SELECTION AND APPLICATION OF FLASHING ARROW PANELS. FINAL REPORT

This report is a synthesis of research findings and current practices in the selection and application of arrow panels in work zones. The information presented here is based on a review of research reports and work zone manuals from a selection of state and city highway agencies, discussions with highway officials, and field observations of selected highway construction projects. The report presents an assessment of the state-of-the-practice and makes recommendations for further research and specification inclusions in the future revisions of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices.
