TRAFFIC CONTROL AND WORK ZONE SAFETY:
The Contractor shall be responsible for any traffic control installation and maintenance of road
closures that may be required for any operation. The Contractor shall maintain traffic, provide
traffic control, and conduct all phases of his work in accordance with Section 1101 of the Standard
Specifications, the current edition of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD),

items shall include all cones, drums, signing, changeable message signs, flashing arrow boards,
truck mounted impact attenuators, flaggers and incidentals included to install, shift, and remove
the lane closure as shown in Roadway Standard Drawing 1101.02 Sheets 1 thru 15 and shoulder
closure as shown in Roadway Standard Drawing 1101.04 Sheet 1 of 1.
The Contractor is required to conduct his construction activities in a manner that will be safe to
the traveling public, and which will not impede motorists, while also maintaining existing
pedestrian facilities, at all times.
The Contractor shall utilize complete and proper traffic control during all operations. All traffic
control and traffic control devices required for any operation shall be functional and in place prior
to the commencement of that operation.
All personnel when working in traffic areas, or areas in close proximity to traffic, shall wear
an OSHA approved reflective vest or outer garment at all times while on the project.
Maintain traffic in accordance with Divisions 10, 11 and 12 of the 2024 Standard Specifications.
Refer to Standard Drawing No. 1101.02, 1101.03, 1101.04, 1101.05, 1101.11, 1110.01, 1110.02,

Standard Drawings when closing a lane of travel in a stationary work zone such as pavement
patching or resurfacing. Properly ballasted cones and skinny drums may be used instead of drums.
However, drums are required for the upstream taper portion of lane closures in all applications.
The stationary work zone shall be a maximum of 1 mile in length at any given time on 2 Lane, 2
Way facilities unless otherwise approved by the Engineer. Traffic movements through lane
closures on roads with two way traffic shall be controlled by flaggers stationed at each end of the
work zone. In situations where sight distance is limited, the Contractor shall provide additional
means of controlling traffic, including, but not limited to, two-way radios, pilot vehicles, or
additional flaggers. Flaggers shall be competent personnel, adequately trained in flagging
procedures, and furnished with proper safety devices and equipment, including, but not limited to,
safety vests and stop/slow paddles.
A pilot vehicle operation may be used in conjunction with flaggers and the appropriate pilot vehicle
warning signing as directed by the Engineer. During periods of construction inactivity, return the
traffic pattern to the existing alignment and remove or cover any work zone signs. The Contractor
is required to leave the project in a manner that will be safe to the traveling public and which will
not impede motorists. When covering work zone signs, use an opaque material that prevents
reading of the sign at night by a driver using high beam headlights. Use material, which does not
damage the sign sheeting. Replace any obliterated markings as required by other sections of the
2024 Standard Specifications and the Engineer.
