12′+4′ +4′ = 26′

Sheet 2A-2 (6/172)




“D” 37+00 = 34' “D” 38+00 = 30'

Supporting documentation for visual acceptance is, at a minimum, a field inspection report (FIR). Example: Stone Embankment Gradation



MFTP – Section 4(D)Example 1

Building a road:

3,000 square yards of subgrade stabilization

Place 10,000 tons aggregate base

Place 3,000 tons HMAC

Appropriate pictures are also nice.

What should be Documented?

Refer to 12A-2 of the Construction Manual

Generally track the progress of the Work

– What got accomplished?

– Are there positive or negative schedule impacts?

– Any disagreements or disputes

– Workmanship problems

– Relevant conversations with the Contractor

– Accidents or damage



What should NOT be documented?

Personal opinions…even if they are positive

Irrelevant information


Four years from now you should be able to answer a few questions.




When, exactly, did the earthwork begin?

What caused the delay?

Who was involved in the conversation?

Did the Contractor follow their schedule?

Was the corrective work completed? When?

Was the superintendent present and in control of the work?

How much work was completed that day?

Public Records

Public Record:

…any writing that contains information relating to the conduct of the public’s business…prepared, owned, used or retained by a public body regardless of physical form or characteristics.

Tribal Employment Rights Ordinance (TERO)

DBE Program

Key Monitoring & Compliance Topics

Policy

Goals and commitments

Termination or substitution of DBE’s

CUF reviews

Summary Reports of Subcontractors Paid



DBE Program Policy

Set by the Director of ODOT

Ensure non-discrimination in USDOT-assisted contracts

Level playing field for DBEs to compete fairly

Narrowly tailored program

Ensure only eligible firms participate

Help remove barriers to participation of DBEs

Developing DBEs to compete outside the program

Give same priority as compliance with other legal obligations to USDOT

DBE Program: Goals and Commitments

There are DBE contract goals and an Overall DBE Goal

Current Overall DBE Goal: 11.6% (RN 5.0%, RC 6.6%)

When OCR assigns a DBE goal to a project, the Prime must commit sufficient work to DBEs to meet the goal

DBE requirements are in the Special Provisions

PM staff monitors DBE program compliance throughout project

OCR Field Coordinator provides project compliance review and technical assistance



Race-Conscious vs Race-Neutral

Race-conscious DBE participation means a measure or program that is focused specifically on assisting only DBE’s and excludes participation by others= DBE contract goals.

Race-neutral DBE participation means any participation by a DBE through customary competitive procurement procedures= **DBE’s win contracts without mandating their participation.

** Small contracting, unbundling, maintenance programs, bonding, access to capital, etc.

DBE CUF Reviews

ODOT may only credit payments toward DBE goals if the DBE performs a CUF

According to Normal Industry Practices



When to Perform a CUF Evaluation

The PM or designated representative must perform at least one CUF review for every DBE:

For each 12-month period the DBE works on the Project (early or peak is better than waiting until the end)

When a significant change in the operation of the DBE occurs (new equipment is used or work crews change)

When a significant Change Order affects the DBE’s Work (for example, a new type of work is added)

After termination and substitution of a DBE (for the new DBE)

FIVE factors must be evaluated when determining whether a DBE is performing a

“Commercially Useful Function”



• The DBE firm owner/superintendent visits the work site, is informed of the work progress, and demonstrates managerial decision-making. Eligible DBE owner retains power to hire and fire.

• The DBE supervisor is an off-season part time employee of the Prime and consults the Prime’s office on hiring decisions. Note on CUF Form

Management and Control

Note on CUF Form

Equipment

DBE is expected to perform work with equipment it owns,is buying, leases or rents (approved written agreement required)

DBE directly controls and supervises operation of equipment

DBE provides operators

– Exception for specialty equipment

– Exception for leased owner-operated trucks

DBE “regular dealer” suppliers must have long-term leases for supplemental distribution equipment (usually trucks) and provide the operators



Equipment – TruckingSpecial Crediting and Lease Rules

DBE must own and operate at least one truck on the project.

DBE may lease trucks from:

– Other DBEs (includes Owner Operators) for full credit

– Non-DBEs (including Owner Operators) for credit, but NOT to exceed the value of work by DBE trucks

No DBE credit for work by trucks leased from Prime

PM to independently monitor and verify DBE truck work on random, unannounced basis

Daily DBE Trucking Log (Form 734-2916)

Required for committed DBE Trucking Subcontractors

Must maintain daily DBE trucking log of all trucks it uses on the project

ODOT form or approved equal must include all information, including certification

Submit completed form(s) weekly

Within 14 days of the first recorded date of the log.

Trucking Log Link



Full Shift Verification & CUF Review

Independently review and verify the trucks DBE uses on the Project

– Without prior notice to the Contractor or Subcontractor(s)

– At least 10% of total value of the DBE trucking

CUF Review – Form 3B still required:

– Reference the independent verification results on the CUF review form

Equipment – RED Flags

Equipment leased/used with payment deducted from Prime’s payments to DBE

Equipment used by DBE belongs to Prime or another firm with no formal lease agreement

Equipment signs and markings cover another owner’s identity (e.g., magnetic signs)

A DBE trucking firm uses Prime’s trucks



1) DBE is subcontracted to install a stealth rail on a bridge. DBE rents a crane for 2 days to temporarily remove an historic feature. Crane is rented with an operator from a 3rd party. An approved rental agreement is on file. DBE otherwise uses its own equipment and workforce to install the rail.

2) DBE is subcontracted to temporarily remove an historic feature, but does not own or lease equipment capable of performing the removal. DBE “borrows” a crane from the Prime to remove the feature.

Note on CUF Form

(Lacks equipment essential to work)

Equipment Application

Note on CUF Form

Workforce

Standard Practice

• DBE keeps a regular workforce

• DBE is not “sharing” employees with non-DBE contractors

• DBE is responsible for payroll and labor compliance for all its employees

Red Flags

• Movement of employees between contractors

• Employee paid by DBE and Prime

• Employee working for Prime in morning, and DBE in afternoon



Counted when DBE:

Negotiates the cost and arranges delivery, AND

Takes ownership, AND

Pays for materials and supplies, AND

Determines the quantity and is responsible for quality

Materials

Red Flags:

• Materials for the DBE ordered/paid for by Prime

• 2-party checks (from both Prime and DBE) to supplier

• Materials essential to DBE’s work are delivered or billed to another firm.

• Materials submittals (certs or drawings) are prepared by another contractor

Performance

Counted when DBE:

• Is responsible for the performance of a distinct element of the work

• Manages its own workforce

• Supervises its own work

• Completes at least 30% of the work of its subcontract with its own labor and equipment

Red Flags:

• Work is being done jointly by DBE firm & another contractor

• Work is outside of DBE’s known experience and capability

• Work volume is beyond DBE’s capacity

• Agreement with the Prime erodes control or independence of the DBE



Inspector’s Role: Observations and Daily Reports

Keep accurate records of equipment used

Keep accurate records of crews working that day

Keep accurate records of whether the DBE is performing work with its own labor/equipment

Keep accurate records and watch out for workforce overlap between DBE/Prime/other contractors

Information noted on the Inspector’s Daily Reports may help you when completing the CUF Review Form 3B.

Addressing Red Flags

Not every red flag means DBE fraud, but every red flagyou observe should be reported:

• On the CUF Review Form 3B (734-2165) and

• To the Project Manager for review and follow-up with the FC

• Contact the OCR FC for technical assistance

See the DBE Work Plan Proposal Form 3A (734-2165A) to identify how DBE said it would perform its work. Note discrepancies!

=



Give Details:- What did you see?- How do you know?- Who told you?

Start when DBE mobilizesonto the job.

Compare with Form 3A –are there any changes?

DBE CUF (Form 3B)

Check/ComparePayrolls and note

the datesthat you checked.

CUF Reviewer signs and notes the datesof the Daily Reports or other documents

(e.g., delivery tickets) that show the DBE

was on site or performed the work.

Project Manager mustsign off on the review.

State here whether DBE performed a

CUF:

“In Compliance” or

“Not in Compliance”



Who and When – CUF Review Process

PM designated staff (usually the Project Inspector) must perform a CUF review of each DBE working on the Project

PM reviews and approves (comments, recommendations, findings)

Field Coordinator review and provides comments, concurrence

Office of Civil Rights (OCR) enters CUF information into database

PM consults with FC or OCR on any required corrective action

TAKEAWAY: A DBE does NOT perform a CUF if……it is merely an extra participant in a transaction,

contract, or project through which funds are passed to obtain the appearance of DBE participation.

Reporting

DBE regulations require ODOT to collect and monitor payment data for all subcontractors.

ODOT is required to report DBE/MWESB utilization and payment data to:

» FHWA

» Governor’s Office

» Legislature

Note: If there is no compliant CUF record or payment data, we are not allowed to report the DBE payments to FHWA!



Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Program

Ensures equal employment opportunity to all individuals regardless of:

Race

Religion

Sex

Color

National origin

Age

Disability

Sexual Orientation

Gender Identity

EEO Program – Posting RequirementsEqual Employment Opportunity is THE LAW

This poster is available in both English and Spanish versions.

Poster needs to be up at the job site accessible to employees.

Inspectors should routinely check the poster is up at the beginning of projects.

Contained in and applies to all federal-aid contracts and subcontracts valued $10,000 or more.



Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

The ADA is a federal law that applies to all projects, regardless of funding source.

All ODOT new facilities are built to current standards or guidance. Alterations to existing facilities trigger specific responsibilities.

All ADA requests or complaints need to be forwarded to OCR. ODOT is required to document all ADA requests and complaints and how they are resolved.

Title VI

No Person in the United States shall, on the grounds of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in,

be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination in any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.

Title VI applies to all programs and activities of Federal-aid recipients, sub recipients, and contractors

whether those programs and activities are federally funded or not.

Impact on project management and construction staff

Project Managers have 72 hours to address a complaint from when the complaint is received.



OJT/Apprenticeship Program Purpose

To ensure skilled workers are trained and available by offering training in the highway construction trades

Use affirmative actions to recruit from a diverse pool of applicants including minorities and women

Apprentices are often brand new to construction trades.

VT WT

Increasing Energy

Only the volume of voids decreases (i.e., individual soil particles get closer to each other).

Therefore, dry density is a measure of how close the soil particles are to each other.

Does weight of soil and water change? Does total volume change?

How do wet and dry density change? Does the moisture content change?

How does percent saturation change? What happens at 0 air voids

Materials 22-4

Dealing with Wet Materials

Wet material is normally suitable, just wet

Work multiple areas

Keep lifts thinner than normal

Aerate the material with equipment

Mix material with rock

Route trucking over different areas in the fill or cut

Provide suggestions, not direction

Importance of Compaction

The density or degree of compaction of soil and aggregate has a significant influence on the stability and durability roadways

Low density subgrade, subbase, base or embankment will lead to excessive deflection under load and / or long term settlement.

Reduced performance


Materials 22-5

Performing Compaction Testing

Two Test Methods

Deflection TestingODOT TM158

Nuclear Density Testing

– AASHTO T310

– ODOT TM8


Materials 22-6

ODOT TM-158 – Deflection Testing

Required for soil and aggregate materials

Basically a proof roll operation

Water or haul truck loaded to Gross Vehicle Weight and driven over the entire compacted area

No yielding, deflection. Reaction, or pumping of the ground surface

Must PASS before conducting other compaction tests

Must be performed by a certified density technician

330.43(b-2-c) – “…witnessed by the Engineer….”

Inspector Documentation to Include:

Any problems encountered

Times technician was on-site

Areas tested

ODOT TM 158 Deflection Testing results; witness testing

Nuclear test results – aggregate applications

Suggestion: Document on General Daily Report


Materials 22-7

Specific Gravity

Specific Gravity: The ratio of the mass of one substance to the mass of water (both with the same volume).

For example the Specific Gravity of rock is:

So the rock is 2.500 times heavier than water.

Why is specific gravity important?

HMAC specific gravity is in the Special Provisions.

Aggregate quantities listed in the Bid Items are based on an assumed specific gravity

Contractor may use a source that is significantly different from what was used for estimating (think lead versus cinders!).

Differences between assumed and actual can affect quantities used.


Materials 22-8

Specific Gravity Example 1

The Bid Item (BI) lists 1000 tons of aggregate based on an assumed SG = 2.600

Contractor’s aggregate has an actual SG = 2.700

Calculate actual tons of the Contractor’s aggregate required:

So, 38 additional tons of aggregate are needed to cover the designed volume.

Specific Gravity Example 2

BI lists 1000 tons at an assumed SG = 2.600

Contractor’s aggregate has an actual SG = 2.500

Calculate actual tons of the Contractor’s aggregate required:

So 38 tons less of aggregate are needed to cover the same volume.


Materials 22-9

Gradation of Materials

Gradation of Materials (Sieve Analysis)

Gradation determined by sieve analysis

Reveals the size makeup of materials from largest to smallest


Materials 22-10

Well-graded materials have an even distribution of particle sizes that provide better load handling properties


Witness all deflection tests

TM158 deflection testing needs to be performed by contractors certified density technician

Need proper moisture, reasonable lift thickness, and adequate compaction to achieve dense material

Compaction is critical

Talk to your QCCS about materials related issues

report for information.

6:00 pm- Inspector talked with Ray about the soft spot in the grade and he will have a dozer and excavator remove and farm that area tonight, and place

better material in its place. The night crew will work in Crystal hauling from cut 5 and start off placing material in the buttress and work towards the

roadway prism once the soft spot is farmed. PSI had also informed Inspector of passing deflection tests from 832+00 to 835+50 and was okay to place

another lift over the grade. From 835+00 to 837+50 the roadway prism will need testing in the morning before placing next lift.

6:15 pm- First truck load arrives in Crystal. The embankment crew started using a dozer in both areas. One in the buttress and one in the prism

regrading the soft spot.

9:00 pm- Extra dozer is finished with the soft spot farming material and now will work compaction in the buttress.

12:00 am- Crew breaks for lunch.

12:30 am- Crew will haul material to the buttress until it changes for drier and rockier embankment material.

1:00 am- Inspector leaves job site. Anthony will remain until shift ends. See his daily report for information. Most of the embankment was in the

roadway prism and PSI should test the roadway prism before placing the next lift. Working grade elevation in Crystal at approx 371'-372' +/-. The

buttress grade elev. approx 372'-373'

Note: The lift covering approx. sta. 835+50 - 837+50 along with the soft spot referring to above, should be tested before placing next lift.

September 2018 Introduction

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this handbook is to provide basic information for the safe and effective use of a Portable Changeable Message Sign (PCMS). This handbook will illustrate proper setup and delineation for a PCMS, as well as provide users with a variety of example messages for a broad range of roadway activities.

A PCMS is a large electronic sign used to display programmable, dynamic messages to provide traffic with timely warnings, guidance, or notification of approaching roadway conditions.

Also known as a portable variable message sign (PVMS), this handbook may be used in Oregon for roadway maintenance activities, incident management, other short-term activities, and long-term construction projects on Oregon roadways.

National and Oregon state standards, policies, and specifications that apply to PCMS are found in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) [1], the Oregon Standard Specifications for Construction [2], theOregon Temporary Traffic Control Handbook (OTTCH) [3], and ODOT Standard Drawing TM 800.

The contents of this handbook are based on guidance found in the following:

Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) [1]FHWA’s Portable Changeable Message Sign Handbook [4]Oregon Temporary Traffic Control Handbook (OTTCH) [3]Texas Transportation Institute’s (TTI) Development of a Field Guide for Portable Changeable Message Sign Use in Work Zones [5]

Other available studies, guidelines, and research were also referenced in the compilation of this handbook. A complete list of referred works is available in the References section.


September 2018 Introduction

WHEN TO USE A PCMS A PCMS is a proven effective tool in a variety of temporary traffic control conditions where modifications are made to the existing roadway environment, traffic operations, traffic patterns, or other changes that strain driver expectancy and demand increased driver attention, including where:

Posted traffic speeds are reduced to enhance work zone safety.

Normal traffic speeds are expected to drop substantially or fluctuate regularly due to increased traffic congestion.

Anticipated increases in traffic queuing and travel delays are expected.

Changes are made to roadway alignments or pavement surfaces.

Advance notification for ramp, lane, or roadway closures is needed.

Lane usage changes (e.g. lane closures, turn lane closures, loss of climbing/passing lane, etc.).

A supplement to temporary signs or pavement markings would enhance road user safety.

Permanent signing has failed (e.g. sign structure failure, blocked visibility, vandalism, etc.).

A special event (e.g. sporting event, concert, parade, protest, etc.)impacts normal traffic operation.

Emergency situations or incident response create a need fordynamic advance warnings or detour information.

Adverse weather or environmental conditions exist (e.g. dust, smoke, fog, etc.).


September 2018 Equipment

EQUIPMENT PCMS are divided into three categories based on character height and the number of message lines that can be displayed (See Table 1).

Type A – Full Size PCMSo Where posted speed > 45 MPH.o May be used on low speed facilities where adequate space

allows for safe roadside placement.

Type B – Mini PCMSo Where posted speed < 45 MPH.o May be used on high speed facilities in emergency situations.

Type C – Truck-mounted PCMSo Mounted on a work trucks (e.g. dump truck, 1-ton flat bed,

Incident Response vehicle, etc.); or,o Other Equipment (e.g. roller compactor, motor grader, etc.)

Max. Number of Characters per Line ** 8 Characters

* Character heights less than 18 inches, or more than 3 lines shall not be used on Full SizePCMS.** Characters shall have a height-to-width ration of 1.4:1 (e.g. 5x7 character matrix.)

For mobile operations, a series of truck-mounted PCMS may be used to display warning messages, or be set to “Caution” mode. Truck-mounted PCMS are recommended for mobile operations for all roads [3].

NOTE: Use of vehicle-mounted flashing warning lights placed in front, or in the line of sight of the PCMS can affect the legibility of the PCMS message and blind drivers – particularly at night. Consider turning off flashing warning lights mounted between the PCMS and approaching traffic.


September 2018 Equipment

Operate the PCMS according to the manufacturer’s instructions, the temporary traffic control plan, and the project specifications, where applicable.

For work activities on Oregon highways, use a PCMS listed on ODOT’s Qualified Products List (QPL). The ODOT fleet procurement process addresses specific needs for ODOT purchases.

Trailer Mounted PCMS Truck Mounted PCMS


September 2018 Placement

PLACEMENT Locate and align the PCMS to provide maximum legibility and time for public traffic to interpret and respond appropriately to the message.

Site Selection Locate a suitable site for the PCMS and adjust for road conditions as follows:

1. Straight, flat, level sections of roadway where practical.2. Site should be safely accessible by maintenance/towing vehicle.3. PCMS unit should be visible from ½ mile in day and nighttime

conditions.4. PCMS message using 18 inch characters should be legible from 600

feet (min.) at night and 800 feet (min.) during daylight conditions.5. Mini or Truck-mounted PCMS should be legible from 650 ft (min.)

under daylight or nighttime conditions.

PCMS located near a pullout for accessibility

6. PCMS unit shall be located behind a traffic barrier or delineated using the PCMS Installation Detail on ODOT Standard Drawing TM800, or as shown in the OTTCH [3], Chapter 4.

Delineated PCMS using TM800 detail



TM800 PCMS installation detail

7. When not displaying messages, the PCMS should be turned off and the panel should be rotated away from traffic. When practical, and if not being used for a long period of time (e.g. more than 24 hours), PCMS should be moved behind a traffic barrier or to a location that minimizes exposure to live traffic.

8. If relocating or shielding the PCMS behind a traffic barrier is not practical, turn the PCMS panel away from traffic and delineate using the PCMS Installation Detail on ODOT Standard Drawing TM800, or as shown in the OTTCH [3], Chapter 4.

PCMS Lowered and Turned Away from Traffic



9. For detours, locate PCMS far enough in advance of route decision points to allow road users to perform necessary lane changes or turns to access the alternate route.

10. PCMS should be located away from existing or temporary regulatory, guide, warning or other critical signs according to Table 2, below:

Table 2 – PCMS Spacing Table Roadway Type Posted Speed (mph) Spacing (ft)*

Freeways 1000Non-Freeway,

Rural Highway 700

Non-Freeway,High-Speed 45 – 55 500

Urban Arterials 30 – 40 350Urban, Low-Speed < 30 100

* Consider increased spacing on multi-lane roads.

11. Locate PCMS away from high driver workload areas (e.g. busy intersections, ramps, freeway decision points, etc. [6]). If ideal sites are limited, place PCMS as far into driver’s cone of vision, as practical, to optimize visibility of the messages.

High driver workload areas can affect PCMS visibility

PCMS too far beyond driver’s cone of vision



12. When multiple PCMS are needed, place them on the same side of the roadway, and separate them by a minimum distance of:

1,000 feet on freeways and expressways 500 feet on all other roadways

Do not install temporary signing between the two PCMS to preservethe integrity of the complex message sequence.

See Message Exceptions section, for additional guidance in using two PCMS.

13. When possible, place PCMS to minimize visual clutter, and to avoid other roadside features affecting PCMS messages. On multi-lane roads with sufficient median width, PCMS may be placed in the median for additional visibility.

Roadside clutter affecting message

14. Place PCMS on level ground, where practical. Use leveling jacks to plumb the PCMS. Rotate PCMS panel face 5-10 degrees toward the roadway to improve legibility [7].

Rotate sign to improve legibility



Sight Distance & Visibility Horizontal and vertical curves, foliage, buildings, or other roadside features may hide a PCMS. The PCMS may need to be located further from the decision point to give motorists enough time to read the messages.

NOTE: PCMS message using 18 inch characters should be legible from 600 feet (min.) at night and 800 feet (min.) during daylight conditions.

Mini or Truck-mounted PCMS should be legible from 650 ft (min.) under daylight or nighttime conditions.

When displaying messages, the bottom of the panel shall be a minimum of 7feet above the roadway in urban areas, and 5 feet above the roadway in rural areas, measured at the edge of the nearest traffic lane.

Proper height provides maximum message visibility After the PCMS has been positioned, with the panel at the proper height and rotated to face traffic, verify the PCMS is unobstructed and the messages can be read from the distances shown above.

MESSAGES The primary purpose of a PCMS is to provide traffic with timely information to facilitate safe movement through the area or work zone.

Display A complete PCMS “Message” is made of two individual, alternating messages. Each individual message is known as a “Phase” or “Panel”.Each phase should be displayed for at least 2 seconds. Complex phases may take longer to process and understand [6]. The total display time for both phases should be no greater than 8 seconds.Drivers traveling at the posted speed should be able to read the entire message at least twice – allowing time to read the message, process it, and take an appropriate action.A PCMS message shall conform to the following:

A maximum of 3 lines per phase.A maximum of 8 characters per line.A maximum of 2 phases (panels) per complete message unless stated otherwise in Message Exceptions.

In developing a message for a PCMS, use the following best practices:Each phase contains an independent piece of information and can beunderstood on its own.Use all upper-case letters, and center justify each line.If using only one phase, display the phase continuously. Avoid flashing the same phase repeatedly.Do not use animation, rapid flashing, dissolving, exploding, horizontal or vertical scrolling, or other techniques for displaying phases.Requirements for character heights and number of message lines can be found in Table 1.Characters shall have a height-to-width ration of 1.4:1 (e.g. 5x7 character matrix).Spacing between characters in a word shall be 25% – 40% of thecharacter height. Spacing between words in a message shall be 75%– 100% of the character height. Spacing between lines shall be 50%– 75% of the character height.



A PCMS may be used to display arrows and chevrons to simulate a sequential arrow board. Do not combine arrows/chevrons and text on the same phase. Arrows and chevrons used on a PCMS must comply with the MUTCD.

Symbols and Graphics Messages shall be displayed in amber color (590 nanometers (nominal) wavelength) and use upper-case letters and numbers unless stated otherwise, below.

Newer PCMS technologies allow graphical displays that duplicate many standard signs or sign legends – including route shields and other common sign symbols with no apparent loss of resolution or recognition when compared to a static version of the same sign. PCMS having this ability are known as, “full matrix” signs, many of which have the ability to display messages/graphics in full color. See Table 2A-5 in the MUTCD for a list of common uses of sign color.

Route shields and common sign symbols (e.g. “Flagger Ahead” symbol) shall only be displayed if they can duplicate exactly the standard sign symbol in the correct color(s), as shown in the FHWA Standard Highway Signs (SHS) and ODOT Sign Policy and Guidelines. Information on displaying symbols on a PCMS is given in Chapter 2L of the MUTCD.

NOTE: A PCMS shall not display animation, rapid flashing, dissolving, exploding, scrolling, or other graphic elements that distracts road users.

Message Content PCMS shall only display traffic operational, regulatory, warning, and guidance information, and shall not display advertising messages on a PCMS or its supports. A PCMS should be used to supplement conventional signing and pavement markings, not substitute for them.

The message should be as brief as practical and should contain three thoughts – with each thought preferably shown on its own line:

1. The problem or situation that the road user will encounter.2. The location or distance to or the timing of occurrence.3. The recommended driver action.

For Oregon State highways, advance notification of extended road or lane closures shall be limited to two weeks (max.) before the closure takes place [6], unless otherwise shown in a Traffic Control Plan; or, as directed by an ODOT Region Traffic Engineer/Manager, ODOT Construction Project Manager, District Manager, or their representative.



Avoid displaying messages that could adversely impact a facility operated or maintained by another jurisdiction. Contact the affected agency and have the agency provide their approval in writing before displaying the message.

If an emergency action plan or other interagency agreement exists regarding rerouting or detouring traffic, follow the procedures within that plan or agreement.

PCMS shall not be used to display the following types of messages:Test messagesPublic Service Announcements (PSA)“Amber Alerts”Messages that conflict with Highway Advisory Radio (HAR) broadcasts in the area.

Avoid repeating-line messages – where a portion of the message (e.g. the first line, or first two lines) is held constant between the two phases, while the remaining line(s) alternates two different pieces of information.

With Repeating Lines Without Repeating Lines

Research [8][9] has shown that while driver comprehension may not be affected, reading time greatly increases with these types of messages.

When environmental conditions reduce visibility and legibility, or when legibility distances cannot be achieved, consider limiting the message to a single phase.

Rain, fog, smoke, or dust can reduce PCMS legibility

1 11



Credibility Message credibility is an extremely important consideration in properly operating a PCMS. Messages must provide timely, reliable, accurate, and relevant information.

Messages should avoid using generic ‘signal’ words – DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION, etc. Research [7] indicates these types of words may not be interpreted as intended, and often do not affect motorist driving patterns or behaviors.

Many factors reduce PCMS credibility [10], including information that is:

Inaccurate – Messages do not reflect current roadway conditions (e.g. warning of Flaggers ahead when no flagging work is being conducted).Outdated – Poorly timed PCMS messages impair their effectiveness (e.g. Ramp closure warnings for a ramp that reopened one week ago).Irrelevant – Messages displayed on mainline for a distant side road location (e.g. PCMS message displayed on a freeway for a local street paving operation that makes no impact to freeway traffic).Repetitive – Displaying the same, generic message for 2 continuous weeks or more in a high-traffic, urban area. Motorists will likely begin to ignore the message, rendering the PCMS ineffective.Poorly Designed – Poorly structured, misspelled, overly-abbreviated, slang messages result in confusion and ineffectiveness (e.g. “TK NXT EXT 201A – RD CLOSD AHD”).Obvious – Displaying messages that describe a condition already apparent to drivers (e.g. Displaying, “EXPECT DELAYS” to three lanes of bumper-to-bumper traffic).



Trivial – “USE CAUTION”, “SLOW”, even “ROAD WORKAHEAD” on a PCMS quickly become ignored by drivers, forcing PCMS to lose their effectiveness in changing driver behavior.

Avoid displaying overly simplistic messages that add little value to other signs or devices used in the work zone. Provide drivers with clear reasons for focusing their attention and changing their driving behaviors as they enter and drive through the work zone – e.g. “WORKERS IN ROAD” or “LANE NARROWS”.



Standard Messages Motorists need more time to read unusual or complex messages – specific road names, dates, times, etc. Being able to quickly read and process amessage results in faster driver response times. Standard messages should be used wherever practical [7][10]. See Appendix A for a variety of StandardMessages.

Non-Standard Messages If the Standard Messages from Appendix A are not adequate for a given condition or application, a custom message may be developed.On state highways, if a custom, non-standard message is needed, the message shall be approved by an ODOT Region Traffic Engineer/Manager, ODOT Construction Project Manager, District Manager, or their representative, where applicable.Use the PCMS Message Worksheet in Appendix B to plan the message[11]. Following approval, store the Message Worksheet with the PCMS.Consider the following factors when creating a custom message:

1. Keep the message simple, brief, legible, and clear. An effective message provides adequate information to drivers. Ineffective messages result in frustration, confusion, even decreased safety.Messages that are too short, vague or generic may cause drivers to:

Drive in a manner different than intendedMisinterpret the messageBecome confused, angry, frustrated, even violentIgnore the message completely

Too much information – overly complex, 3 or more phases, etc. – may cause drivers to:

Not be able to read entire messageBecome overly distracted by the message trying to read it allIgnore the message.

Keep messages concise. Motorists can only process a limited amount of information in a given amount of time. Research [12] suggests the maximum number of words in a message, including both phases, should not exceed:

8 words on roads with a posted speed of 55 mph and less7 words on freeways



2. Messages should address the following items:a. Problem – e.g. Left lane is closed, detour is aheadb. Location – e.g. Lane closure in 1 mile, drivers use Exit 214 for

detour c. Time – e.g. Closures occur Tuesday – Friday, 8 p.m. – 6 a.m. d. Action – e.g. Drivers must exit and prepare to stop

The above list is generally in order of importance. Choose the most important information to display – given the circumstances, message size limit, and desired driver response.

Add an attention statement if the message is being directed at a specific group of drivers or vehicle classification (e.g. Through-traffic; or, All trucks).

In the example of an approaching low bridge, a problem statement is needed, plus a height restriction announcement and the detour route(s).A PCMS message might look like the following:

NOTE: If a height limit measurement includes 10” or 11”, the message may be rounded down to 9” to save on character needs.If the roadway is closed to all vehicles, the message may become:

3. Avoid using unnecessary words – articles of speech (a, an, the) unless the intent of the message becomes unclear without them.

4. Avoid using abbreviations, when possible.a. If necessary, follow guidance in the Standard Abbreviation

section below.

1

1



b. For abbreviations not listed, create an abbreviation using the following techniques:

i. By removing one or more vowels – commonly near the end of the word:“EXIT” may become, “EXT”“CANYON” may become, “CANYN”“SEASIDE” may become, “SEASID” or “SEASD”

ii. If necessary, a combination of vowels and extra consonants may be deleted:“WILLAMETTE” might become, “WILLAMET”

iii. A combination of removing vowels and letters from the end of a word until it is the desired length.“OVERWEIGHT” may become, “OVRWEIGH”

Research [7] shows truncated abbreviations are easier to recognize and comprehend than conventional or contracted abbreviations.Example: EMERGENCY: “EMERGENC” may be more recognizable than, “EMERGNC” or, “EMRGNCY”Example: SHOULDER: “SHOULDR” may be more recognizable than, “SHLDR” or “SHLDER”

c. Do not use a period with abbreviations.

5. Messages should be made of meaningful pieces of informationunderstood as independent phases.

a. A single phase display is preferred.b. Use a maximum of two phases for a given message.c. Split message components where it makes the most sense.

AVOID PREFERRED

d. Reduce the message length or complexity during heavy traffic volumes, bad weather, or other demanding driving environments.

e. Use two signs for complex or longer messages.

1 1



6. Do not display expected, unessential, or implied actions or information [7]. For example:

a. Drivers will expect to have to merge right when they read:

Displaying, “TRAFFIC MERGE RIGHT” on the second panel may be used; but, a description of the work activity, condition, or hazard on the second phase may be more useful to drivers:

b. “FOLLOW DETOUR” uses fewer words than, “FOLLOW DETOUR ROUTE” to display the same critical information.

c. “FLAGGER AHEAD” is more critical than, “EXPECT DELAYS”, and still implies potential delays.

Message Exceptions Under limited conditions, a message may be composed of three phases. The following represent cases where a third phase may be displayed on a single PCMS:

Emergency situationsCases of inclement weatherFor regulatory snow zone messages(See Appendix A: Snow and Ice – Regulatory Conditions)(OAR 734-17-0015, OAR 734-17-0025)

Locations with limited right of way precluding placement of a second PCMSLack of PCMS availabilityOther site restrictions or conditions, when approved by an ODOT Region Traffic Engineer/Manager, ODOT Construction Project Manager, District Manager, or their representative.

Sight distance to the PCMS should be maximized under these conditions to provide drivers with the best chance of reading all three phases.

See Appendix A – Standard Messages for example messages that may provide useful alternatives to using a third phase.

In some instances, a third phase may be needed to convey additional information. If a third phase is needed, a second PCMS should be used.

If two PCMS are needed, set up both PCMS, program the three desired phases and test the message sequence. Then, display the two PCMS to traffic, as timely as practical.

If a second PCMS is added to provide additional information to an existing operating PCMS, set up, program and test the second PCMS. Then, display the second PCMS message to traffic.

If a second PCMS is used, the message on the additional PCMS does not need to repeat any part of the first PCMS message. If two PCMS are available, one static (unchanging) phase should be displayed on the first PCMS. The second PCMS should be used to display the second and third phases.

In choosing to use longer PCMS messages (including adding a second PCMS), it should be noted that research indicates motorists have difficulty comprehending long, complex messages, even when using two PCMS to display the message [12].



Speeds Speed messages on a PCMS should be limited to advisory or warning messages. Speed messages should be used to supplement regulatory posted speed signs, such as:

or

When displaying speed reduction messages [6]:

Provide a reason drivers should slow down, such as:

or

Do not display safety campaign messages on PCMS, such as, “CLICK IT OR TICKET”, “DONT DRINK & DRIVE”, or other public service messages.For extended work (i.e. 1 year or longer), use a PCMS during the first week or two of the project, and after any major condition changes. Use passive traffic controls at other times.Place the first PCMS 500 to 1000 feet upstream from the condition or hazard. The PCMS may be placed before or after the initial advance warning sign (e.g. ROAD WORK AHEAD), but should not block this critical sign, nor have the PCMS messages blocked by it.



Speed Detection Feature on PCMS Speed detection devices can be fitted onto a PCMS and used to provide vehicle speed information on the display. A PCMS used to display instantaneous vehicle speeds can be used for a wide range of conditions –roadside hazards, adverse weather conditions, traffic incidents, pavement condition, heavy congestion, etc. [13]. A PCMS with this feature can encourage speed limit compliance and reduce the speed of vehicles through a work zone. Speed zone compliance is increased when a reason for the reduced speed is displayed on the PCMS [14].

When displaying approach speeds:

Display the PCMS in conjunction with a Speed Limit sign.Use the following message:

Consider the following before using a PCMS with speed detection capability:

If used for more than 4 weeks, periodic police enforcement should be arranged to reinforce and maintain the effectiveness of the PCMS.Check the radar each time the PCMS is set up. Calibrate and adjust, as necessary, to ensure accuracy.The radar should be aimed to measure the speeds of vehicles traveling in the fastest moving lane, at no more than 10 seconds of distance upstream from the PCMS location.On roadways with posted speeds of 50 mph or greater, speeds of vehicles traveling more than 25 mph over the speed limit should not be displayed on the PCMS.In work zones, the first PCMS should be positioned 500 to 1000 feet upstream of the hazard, so drivers have time to read and interpret the message, and react before reaching the hazard.



Locations and Distances Often times, using a specific distance to indicate an approaching condition or hazard provides better information than the more generic, “AHEAD”. If using distances in a message, use the following practices:

MILESFor distances beyond 1/4 mile, it is more practical to use “MILES” to describe the distance. Drivers struggle determining 1500, 2000 or more feet – and will try to convert it to miles anyway. Fractions – 1/4 or 1/2 should be used.Distances in miles may be written as, “MILE” (singular), “MILES”, or the abbreviation, “MI”Mile points (MP), while understood by truck drivers and law enforcement agencies, may not be clear to public traffic. Therefore, distances in miles to/from closure points, specific locations or other landmarks should be used in messages instead of references to mile points.

FEETDistances less than 1/4 mile should be shown in feet, and rounded to the nearest 100 feet – e.g. “USE DETOUR 1000 FT”A distance in feet may be written as, “FEET” or abbreviated as, “FT”If using feet to describe smaller dimensions (e.g. lane widths), it is most common to use the abbreviation, “FT”“11 FT / LANES / NEXT MI”, versus writing it out completely (e.g. “11 FOOT / LANES / NEXT MI”).



EXITSIf Exit numbers or proper names for places are shown on existing guide signs before a PCMS, or just beyond it, the Exit number or place name (e.g. Medford, Crater Lake, Mt. Hood) should be used, when practical.

Use Exit numbers on interstate highways for consistency and to meet driver expectations.For multiple, consecutive exits less than 1 mile apart, or where multiple “Exit XXX” signs can be seen in the same field of vision, consider using, “NEXT EXIT”, “2ND EXIT”, etc. instead of distances or Exit numbers.If displaying place names, try to use the same name as shown on existing guide signs in the vicinity of the PCMS.Avoid using local nicknames or adjacent landmarks, unless the name is shown elsewhere on other existing guide signs in the area.Unfamiliar motorists will have difficulty understanding local street and highway names (e.g. ‘McLaughlin Blvd.’, ‘Sunset Hwy’, etc.), and local landmarks or bridges (e.g. ‘The Waterfront’, ‘Marquam Bridge’, etc.).



Times, Days and Dates Research shows displaying time, day, and date information approaches driverinformation processing limits [12][15]. Time, day and date messages should be used sparingly.

Regardless of the format, over 25% of drivers viewing time/date information will be unable to, or will incorrectly, determine if the work activity will affect their trip.

If time, days, or dates are needed in a PCMS message, consider the following:

Do not display the Date, Day, and Time information across two-phases.

DAYSFor day ranges within the current week, or the following week, days of the week may be displayed as:- Monday: MON - Friday: FRI- Tuesday: TUE or TUES - Saturday:SAT- Wednesday: WED - Sunday: SUN- Thursday: THU, THUR, or THURSDay ranges may be displayed using a hyphen. “THRU” or “THROUGH” is not necessary – e.g. “TUE-THUR”, “WED-SAT”.“NITE” may be used in place of, “NIGHT”.“WEEKEND” may be used if the event or condition begins on Saturday morning and ends Sunday evening.

DATESTypically, only Month and Day are needed. Do not display the year in the date, unless condition spans multiple years.For date ranges in the same month:

o Use three-letter month abbreviations – “APR”, “SEP”, “JAN”o Use the Month only once in the message: “JUL 8-12”

Avoid displaying the month as a number (e.g. April as, “4”), unless the date range spans multiple months, and no other options are available.If using numbers for Months, display without leading “0”. Example:July 30-Aug 9 becomes, “7/30-8/9”Avoid using, “FOR 1 WEEK” or similar messages as the start and end dates are ambiguous.



TIMESUse Time messages sparingly.Use standard 12-hour format for time, using “AM” and “PM”.

EXAMPLES1. A road is being closed next week. The following might be posted

the weekend before and left in place until the end of the shift on Friday:

2. If the closure is two weeks away, the message might read:

NOTE: “JUL12-14” with no space between “JUL” and “12-14” is still legible on a PCMS due to the spacing between individual characters on the message board and the mix of alpha and numeric characters.

3. If the closure is within July and August, for a limited time, and uses a detour, the message may read:

This PCMS would be used to supplement other temporary closure and detour signing.

4. If the detour is in effect between 7am and 7pm, the message might read:

12-14

7/31-8/2

7/31-8/2

5 7

5 -7



Security A high level of security should be exercised when operating a PCMS.Authorized personnel are responsible for the messages displayed and for the equipment itself.

Access to the control console and electronics must be controlled by authorized personnel only. The control console shall include a locking lid and remain locked when not being serviced by authorized personnel.

Password protection should be utilized to avoid unauthorized access to the control panel. The password shall be changed from the factory default and shall not be posted in the cabinet. Any tampering or vandalism should be reported immediately to the authorities.

Standard Abbreviations Due to limitations in the number of characters used in a line (8 characters) or phase (3 lines) of a PCMS message, abbreviations may be necessary.

If abbreviating, use the abbreviations in Table 3 – Standard Abbreviations.For additional abbreviations, see Section 1A.15 of the MUTCD.

If abbreviating word messages see Table 4 for a list of Prompt Words that should precede or follow the abbreviation.

Do not use the abbreviations shown in Table 5 as they are commonly misinterpreted by road users.

September 2018 Appendix A – Standardized Messages

APPENDIX A – STANDARDIZED MESSAGES The following list of standardized messages may be used for a variety of temporary work zone activities, maintenance operations, traffic incidents, weather conditions, or special events. The list of messages below is not all-inclusive. Messages shown are meant as examples of possible phases and combinations of phases used to develop a complete, informational, and valuable PCMS message.

Message Details

For the message examples below, one or two phases may be used in developing the PCMS message. Phases from different examples may be combined to meet specific needs.If using only one phase for the message, DO NOT FLASH the message.For special events or specific activities, custom PCMS messages should be created using the guidelines in this document. The “/” (slashes) in each message indicates the separation between lines on the phase, and are not part of the message.Center each line of the message on the panel.

Programming Messages

Each line can have up to 8 characters.For conditions in the right, left, or center lane, only one location is shown. Use RIGHT, LEFT, CENTER or the appropriate abbreviation, as needed.“XXX” is commonly used to signify numbers that must be filled in at the time of placement and use.If an Exit number (XXX) is known, the message, “USE / EXIT / XXX” may be substituted for, “USE / NEXT / EXIT” – especially if the PCMS is placed more than 2 miles from the exit.For posted speeds 45 MPH or higher, minimize wording to promote faster read/response times for drivers.Avoid using abbreviations. If necessary, use only those in Table 3 or Table 4.Periods are not needed for abbreviations.
