Current through Register Vol. 28, No. 5, November 1, 2024
Section 4N.01 - Application of In-Roadway Lights

Support:

01 In-Roadway Lights are special types of highway traffic signals installed in the roadway surface to warn road users that they are approaching a condition on or adjacent to the roadway that might not be readily apparent and might require the road users to slow down and/or come to a stop. This includes situations warning of marked school crosswalks, marked midblock crosswalks, marked crosswalks on uncontrolled approaches, marked crosswalks in advance of roundabouts as described in Chapter 3C, and other roadway situations involving pedestrian crossings.

Standard:

02 In-Roadway Lights shall not be used for any application that is not described in this Chapter.
02A (DE Revision) Due to their prior poor performance within Delaware, In-Roadway Lights shall only be permitted on state-maintained roads with DelDOT Traffic approval.
03 If used, In-Roadway Lights shall not exceed a height of 3/4 inch above the roadway surface.
04 When used, In-Roadway Lights shall be flashed and shall not be steadily illuminated.

Support:

05 Steadily illuminated lights installed in the roadway surface are considered to be internally illuminated raised pavement markers (see Section 3B.11).

Option:

06 In-Roadway Lights may be flashed in a manner that includes a continuous flash of varying intensity and time duration that is repeated to provide a flickering effect (see Section 4N.02 ).
