What is the required spacing for RMP through the transition area for specific lane shifts?

The required spacing for RMP (Reinforced Roadway Marking Paint) through the transition area for specific lane shifts is 20 feet center to center. This spacing is critical because it ensures that drivers have adequate guidance and visual cues to navigate safely through areas where lane shifts occur. The transition area can often present challenges for drivers, so maintaining proper spacing helps maintain clarity and visibility of the road markings.

Using 20-foot spacing allows for sufficient time for drivers to react and adapt to the changes in lane configurations, which is essential for preventing accidents and ensuring smooth traffic flow. Ensuring that RMP is appropriately spaced in these transition areas is a key aspect of maintaining effective traffic control measures during roadwork or other lane changes.
