Removal#

The removal process is similar to the implementation process, but in a reverse order. Traffic is stopped by the TC while the signs beyond the TC station in the closed lane and the delineation for the closed lane are removed. The END ROADWORK sign on the left shoulder may also be removed at this time. The TMA is then repositioned (the TC releases traffic once the TMA has cleared the site) in front of the merge taper (which will require a loop of the road network to get back to this location) to provide protection for the TTM ute and TMIs doing the removal activities and all the remaining on-road devices (merge taper, signs, and TC station) are removed. After all the on-road devices are removed, the TMA and TTM ute will loop around the site a couple of times to firstly remove the remaining signs and devices on the left shoulder (working in the direction of traffic), followed by the devices on the median (right shoulder). A final drive-through of the site is performed to ensure all TTM devices have been removed.

1. 39.The effectiveness of the TTM arrangements is to be monitored and checked at regular intervals by the lead TMI on the site.
