1.1 ,This practice describes the recommended procedure for installing inductive loop detectors in sawed slots in roadway pavement for use as a traffic monitoring device or to actuate traffic control devices such as a traffic signal. Although the practice is not intended for installing preformed loops, the practice does contain information of value for this type of loop, such as recommendations for the number of turns of loop wire, number and direction of twists in the lead-in wire and cable, splice location (if needed), and grounding options.
