Dear All.
I am involved to put traffic signs (warning signs, speed ramp, Prohibition signs, ) around the roads in our project which is located in Middle East, I know this type of job should be performed by Traffic Engineer but due to job requirement i have to do that, I am looking for the guidance or standard or comment to see how I could put these signs in the road, from which distance..etc
Any Help much appreciated!

SHV,
Where do you start? Was design not a consideration with this project?

The laws of the land that you are working in should be adhered to - try that area as a starter first e.g. Sweden is different to England so putting in signs etc to English specifications in a Swedish location is wrong

This is a huge subject which has it's own specialists...
If you need a starting point, I suggest you look at the pdf of 'chapter 8' here:
http://www.dft.gov.uk/pgr/roads/tss/tsmanual/
'Chapter 8' is effectively the bible for traffic management at roadworks in this country - BUT - REMEMBER - this is UK specification, and will probably be (very) different for other countries. I suspect that most Middle East will be UK similar, but others will be U.S. style markings, and others will be completely different....
Good luck.
Steve

SHV,
I'd personally approach the Institute of Highway Engineers. They're better placed to comment on your question!
Good luck

SHV,
Reading your post again, I'd suggest you go back to the person telling you 'this is your job requirement' and explain that you are not competent to do this. Suggest that they plan this activity properly - more time planning = less time constructing - probably fewer accidents, injuries and residual risk issues too!
That I feel is the most helpful advice!
Best of luck.
Simon
