• Abstract:
  The Florida Department of Transportation’s Design Standards requires placement of business ; entrance signs and channelizing devices at business entrances in work zones. The Design ; Standards also specifies the layout of the signs and devices. Typically, highway contractors use ; orange and white plastic drums as channelizing devices. However, these drums are also used ; to mark other areas of work sites. ; The Design Standards requires ; that drums be spaced more ; closely at business entrances, but ; in field experience, this does not ; appear to aid driver detection of ; entrances. The additional drums ; at entrances may also contribute ; to the visual clutter of work sites ; and impair sight lines for drivers ; exiting businesses.
