1. 2024 STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS FOR ROADS & STRUCTURES
The 2024 Standard Specifications are revised as follows:
1.1. ELECTRICAL JUNCTION BOXES (1091-5)
Page 10-209, revise paragraphs beginning on line 26 to read "Provide electrical junction boxes
with covers of the type and size indicated by the contract or plans for the termination of conduits.
Boxes and covers shall meet all requirements and specifications of ANSI/SCTE 77. Structural load
tests shall meet the Tier 15 application type.
Page 10-209, line 28, revise title of section 1091-5(B) from “Polymer Concrete (PC) Junction
Boxes” to “Polymer Concrete (PC), Composite, and Thermoplastic Junction Boxes”.
Page 10-209, revise paragraphs beginning on line 29 through line 41 to read “For PC junction
boxes, use polymer concrete material made of an aggregate consisting of sand and gravel bound
together with a polymer and reinforced with glass strands to fabricate box and cover components.
Provide junction boxes which have bolted covers and open bottoms. Provide vertical extensions
of 6 inches to 12 inches as required by project provisions.
Provide the required logo on the cover. Provide at least two size 3/8 inch diameter hex head
stainless steel cover bolts to match inserts in the box. Provide pull slot(s) with stainless steel pin(s).
Bodies of junction boxes shall be a single piece.
Polymer concrete, composite, and thermoplastic junction boxes are not required to be listed
electrical devices.”
1.2. TRAFFIC SIGNAL ACTIVATION (1700-4)
Page 17-4, revise paragraph beginning on line 42 through line 46 to read “Prior to placing signal in
the steady (stop-and-go) mode, the signal should be placed in yellow-red flashing mode for up to 7
days or as directed by the Engineer. Yellow-red flashing mode differs from the red-red flashing
mode shown in the signal plan. Yellow-red flash mode includes flashing the yellow signal
indications on all main street through movements while flashing the red signal indications on all side
street signal heads and any left turn heads on the main street. The signal should not be placed in the
steady (stop-and-go) mode on a Saturday or Sunday without prior approval from the Engineer. Do
not place the signal in steady (stop-and-go) mode until inspected and without prior approval of the
Engineer.”
1.3. PEDESTALS (1098-15)
Pages 10-226 through 10-230, revise section 1098-15 beginning on page 10-226 line 17 through
page 10-230 line 10 to read “Furnish pedestal assemblies and their components that are pre-approved
on the ITS & Signals QPL with foundations that conform to the AASHTO Standard Specifications for
Structural Supports for Highway Signs, Luminaires, and Traffic Signals, and the Interim Specifications
as shown on the plans. Refer to Roadway Standard Drawings No. 1743 for structural design
specifications for each type of pedestal.
(A) Pedestal Shaft
Furnish one piece pedestal shafts fabricated from either aluminum or galvanized steel pipe with a
uniform pipe outer diameter of 4.5 inches and of the lengths specified for the type of pedestal
shown on Roadway Standard Drawing No. 1743. Refer to Article 1743-2 for pedestal type
descriptions.

For Type I (pedestrian pushbutton pedestals) and Type II (normal-duty pedestals), furnish shafts
constructed from schedule 40 extruded aluminum pipe that conforms to Aluminum Association
Alloy 6061-T6 with a tensile strength of 30 ksi and a minimum wall thickness of 0.237 inch.
Aluminum conduit will not develop the necessary strength required and is not allowed. Thread
and deburr in accordance with American National Standard Pipe Threads, NPT (ANSI B2.1).
Finish the exterior with a rough surface texture consisting of a uniform grain pattern that is
perpendicular to the axis of the pipe along the full pipe length. Unless otherwise specified, do not
use galvanized steel pipe for Type I and Type II pedestal shafts.
For Type III (heavy-duty pedestals), furnish schedule 120 galvanized steel pipe that conforms to
ASTM A53. Provide an 11 inch square by 1 inch thick steel base plate with minimum yield
strength of 36 ksi that conforms to ASTM A36. Fabricate the base plate with four equally
spaced bolt holes on an 11 inch bolt circle. Orient the bolt holes in the corners of the plate. Size
the holes to accommodate 1 inch diameter machine bolts. Weld the pedestal shaft to the center
of the base plate using a socket connection. Provide circumferential fillet welds at the top and
bottom of the base plate. Perform all welding in accordance with AWS Code on the plans. Hot-
dip galvanize the pedestal shaft and base plate assembly after fabrication in accordance with
ASTM A123. Unless otherwise specified, do not use aluminum pipe for Type III pedestal shafts.
(B) Transformer Bases
Furnish transformer bases for each type of pedestal shown on Roadway Standard Drawings No.
1743 fabricated from aluminum that meets Aluminum Association Alloy 356 or equivalent, and
that are designed to break upon impact in accordance with AASHTO requirements. Pre-approved
transformer base shape, size, and bolt circle dimensions may vary by product supplier, but are
structurally qualified for use by each pedestal type. Compliance with manufacturer’s installation
instructions is crucial to ensure optimal performance when impacted.
Provide a 0.5 inch minimum diameter, coarse thread hole cast into transformer base located
inside of base and oriented for easy access for use in grounding and bonding.
Provide an access opening for all transformer bases with an access door that is attached with a
1/4 inch x 3/4 inch long stainless steel vandal proof screw to secure access door.
For Type I (pedestrian pushbutton pedestals) and Type II (normal-duty pedestals), provide a
threaded opening at the top of the base to receive a 4 inch NPT pipe shaft. Include a set screw
prep and 3/8 inch-16 x 1 inch stainless steel set screw to secure the pedestal post to the pedestal
base. Fabricate the bottom of the transformer base with four equally spaced holes or slots to
secure the entire assembly to the concrete foundation.
For Type III (heavy-duty pedestals), provide square bases designed for bolt-on mounting of a
Type III pedestal shaft. Fabricate the top of the transformer base with four equally spaced holes
or slots for an 11 inch bolt circle to attach the pedestal shaft. Size the holes or slots to
accommodate 1 inch diameter machine bolts. Fabricate the bottom of the transformer base with
four equally spaced holes or slots for a 12 inch bolt circle to secure the entire assembly to the
concrete foundation. Size the holes or slots to accommodate 1 inch diameter anchor bolts.
Provide the following mounting hardware for heavy-duty pedestals:
