I.NEED AND PURPOSE OF MANUAL 32 pie primary function of City streets is to provide for the movement of people nd goods from place to place.A secondary use of the street right-of-way is to provide for the placement of public utilities.In order to serve both functions, streets and utilities must be constructed and maintained. consequently construction and maintenance work must be coordinated with traf- fic movement to provide optimum safety and convenience to the motorist, pede- strian and workman. The purpose of this manual is to establish basic uniform requirements for traf- fic control in construction and maintenance areas.This manual prescribes specific standards for the manufacture, application and maintenance of temp- orary traffic control devices.Typical application of these devices is illu- strated herein.Application of these devices to other situations shall be handled in a similar manner consistent with the methods illustrated. These requirements, standards and methods of application conform to the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. III.PURPOSE OF BARRICADING AND CHANNELIZATION The purpose of barricading and channelization is to: A.Protect the motoring public. B.Protect pedestrians and workmen. C.Provide a safe orderly flow of traffic and reduce congestion. D.Maintain good public relations. IV.PROCEDURE FOR OBTAINING PERMISSION TO RESTRICT CITY STREETS ALL PERSONS, CONTRACTORS, UTILITIES AND OTHER AGENCIES SHALL OBTAIN PER- MISSION TO RESTRICT (PARTIAL OR COMPLETE) ALL STREETS, SIDEWALKS, AND ALLEYS IN THE CITY OF APACHE JUNCTION. Permission to restrict all streets, sidewalks, and alleys shall conform with Section V of this manual.Any deviations, except during emergency conditions, must have prior approval. Permission to restrict a street, sidewalk, or alley for construction, utility or maintenance purposes, shall be requested and approved through the Engineering Division, with concurrence of the Fire Department (982- 3221) and Police Department (982-8260).All other requests (parades, block parties, etc.) shall be requested and approved through the Police Department with notification to the Fire Department. 24 -hour advance notice is required for partial closures on major and collector streets.A minimum of 72 -hours advance notice will be required for review for complete closures of major and collector streets. If detours are required, plans shall be required. V.GENERAL TRAFFIC REGULATIONS ALL TRAFFIC ON ALL STREETS, SIDEWALKS AND ALLEYS SHALL BE REGULATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS MANUAL. UNLESS OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR IN THE "SPECIAL TRAFFIC REGULATIONS" LISTED ON THE PROJECT PLAN OR CITY PERMIT, OR IF APPLICABLE BY PRIOR APPROVAL OF TEE ENGINEERING DIVISION OR DURING EMERGENCY CONDITIONS, THE FOLLOWING ARE MINIMUM TRAFFIC CONTROL REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL TRAFFIC RESTRICTIONS: A.During the following PEAK TRAFFIC HOURS, traffic restrictions are not permitted at signalized intersections or on Major or Collector streets having two or more through -traffic lanes in any one direction (multiple lanes) without the employment of off -duty uniformed police officers: 1.7 to 8:30 a.m. and 4 to 6:00 p.m., weekdays. 2.9 to 10:00 a.m. Saturday near "Major Shopping Centers".

B.During OFF-PEAK TRAFFIC HOURS, when one traffic lane is restricted at multiple -lane signalized intersections with left -turn channels, the left turn channels with special channelization shall be used to provide a minimum of four traffic -through lanes (two lanes for each direction.) (See Figures 16 and 17.) C.Except as provided for in Items A and B above, a MINIMUM OF TWO TRAFFIC LANES (one in each direction) shall be maintained open to traffic on all Major and Collector streets at all times. D.Local streets may be closed except for local access when construction or maintenance requires. E.Local access shall be maintained to all properties on all streets (Major Collector and Local) at all possible times.When local access cannot be maintained, the contractor, utility, or other agency shall notify the affected property owner, resident or tenant, a minimum of 24 -hours in advance and restore access as soon as possible. F.Access to fire stations, hospitals and police stations shall be main- tained at all times.When access restrictions are necessary, the con- tractor, utility or other agency shall coordinate such access restric- tions with the responsible person in charge of the affected fire station, hospital or police station. EXISTING TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES A.Traffic signs The contractor, utility or other agency shall maintain all existing STOP, YIELD, and street -name signs, verifying they are erect, clean and in full view of the intended traffic at all times.If these signs interfere with construction, the contractor, utility or other agency shall temporarily relocate the signs to allow construction, but still in full view of the intended traffic. Other existing signs still applicable shall also be maintained erect, clean, and in full view of the intended traffic at all times.If these signs interfere with construction, the contractor, utility or other agen- cy shall temporarily relocate the signs to allow construction, but still in full view of the intended traffic. Other existing signs still applicable shall also be maintained erect, clean and in full view of the intended traffic by the contractor, utility or other agency at all times.Existing signs, not applicable, shall be removed by the contractor, utility or other agency without damage, and salvaged on the adjacent property line.The ENGINEERING DIVISION SHALL BE NOTIFIED OF ALL SIGN REMOVALS. B.Traffic Signals The contractor, utility or other agency shall maintain all existing traffic signal equipment, except vehicle detector sensing devices (when necessary) fully operational in the existing locations and in full view of the intended traffic at all times unless otherwise specified in this Manual or in the project plans specifications or City permit requirements. When any traffic signal equipment is damaged, including ve- hicle -sensing devices, the contractor, utility, or other agency shall make arrangements to correct the damage at their expense, in a manner acceptable to the Engineering Division. VII.TEMPORARY TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES Temporary traffic control devices are used to delineate hazards, alert and guide motorists and to protect pedestrians and workmen.They fall into 4 basic categories:(1) Signs (2) Barricades and Channelizing Devices (3) High Level Warning Devices, and (4) Flagmen. THE CONTRACTOR, UTILITY OR OTHER AGENCY SHALL PROVIDE AND MAINTAIN ALL NECESSARY TEMPORARY TRAFFIV CONTROL DEVICES, EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED IN THIS MANUAL, TO PROTECT AND GUIDE VEHICLES AND PEDESTRIANS DURING TRAFFIC RESTRICTIONS. Temporary traffic control devices shall be installed prior to the start of all restrictions.They shall be properly maintained and/or operated during the time such restrictions exist.They shall be kept clean and fresh -appearing at all times.They shall remain in place only as long as they are needed and shall be removed immediately thereafter.Where operations are performed in stages, there shall be in place only those devices that apply to the restrictions present.All signs that do not apply to the restricted conditions shall be removed, covered or turned by the contractor, utility or other agency so as not be readable by oncoming traffic. CHANNELIZATION, INCLUDING "KEEP RIGHT" SIGNS SHALL BE PROVIDED WHENEVER TRAFFIC IS MOVED ACROSS THE STREET CENTER LINE, THE EXISTING CENTER LINE IS OBLITERATED, OR OPPOSING TRAFFIC IS MAINTAINED IN OTHER THAN THE NORMAL TRAFFIC LANES. Where existing or new signing and/or pavement markings must be installed or replaced, the necessary temporary traffic control devices shall be provided and maintained by the contractor, utility or other agency until such permanent work is completed.

A.Signs Signs are a very important part of temporary traffic control.Signs are use to alert, advise and guide the motorist.Temporary traffic control signs are necessary in advance of traffic restrictions and whenever a motorist has to change his path of travel.It is especially important to use warning sig well in advance of traffic restrictions. Temporary traffic control signs fall into the same three major categories as do other traffic signs, namely Regulatory signs, Warning signs, and Guide signs.Many signs normally used elsewhere also find application for signing construction and maintenance operations.They are included in this manual. Each standard sign shall be displayed only for the specific purpose prescrib( for in this manual and as indicated by the sign legend.Uniformity of signs and sign usage is mandatory so that similar conditions will always be marked with the same type of signs whenever the condition occurs.In this manner, the motorist becomes conditioned to the required action indicated by signs. The less variation in signs, the fewer responses the motorist must learn. Temporary traffic control signs for construction and maintenance operations follow the basic standards for all traffic signs as to shape.Warning and Guide signs in construction and maintenance areas shall have a black legend on an orange background.Color for other signs shall follow the standards set by the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. Standard minimum sign sizes and shapes are shown in the illustrations in the text.The size and stroke of the legend or symbol shall be the largest poss- ible permitted by the size and design of the sign consistent with good legibi lity. The dimensions of signs shown herein are for standard minimum sizes, which may be increased when necessary for greater legibility or emphasis.Devia- tions from standard sizes herein shall be in six-inch increments. All warning signs, change of direction signs ("Keep Right", "Keep Left"), "Street", "Sidewalk" or "Alley Closed" signs and "Detour" signs used during hours of darkness shall be equipped with approved operating barricade warn- ing lights. Backs of signs to two directions of traffic shall have a minimum application of 100 square inches of orange weatherproof reflectorized sheeting.The reflectorized sheeting shall be placed in strips not less than 3 inches wide along each outer edge of the sign. All signs shall be mounted on suitable supports with the bottom a minimum of 12 inches above the ground.Barricades, vertical panel channelizing devices and flag -type high-level warning devices are acceptable sign sup- ports.When flag -type high-level warning devices are used as sign sup- ports, they shall be provided in addition to those required in Part C., Item I, of this section. Signs shall be placed in positions where they will convey their message most effectively.Placement must therefore be accomodated to street design and alignment.Signs shall be so placed that the motorist will have adequate time for response. As a general rule, signs shall be located on the right side of the street when right -lane traffic is restricted and on the center line or median when left -lane traffic is restricted.Where special emphasis is required and where more than one lane of traffic in any one direction is affected, dual signs shall be provided approximately opposite each other. For maximum mobility on certain types of maintenance operations, large signs may be effectively mounted on a vehicle stationed in advance of the work or moving along with it.This may be the working vehicle it- self, as in the case of crack and chip sealing or pavement marking equip- ment, or a vehicle provided expressly for this purpose.These mobile sign displays may be mounted on a trailer, may be provided with self- contained electric power units for flashers and lights, or may be mounted on a regular maintenance vehicle. 1.Regulatory Signs Regulatory signs impose legal obligations or restrictions on all traffic. It is therefore required that their use be approved by the Engineering Division. The contractor,utility or other agency shall furnish all required regu- latory signs as indicated in Figures 1 and 2. "No Left Turn" signs shall be placed with a minimum of two (one on the near side and one on the far side of the intersection) for each direction of traffic affected. Mandatory turn signs shall be placed with a minimum of two (one in ad- vance and one at the intersection) for each direction of traffic affec- ted. The "Construction Zone Speed Limit" signs shall be placed with a minimum of one in advance of construction and a minimum of three signs per one- half mile for each direction of traffic affected.The "Speed Limit 15" sign is used where the existing pavement has been removed, traffic is being maintained on temporary detour roads, on unpaved shoulders or on 6 a minimum lelizing sign sup- Lgn sup- 'art C., message :reet m will :he street median ; required affected, , large lce of :le it- ing equip- nobile self- )e mounted L traffic. leering red regu- on the direction in ad- : affec- minimum ,er one- 'mit 15" !ic is ; or on STOP RI -1 30". 30" R 3-2 24%24' ONE WAY +ming R6-2 (LEFT) 18 52 4 ' 1 11 ONLY P3-5 ILEF T1 18'524' DO NOT PASS R4.1 18 12 4 ' R1-2 30 .30 i30 R3 -I 24%24' 6rTiEl WAY P6-2 (RIGHT) 16 •124 - MrsIL.Y R3-5 (RIGHT) We 24" PASS WITH CARE R4 •I 10 .524" R5.1 24%24 .

Both "Speed Limit" signs shall always be used with the "Construction Zone" signs above when reducing speed limits in the construction area.During the times construction zone speed limits are in effect, the pre-existing speed limit signs shall be covered by the contractor. REGULATORY SIGNS PROVIDED BY THE CONTRACTOR,, UTILITY OR OTHER AGENCY ARE ILLU- STRATED IN FIGURES 1 and 2. The "Street Closed to Thru Traffic" signs shall be used for all complete clo- sures of Major and Collector streets.When in use, the proper "Detour Arrow" and other detour instructions shall be displayed."Street Closed Ahead" and "Detour Ahead" signs shall be used a minimum of 300 feet and 600 feet respect- ively in advance of all Major and Collector street closures on unlighted or "rural type" streets. The "Street Closed Local Traffic Only" sign shall be used for all local street closures. The "Alley Closed" sign shall be used for all alley closures. The "Detour" sign with arrow shall be used to mark detour routes when required by the Engineering Division. "Keep Right" (Left) signs shall be used at or near the start of all channeliza tion except where the "Double Arrow" warning sign is used.The "Keep Right" sign shall be used on both sides of all intersections where temporary center line channelization is required. The "Sidewalk Closed" signs and "Pedestrians Prohibited" signs shall be used for walkway closures. 2.Warning Signs Warning signs are used to notify motorists of specific hazards or restrictions in construction and maintenance areas.Within construction zones, there may be a variety of temporary roadway facilities.Pavement width may be reduced, open excavation may be present in or near the street, or travel across an unpaved section may be required.Motorists must be properly alerted to hazards or restrictions in advance so that they will have adequate time to react safely to the situation. WARNING SIGNS ARE ILLUSTRATED IN FIGURES 3 and 4. Warning signs used in construction and maintenance areas shall be diamond- shaped, except as shown in the warning sign illustrations.They shall have a black legend and/or symbol on an orange background.The warning signs illu- strated Shall be used for only those situations indicated by their legend or symbol.9 W20-5 IMILNCENTERI 36%36 .

Guide signs used in construction and maintenance are generally rectangular. They shall have a black legend on an orange background. Guide signs most frequently used are the "Detour" signs and "Arrows" shown with the "Street Closed" signs in Figure 2.The "Detour" signs and "Detour Instructions" are incorporated into the design of the "Street Closed to Thru Traffic" sign. When required, the contractor, utility or other agency shall provide the separate "Detour" sign wil the proper arrow at locations along a specific detour route as directed by the Engineering Division.When required, detail- ed detour route instructions and/or State and Federal route symbols shall also be provided and attached to the detour signs. B.Barricades and Channelizing Devices Barricades and channelizing devices are the most important part of tempor- ary traffic control in construction and maintenance areas.Barricades are used to delineate all temporary hazards in the public right-of-way. Channelizing devices are used to guide motorists and pedestrians when hazards are present in streets, sidewalks, or alleys. Barricades and channelizing devices are also used to protect workmen when working in the street.They should be constructed in a substantial manner to protect workmen.However, their construction should not be such that they inflict severe damage to vehicles when hit. Barricades and channelizing devices shall be kep clean and fresh appearing at all times. Typical uniform applications of barricades and channelizing devices are shown in the barricading illustrations included in this manual.Situations not illustrated shall be dealt with in conformance with the general methods set forth. 1.Barricades Barricades shall be constructed in three types: Type I, Type II and Type III.(See Figure 5.) Markings for barricade panels shall be alternate orange and white stripes (sloping downward at an angle of 45 degrees in the direction traffic is to pass).Both stripes (orange and white) on all barri- cade panels shall be reflectorized with smooth surface weatherproof reflectorized sheeting. 12 provide infor- rectangular. rrows" shown s' and "Detour Closed to rovide the a specific quired, detail- mbols shall t of tempor- rricades t -of -way. ns when prkmen when atial manner such that • 3h appearing ;ices are ,Situations leral methods Te II and d white direction 11 barri- therproof TYPE II BARRICADE HIGH LEVEL 2 'MIN.STRIPED PANELS 13.TO 12" 141614 -FRONT AND woe or BARRICADES 4 .MIN.STRIPED PANELS eh, le 11ICI4 romper A ND •eacK OF BARRICADE 3 .16%I 6 • FLAGS MINIMUM 45• 1 Se MIN 2 .HIM STRIPED FRONT AND BACK OF PANEL B .TO I2 .NIGH a 5. 31 woe TYPE I BARRICADE TYPE BARRICADE 24 STRIPED PANELS e WIDE •FRONT AND BACK 211- • IS MIN VERTICAL PANEL WARNING DEVICE CHANNELIZING DEVICES TRAFFIC CONES BARRICADES AND CHANNELIZING DEVICES 13 rI01./KE 5 All barricades shall be constructed of suitable material to the dimensions shown in Figure 5.Barricade supports shall be substantial and white in color.

Type I and Type It barricades are used where traffic is maintained through construction and maintenance areas.Type I barricades are used on City streets.Type It barricades are used on freeways and expressways. Type II can be used in lieu of Type I. Type II barricades are used to delineate hazards in or near the street or sidewalk, channel traffic, close part of a street and close sidewalks and alleys.When used to close part of a street, they should be placed not more than 5 feet apart.When used to delineate hazards parallel to traffic, they should be placed not more than 75 feet apart. Type II barricades used to channel traffic shall be placed on a taper with barricades spacing not more than 30 feet.The taper should not be less than one foot of street width for each 10 feet of street length.Addi- tional taper length is required for higher speeds.The taper length, in feet, should be equal to the speed limit times the width of street surface to be closed.Tapers should be 100 feet minimum on a residential street, and from 200 - 500 feet on Collector or Major streets. Type III barricades are used for complete street closures of Major and Collector streets.They shall be placed with a minimum of one on each side of the "Street Closed to Thru Traffic" sign and one in the center of the back of the sign.Additional Type III barricades shall be used as required to close the street to through traffic. All barricades used in the right-of-way during hours of darkness shall have an approved barricade warning light attached and in operation.The warning light shall be mounted above the top panel on the end of the barri- cade closest to traffic. 14 dimensions white in max rig one rig two 2ctory. ised. led through on City is. street ! placed illel to taper with be less .Addi- !ngth, in !et surface d street, or and n each cetlter . e used shall on.The the bayri- ••• TO STOP TR A FFIC TR A rric PROCEED TO ALERT AND SLOW TR•FFIC FLAGGING PROCEDURES 15 riCuRI 6 Flagmen shall be stationed at a readily visible location in advance of the restriction.Flagman stations shall be marked with a high level warning device."Flagman Ahead" and "Be Prepared to Stop" signs shall be used in advance of each station. During hours of darkness, Flagman stations shall be illuminated.All traffic control devices shall be reflectorized and have barricade warning lights attached as provided for elsewhere in this manual. The contractor, utility or other agency shall provide manual traffic con- trol as required by the City of Apache Junction as specified in this manual. 1.Police Officers OFF -DUTY POLICE OFFICERS SHALL BE EMPLOYED BY THE CONTRACTOR, UTILITY OR OTHER AGENCY, IF SO DETERMINED BY THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS AND/OR THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC SAFETY. VIII.PROTECTION OF PEDESTRIAN WALKWAYS DURING CONSTRUCTION, MAINTENANCE OR DEMOLITION The restriction (partial or complete) of a street, sidewalk, or alley for the performance of work under a building permit shall be subject to the provisions of the 1982 Edition Building Code under Part VIII (Chapter 44) Regulations for Use of Public Streets and Projection Over Public Property as adopted by the City.The restrictions or closure of all pedestrian walkways shall be clearly identified, protected from motor vehicle traffic, and free of pedestrian hazards (holes, debris, dust, mud, etc.).Pedest- rian protection and temporary walkways may utilize any of the traffic con- trol devices, including barricades, cones, signs, etc., approved herein. IX SURVEYORS Pedestrian fatalities account for one of every four traffic fatalities. The nature of urban survey work is potentially hazardous.The surveyor, as a pedestrian in the street, may be obscured from the motorist's vision by the presence of a single car.The higher the traffic volume, the greater is the chance of mishap. Surveying that restricts traffic is not permitted at signalized inter- sections or on Major or Collector streets during the peak traffic hours, except when such work is in areas that are under construction or with the prior approval of the Engineering Division. 16 STREET CL( CONSTRUCT] All Type I other ager ted in Fig less than 2.Barric Barricade ing, the m continuall They shall as specifi. way during tion durin, Barricade I operated, : "Type A" bz Flashing 1..h and steady lights shot Flashing wa minute.Fl 4.0 candela defined in Barricade w except high ing lights incorporati Barricade w. seven (7) Vance of the 21 warning be used in 1.All ade warning raffle con- a this FOR, UTILITY CC WORKS 4AINTENANCE r alley for 2 t to the :hapter 44) ic Property lestrian icle traffic, ).Pedest- :raffic con- td herein. :alities. surveyor, :t's vision the inter- ic hours, r with the STREET CLOSURE PERMITS TO RESTRICT TRAFFIC ON STREETS OTHER THAN THOSE UNI CONSTRUCTION ARE REQUESTED, AS PROVIDED FOR IN SECTION IV OF THIS MANUAL. ,..All Type J, II and III barricades shall have the contractor, utility or I other agency's name placed near the bottom of the lowest panel as illustra ted in Figure 5.The letters shall be black on a white background and not -'less than one inch nor more than two inches in height. 2.Barricade Warning Lights Barricade warning lights are alerting devices to be used for advance warn- ing, the marking of unexpected hazards in the public right-of-way, and to continually warn the motorist that he is traveling in a restricted area. They shall be mounted on all signs, barricades,and channelizing devices, as specified in this manual, when said devices are used in the right-of- way during hours of darkness.Barricade warning lights shall be in opera- tion during hours of darkness. Barricade warning lights, as required in this manual, are portable, batter) operated, lens directed, enclosed flashing lights commonly referred to as "Type A" barricade warning lights and "Type C" Steady Burn Warning Lights, Flashing Warning Lights are to be attached when barricades are used singly, and steady burn lights when used in series.Type A and Type C warning lights should be clearly marked to allow proper placement in daylight hours Flashing warning lights shall have a flash rate of 55 to 75 flashes per minute.Flash duration shall be 10% with a minimum effective intensity at 4.0 candelas.The measurement of flash duration and intensity shall be as defined in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. • Barricade warning lights used on signs, barricades and channelizing devices except high-level warning devices, shall be •bi-directional.Barricade warn- ing lights used on high-level warning devices, shall be uni-directional, incorporating the use of a parabolic reflector for increased intensity. Barricade warning light lenses shall have a minimum effective diameter of seven (7) inches.The color of the light emitted shall be yellow. 17 3.Channelizing Devices Channelizing devices used in the City of Apache Junction are divided into the following basic types: (a)Traffic Cones Traffic cones are effective for daytime channelization of traffic and to delineate minor maintenance areas.Traffic cones are versatile because they will not damage vehicles if hit and can be set up and removed quickly. When traffic cones are used, it is necessary to check them often as they are frequently disturbed by traffic. Traffic cones may be conical or tubular devices generally with square weighted bases.The conical devices shall be a minimum of 18 inches high. The tubular devices shall be a minimum of 28 inches high.(See Figure 5). The predominant color of both devices shall be orange or fluorescent red- orange. Traffic cones are used to channel traffic, divide opposing traffic lanes, divide traffic lanes when two or more lanes are maintained open in the same direction, and delineate minor maintenance operations in the street. When traffic cones are used to divide traffic lanes or delineate minor maintenance operations, cones should be placed not more than 50 feet apart. When traffic cones are used to channel traffic, spacing should not exceed 25 feet and should have a minimum taper of one foot of street width for each 10 feet of street length.Longer tapers are required at higher speeds. The taper length, in feet, should be equal to the speed limit times the width of street surface to be closed. (b)Vertical Panel Channelizing Devices Vertical panel channelizing devices are effective for 24 -hour channelization. When used singly, "Type A" flashing warning lights should be mounted at the top, and when used in series "Type C" steady burn warning lights should be attached.Type A and Type C lights should be clearly labeled to permit correct placement of warning devices during daylight hours.Vertical panel channelizing devices are used in place of traffic cones for channelizations during hours of darkness.They are versatile because they are light -weight and use less street width than other barricades. Markings for all vertical panel channelizing devices shall be alternate four -inch orange and white stripes sloping down at an angle of 45 degrees to the side of which traffic must pass.When used to divide two traffic lanes in the same direction, the stripes shall slope down to the side on which traffic is being diverted.(See Figure 17.)

SURVEYORS WORKING IN THE STREET SHALL WEAR ORANGE OR FLUORESCENT RED -ORANGE VESTS.The use of orange or fluorescent red -orange hats is optional. Pand to Generally, the surveyor will be able to channelize traffic easily because cause advance warning signs, high-level warning devices, and traffic cones will quickly.be adequate protection for most work.The surveyor's work in the street s they normally channels traffic to one side of a traffic lane rather than closing an entire lane.This channel may be made with cones or barricades with a minimum taper of one foot of street width for each 30 feet of street length. An advance warning sign must be placed at the start of each transition facing approaching traffic.The high-level warning device is extremely valuable for survey work as it may be seen over the top of preceding vehicles.THE USE OF THE HIGH-LEVEL WARNING DEVICE IS MANDATORY.A high-level warning device must be used any time an instrument is set up in the street or when lanes,a range pole is set up in a signalized intersection.Typical daytime traffic the same control illustrations are shown in Figures 7 and 8. When surveying work requires restricting a full traffic lane or when restrict- nor ing traffic during hours of darkness, traffic control devices (signs, barri- tt apart.cades, and channelization, etc.) shall be provided as required elsewhere .in this manual for those conditions.exceed for X.BARRICADING ILLUSTRATIONSr speeds. the me fraffic cnannelizacion arm oarricaaing illusurafions on cue following pages are presented to show typical applications of signs, barricades and channelizing devices.

Veftical panel channelizing devices shall be constructed of suitable materi to the dimensions shown in Figure 5.The base and panel support shall be substantial and white in color.The contractor, utility or other agency's name shall be placed on the top of the base.The letters shall be black and not less than one inch nor more than two inches in height. All vertical panel channelizing devices used in the right-of-way during hours of darkness shall have a barricade warning light attached and in operation.The warning light shall be mounted above the marked panel. Vertical panel channelizing devices are used to channel traffic, divide opposing lanes of traffic, divide traffic lanes when two or more lanes are maintained open in the same direction and in place of barricades where spacE is limited. When used in place of barricades to delineate hazards parallel to traffic, they should be placed not more than 50 feet apart.When used to divide opposing lanes of traffic or divide two or more lanes traveling in the same direction, they should be placed not more than 75 feet apart for short dis- tances and 150 feet apart for extended distances. When vertical panel channelizing devices are used to channel traffic, spac- ing should not exceed 25 feet with a taper of one foot of street width for each 10 feet of street length.Longer tapers are required at higher speeds. The taper length, in feet, shall be equal to the speed limit times the width of street surface to be closed. (c)High -Level Warning Devices High-level warning devices are used to alert the motorist of an obstruction in the street.They can be seen over the top of preceding vehicles.This height feature is very effective in diverting traffic around obstructions. HIGH-LEVEL WARNING DEVICES ARE REQUIRED FOR ALL WORK IN THE STREET such as new construction, street painting, pavement patching, manhole work, surveying, cranes, excavations, etc.High-level warning devices may be attached to a vehicle located at or placed in advance of the obstruction. The required high-level warning devices shall be positioned with or behind the channelization and in the center of the areas closed. 21 High-level warning devices used in the City of Apache Junction will be as follows: 1.All flag -type high-level warning devices shall display three or more flags.At least three of the flags displayed shall be supported so that the lowest point of all three flags is eight feet or more above the street.(See Figure 5).The flag shall be 16 inches square or larger.Flgas shall be orange or fluorescent red -orange in color.The flag support shall be substantial to resist overturning by wind. 2.During hours of darkness, each flag -type high-level warning device must be equipped with a minimum of one operating flasher with lens mounted more than eight feet above the street. 3.Uni-directional parabolically reflected barricade warning lights, as specified in Part B, Item 2 of this section, are the minimum acceptable flashers for use on the flag -type high- level warning device.High -intensity type flashers are desirable. 4.One flag -type high-level warning device is required for each direction of traffic affected.They shall be placed with or behind the required channelizations in the center of the area closed.Additional flag -type high-level warning devices may be used for sign supports.They shall be located at the location required by the sign legend. D.Flagmen Manual traffic control is mandatory at locations where equipment is intermittently blocking or crossing a traffic lane or where only one traffic lane is available for two directions of traffic. Flagmen shall be alert, courteous, neat and possess a sense of respon- sibility for the safety of the public and the work crew.Flagmen shall wear orange or fluorescent red -orange vests when assisting with traffic control.The use of orange or fluorescent red -orange hats is optional. Flagment shall use a 24 -inch by 24 -inch red or fluorescent red- orange flag on a three-foot long staff or a 24 -inch diameter STOP/SLOW paddle with six-inch series "C" letters to control traffic. The STOP face shall have a red octagon background with white letters and border.The SLOW face shall have an orange diamond background with black letters and border.
