Big Changes to MnDOT Signing Practices
Speaker: Steve McBurney & Tom Dailey, MnDot
Changes are coming related to signs on Minnesota's State Highway System. MnDOT is publishing a new Standard Sign and Marking Summary, a new Standard Sign and Marking Manual and a new SignCAD version. The crashworthy requirements for sign structures on the National Highway System changed at the beginning of 2020. These have led to new Signing Standard Plans. This session will introduce the attendees to new standards and guidance, as well as explaining why these were needed. Location: |

MnDOT's AFAD with TMA
Speaker: Steven Blaufuss
This session includes an introduction to a new device that MnDOT has purchased and using to help aide in the protection of their flaggers. The device is an attachment to a Truck or Trailer Mounted Attenuator (TMA). They call it the Flagger TMA. It takes the flagger off the road and puts them in the seat of a protection truck, while allowing them to control the flow of traffic using a sign paddle that rotates and a full color matrix message board to interact with the approaching vehicles. This device was purchased to solve 2 problems: the first was to get the flaggers out of harms way. And the second was to allow for a moving work zone, yet still have functionality similar to that of an AFAD. Location: |

GENERAL SESSION: A Review and Evaluation of Work Zone Enhancements on the I-35 Twin Ports Interchange Project in Duluth, MN
Speaker: Ted Ulven
The first year of traffic control on the Twin Ports Interchange Project on I-35 has the most severe impact on motorists due to single lane traffic in each direction, rebounding tourist traffic, and resumption of special events. The District realized this could have serious implications and added many work zone enhancements. This session will detail the extra traffic control efforts, evaluate their effectiveness, and review crash & operational data. Location: |

I love a rainy night, it's such a beautiful sight; I can see the stripe!
Speaker: Ethan Peterson, MnDot
Pavement markings are notoriously hard to see in wet conditions, particularly at night. There are standards in place to measure the retro of pavement markings in wet conditions, but there hasn’t been any information available for what the wet retro ought to be. MnDOT has been installing wet reflective pavement markings over the past few years and has struggled with this question. MnDOT worked with the Texas Transportation Institute to determine what levels are appropriate through a human factors study. This session will highlight the results of the study and MnDOT's next steps. Location: |
