MDOT recently revised their policy for lights on drums and will now allow lights be placed on plastic drums when the TSC Construction Engineer or Project Design Engineer determine that an area of the work zone warrants usage of the lights.
When it is determined that lights are warranted, MDOT design staff will include the appropriate pay item quantities, plan notes, and/or verbiage in the special provision for maintaining traffic as to where lights on drums are required to be placed.
The operating light compliance during field reviews has been established as 95 percent of the total number of lights on plastic drums.
