Steps

  1. Retrieve FDOT's Smart Work Zone (SWZ) Design guidebook draft PDF from the FDOT design standard plans page
  2. Note the document's stated status — it is explicitly labeled a draft version, not a finalized standard
  3. Identify which SWZ device categories it covers (e.g., queue detection/warning, portable changeable message signs, automated speed enforcement/feedback) and their placement guidance
  4. Cross-check against FHWA's general ITS-for-work-zones guidance (itskrs.its.dot.gov) for baseline national context, since FDOT's guidebook is state-specific supplementary guidance, not a replacement for FDOT's Standard Specifications
  5. Confirm with the FDOT district traffic operations office whether the draft guidebook has since been finalized before relying on its version/date in a bid submission
