As we gear up for the 2015 construction season, we want to remind you to not use improper lifting devices (ex. 2”x4”) attached to temporary wood sign covers (see enclosed picture). Any attachment to the covers compromises the crashworthiness due to the increased potential to cause damage to and/or impale the windshield.
For information on crashworthy work zone devices and testing requirements, please visit the FHWA’s website by clicking here.
