OVERALL RATING _____
Construction Project M&PT Survey Rating System
5 | Excellent design and implementation of M&PT. Controls provide adequate driver guidance for virtually all situations. No significant deficiencies encountered, and comments were limited to fine-tuning or other minor adjustment. All TCDs are in good condition, appropriate for the actual situation, and properly placed. |
4 | Good design and implementation of M&PT. Controls provide adequate driver input for most situations likely to be encountered. Some minor deficiencies may be present, such as less than optimum choice, condition or placement of individual device. |
3 | Design and implementation of M&PT is generally acceptable. There may be a number of specific points that can be improved or refined, and occasional points that may be only marginally effective. |
2 | Design and implementation of M&PT is only marginally effective. Many specific points need refinement or adjustment, or a number of individual points are marginally effective. Although drivers familiar with the work zone can be expected to traverse it safely, unfamiliar drivers may experience difficulty, especially during adverse conditions, such as heavy traffic, rain, or darkness. |
1 | Although some traffic controls have been provided, they are not adequate to provide guidance through the work zone. Drivers familiar with the site may not experience difficulty during favorable conditions, but unfamiliar drivers will probably have problems in traversing the site during all conditions, and even familiar drivers during adverse conditions. |
0 | Other than occasional signs or other devices which are not coordinated or effective, no traffic control is provided, and motorists are left on their own to traverse the work zone. Guidance provided to drivers may be misleading such that drivers are directed to make inappropriate or dangerous responses. |
