This report is a synthesis of research findings on current practices in the
delineation of portable concrete safety-shaped barriers (CSSBs) in work zones.
The information 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 future revisions of the Manual on Uniform Traffic
Control Devices.
