86 5.2. ENFORCEMENT AND TRAFFIC CONTROL Although outside the scope of the study, if potential hydroplaning problems requiring some type of construction solution are identified, temporary signs alerting drivers to reduce speed or that the pavement is slippery when wet can be put in place as soon as possible.
