Alcance y aplicabilidad

This standard applies to the setting of traffic signs and markings during construction and maintenance operations on highways, urban roads, and public areas allowing motor vehicle access. It is mandatory for all road work zones in China. It does not apply to permanent traffic sign installations but focuses specifically on temporary traffic control for road maintenance and construction.

Requisitos técnicos

GB 5768.4-2017 specifies the composition of a work zone, which includes the warning area, upstream transition area, buffer area, work area, downstream transition area, and termination area. Manufacturers and contractors must strictly follow these zonal definitions to ensure safety. The standard details the requirements for temporary traffic signs and markings. Notably, the background color for temporary warning and guide signs must be orange or fluorescent orange. It introduces new signs such as the lane reduction sign and detour sign, and specifies that temporary markings should also be orange. It outlines general layout provisions, including speed limits, the use of channelizing devices (like traffic cones and barriers), and nighttime safety facilities. Contractors must ensure that adjacent lane widths meet the minimum requirements or close the lane entirely. Specific layout requirements are provided for different road types, including expressways, two-lane highways, and urban roads. These sections dictate the placement of signs and barriers for various scenarios like lane closures and borrowing opposing lanes.

Métodos de ensayo

While primarily a specification standard, it references performance criteria for materials. For instance, the retroreflectivity of reflective sheeting used on temporary signs must comply with GB/T 18833-2012. The standard also specifies dimensional and color requirements for safety equipment like traffic cones and warning lights.
