Current through Register Vol. 28, No. 7, January 1, 2025

Section 1207-6.0 - Installation

6.1 Site Considerations

6.1.1 The ESMS must be installed within the work zone or on the same roadway that the speed study was conducted for approval and in the vicinity of where the speeds were collected.

6.1.2 The technology and housing unit installation must comply with typical traffic control device requirements (e.g., Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance and geometric design policies and manuals).

6.1.3 The authorizing legislation establishes an end date for the Electronic Speed Monitoring program; therefore, all installations should be treated as "portable" or "temporary" traffic device installations.

6.1.4 The authorizing legislation requires annual reporting as described in Section 7.0 of this regulation. Data from the program will be collected and summarized to determine if any ESMS locations should become permanent installations.

6.2 Other Program Requirements

6.2.1 To inform motorists clearly of the posted speed limit and the ESMS enforcement area, a speed limit sign with photo enforced camera symbol or a "PHOTO ENFORCED" plaque mounted directly below must be installed in a location or locations where all motorists passing through the enforcement area would be expected to have seen the posted speed limit sign and photo enforced plaque.

6.2.2 Radar speed feedback signs (i.e., "YOUR SPEED" signs), must be used for motorist awareness and as speed data collection units in work zone applications of ESMS. Radar speed feedback signs may be used for motorist awareness and as speed data collection units in residence district applications of ESMS. Due to technological differences between radar speed feedback signs and the ESMS unit, a digital radar speed display may not be used in the immediate proximity of the enforcement area and must comply with DelDOT policy.
