    TSL Decision Matrix Worksheet Feb2018

    Uploaded by

    Harry Potar
    This document provides instructions for using a decision matrix to determine a temporary speed limit for a road worksite. It includes four factors to evaluate - lane width, pavement/surface condition, visibility/alignment, and site clutter. For each factor there are descriptions for excellent, average, below average, and poor conditions. Based on the lowest selected condition, a temporary speed limit is chosen between 50-110 km/h or no limit is required. The lowest chosen speed is then transferred to the bottom for the overall temporary speed limit.
