Traffic Control Plans Design Manual Traffic Control Plans Design Manual 13th Edition – January 1, 2018 Oregon Department of Transportation Technical Services Traffic-Roadway Section Traffic Control Plans Unit http://www.oregon.gov/ODOT/HWY/TS/traffic_control_plans.shtml Traffic Control Plans Design Manual DATE: January 1, 2018 TO: Traffic Control Plans Designers FROM: Scott M. McCanna, P.E. State Work Zone Engineer th SUBJECT: Traffic Control Plans Design Manual – 13 Edition, January 1, 2018 PURPOSE The purpose of this manual is to provide an introduction to the standards, practices, devices and technologies that serve as the foundation for the temporary traffic control discipline. This manual provides an organized collection of traffic control plan design standards, guidelines, policies, and procedures to be used in the development of a temporary Traffic Control Plan (TCP). This TCP Design Manual is intended for TCP Designers, engineers or technical staff, members of City or County Public Works offices and private consulting engineering firms responsible for developing temporary traffic control plans and highway construction staging plans. However, concepts and guidance within this manual may also be applied to highway maintenance operations, utility and permit services, or other temporary activities within public highway rights of way. Professionals conducting work outside of ODOT for other agencies should exercise caution in applying standards and practices within this manual as differences in design policy may exist between ODOT and those established by other agencies. This technical manual is intended to provide greater detail in the design of temporary traffic control plans and supersedes other existing ODOT Design policies that make reference to temporary traffic control design standards. This manual should be considered as the primary technical design policy for ODOT in the design of temporary traffic control plans. Please contact the ODOT Traffic Control Plans Unit, in Salem, for clarification or interpretation of any standards, practices or policies contained in this manual. MANUAL ORGANIZATION This manual discusses Traffic Control Plans Design beginning with general information – including ODOT’s Guiding Principle – and progressing to specific TCP design elements such as Traffic Control Devices, Traffic Control Measures, standard drawings, estimating, specifications and special provisions, etc. UPDATES This manual is updated annually. To expedite updates, this manual is available on-line. The on-line version is considered an official document. As an on-line document, it will not be published and distributed as a traditional publication, and there is no user list for update notifications. It is the user’s responsibility to verify they are using the most current version of the manual as their reference. Updated information will be detailed on the ODOT Traffic Control Plans Unit web page. The 13th Edition, and subsequent editions, will include indications of new or changed sections. Changes are identified on the “Change Sheet” on ODOT’s Traffic Control Plans Unit web page. The change sheet summaries additions and changes that occur between manual revisions.

Goal: Our work zone safety goal is zero fatalities and injuries, including ODOT employees, Contractors, public safety professionals and the traveling public while efficiently moving people and goods. Guiding Principle: The best work zone design and management plan will maintain safety and mobility, a balance that shall be analyzed continuously throughout the lifecycle of the facility. Directive/Strategy: To accomplish this goal, project design teams shall consider the full range of options including, but not limited to, separation of the traveling public from workers and work areas, speed reductions, law enforcement, enhanced traffic control devices and signage, and overall roadway and work zone design. Effective communication with travelers is essential to establish reasonable expectations and minimize unsafe driver behavior. While there is no single solution that is appropriate for all roadway designs and work zones,

  • Idioms-And-Expressions.Pdf
    Idioms and Expressions by David Holmes A method for learning and remembering idioms and expressions I wrote this model as a teaching device during the time I was working in Bangkok, Thai- land, as a legal editor and language consultant, with one of the Big Four Legal and Tax companies, KPMG (during my afternoon job) after teaching at the university. When I had no legal documents to edit and no individual advising to do (which was quite frequently) I would sit at my desk, (like some old character out of a Charles Dickens’ novel) and prepare language materials to be used for helping professionals who had learned English as a second language—for even up to fifteen years in school—but who were still unable to follow a movie in English, understand the World News on TV, or converse in a colloquial style, because they’d never had a chance to hear and learn com- mon, everyday expressions such as, “It’s a done deal!” or “Drop whatever you’re doing.” Because misunderstandings of such idioms and expressions frequently caused miscom- munication between our management teams and foreign clients, I was asked to try to as- sist. I am happy to be able to share the materials that follow, such as they are, in the hope that they may be of some use and benefit to others. The simple teaching device I used was three-fold: 1. Make a note of an idiom/expression 2. Define and explain it in understandable words (including synonyms.) 3. Give at least three sample sentences to illustrate how the expression is used in context.

HANK JONES NEA Jazz Master (1989) Interviewee: Hank Jones (July 31, 1918 – May 16, 2010) Interviewer: Bill Brower Date: November 26-27, 2004 Repository: Archives Center, National Museum of American History Description: Transcript, pp. 134 Hank Jones: I was over there for about two and a half weeks doing a promotional tour. I had done a couple of CDs; one was with my brother Elvin and Richard Davis, the bass player. They made – – I think they made two releases from that date. And I did another date with Jack DeJohnette and John Patitucci. But, these two albums were the objects of the promotion. I mean, they promote very, very heavily everyday. I must have had 40 interviews and about 30 record signings at the record shops, plus all of the recording. We did seven concerts and people inevitably want the records, CDs of the concert for us to sign. I have a trio over there, with Jimmy Cobb and John Fink. It was called, “The Great Jazz Trio.” It was not my name, but the Japanese have special names for everything, you know? That's only one in a series of tree others which he called the great jazz trio. The first one was Ron Carter, Tony Williams and myself. But, there had been a succession of different changes in personnel. It changed about six times. The current one was Jimmy Cobb and Dave Fink--Oh, the cookies have arrived and not a minute too soon.

[email protected] Blekingegatan 25, 11856 Stockholm Sweden 046-8-6426358 I was born in 1946 in middleclass surroundings outside Stockholm, Sweden. Piano lessons in my youth went without any real progress. Culturally Sweden was isolated with a state owned radio and later television with very limited output. It was like the eastern European states behind the iron curtain. At best, perhaps once a year a song with Louis Jordan or Big Joe Turner was heard on the radio. Around 1956 records with Elvis Presley came to Sweden. Through my four year older brother I became absolute fascinated and soon had two other favourites whose records I also started to buy: Little Richard and Fats Domino.
