warranted, and
(2)
feasible.
C.
Data collection units may be deployed on site to collect data related to speed.
D.
Data collection units shall be deployed based on engineering judgement.
E.
A site visit may be conducted to document conditions including:
(1)
roadway grade;
(2)
roadway width and cross-section;
(3)
roadway horizontal geometry;
(4)
lane configurations;
(5)
adjacent land-use;
(6)
multimodal traffic operations; and
(7)
other related geometric and operational roadway features.
F.
The following elements may be reviewed:
