Description
The Iowa LTAP Work Zone Sign Package Program is funded by the Iowa Department of Transportation and offered through the Iowa Local Technical Assistance Program. It gives smaller cities an avenue to obtain basic work zone signs that comply with the 2023 Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). Its goal is to make work zones safer for operations personnel and motorists.
Support takes the form of equipment rather than funding for a research project. The proposed package includes signs, barricades, cones, safety vests, sign stands, and channelizers intended for lower-speed city street work. The program describes devices of the appropriate type and size, with high-intensity retro-reflective sheeting suitable for nighttime use.
