This special provision sets the guidelines for when mobile attenuators are to be used to protect workers or work equipment from vehicular traffic. Throughout this special provision, mobile attenuators refer to truck mounted attenuators (TMA) and trailer mounted attenuators. Use mobile attenuators in projects to protect personnel or equipment when one or more of the following conditions are met. o The vehicle is designated as a protective vehicle (shadow vehicle or barrier vehicle) as part of the Maintaining Traffic Typicals, maintenance of traffic plans, or other contract documents. o Aerial work is being performed on scaffolding, lifts, hoists, bucket trucks, etc., where workers using this equipment are in an occupied lane or shoulder and not protected by temporary barrier. Mobile attenuators are not intended to be used for the removal, installation, or maintenance of traffic signals. o Mobile/short duration operations such as pavement marking convoys, grinding in rumble strips, permanent sign installations, temporary ground mounted sign installations, sign installations located in areas where a work-vehicle cannot pull entirely outside of the edge line, luminescent installations, etc. Mobile attenuators are not intended to be used for the removal or installation of special markings. Do not mount mobile attenuators on the vehicle or equipment used by personnel to complete aerial work. Do not use mobile attenuators as a temporary/permanent barrier ending except during replacement of damaged temporary/permanent barrier endings. In the event that a mobile attenuator is used as a temporary safety measure for a damaged temporary/permanent barrier ending, the maximum length of time that it can be used for this purpose is 48 hours or as approved by the Engineer. 1.
