Short Duration/Mobile Work Zone Training

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has requested that the Kentucky Transportation Center, Technology Transfer Program develop a course to assist companies and government agencies with guidance on short duration and mobile work zones. With guidance from the Cabinet, the Technology Transfer has developed this course.


The purpose of the Short Duration/Mobile Work Zone Training is to provide guidance on short duration and mobile activities while maintaining proper traffic control when performing right-of-way mowing, litter pickup, tree trimming, and spraying operations in accordance with MUTCD and KYTC standards. The course will focus on temporary traffic control for short duration and mobile work zones as it pertains to the basic principles of standard traffic control devices used in work areas, guidelines for applications of devices, and typical application diagrams.
