The lane was closed with a company vehicle which was not equipped with signs, special lighting or other appropriate warning devices. A feasible means of abatment would be to conform with Part VI of the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), 2009 Edition which states: Mobile operations shall have appropriate devices on the equipment (that is, high intensity rotating, flashing, oscillating, or strobe lights, signs, or special lighting), or shall use a separate vehicle with appropriate warning devices.ate
