10Temporary pavement markers (FLAPS)#
10.1 To assist the management of traffic, temporary pavement markers must be installed on all areas of cold planed, asphalt or spray seal surfaced prior to the areas being temporarily opened to traffic.
10.2 Temporary raised pavement markers must be removed and replaced with permanent markers as soon as the final road surface is completed and ready to receive the permanent markers. Where temporary markers are used to delineate traffic lanes and directions pending installation of permanent markings, they must be offset from the final alignment sufficiently to allow permanent markings to be installed without hindrance prior to the removal of the temporary markers.
10.3 Temporary markers must be placed at 12 m centres and in accordance with Table 10.3.
