Documentation supporting the certification (crash tests and/or engineering analysis) must be kept on file by the certifying organization. No certification is required for devices less than or equal to both the weight and height on the schedule below:

643-3.01 GENERAL CON STRUCTION REQUIREMENTS . Keep the work, and portions of the

project affected by the work, in good condition to accommodate traffic safely. Provide and maintain traffic control devices and services inside and outside the project limits, day and night, to guide traffic safely. Unless otherwise provided in this Section, keep all roadways, business accesses, and pedestrian facilities within the project l imits open to traffic. Obtain the Engineer’s approval before temporarily closing residential, commercial, or street approaches. Provide access through the project for emergency vehicles and school and transit buses. Properly sign and/or flag all locations where the traveling public is redirected or stopped. Organize construction operations so the total of all construction related stoppages experienced by a vehicle traveling through the project does not exceed 20 minutes except when indicated otherwise in the Contract. Stop equipment at all points of intersection with the traveling public unless an approved TCP shows otherwise. Continue to operate all illumination and signalization according to the requirements of Subsection 660-3.09. When moving approach lanes, realign signal heads as necessary according to the ATM. Coordinate any modifications to existing traffic signals with the agency that maintains and operates them. Operate flood lighting at night according to the ATM. Adjust flood lighting so that it does not shine into oncoming traffic. Provide and maintain safe routes for pedestrians and bicyclists through or around traffic control zones at all times, except when regulations prohibit pedestrians or bicyclists. Immediately notify the Engineer of any tr affic related accident that occurs within the project limits as soon as an employee, or a subcontractor becomes aware of the accident.

643-3.02 ROADWAY CHA RACTERISTICS DURING CONSTRUCTION. Obtain an approved

TCP before reducing existing roadway lane and sh oulder widths and before starting construction. Maintain a clear area with at least 2 feet between the edge of traveled way and the work area. Use barricades, traffic cones, or drums to delineate this area. Place traffic control devices on the work side of the clear area. Space them according to the ATM. If maintaining traffic on an unpaved surface, provide a smooth and even surface that public traffic can use at all times. Properly crown the roadbed surface for drainage. Before beginning other grading oper ations, place sufficient fill at culverts and bridges to permit traffic to cross smoothly and unimpeded. Use part -width construction techniques when routing traffic through roadway cuts or over embankments under construction. Excavate the material or place it in layers. Alternate construction activities from one side to the other. Route traffic over the side opposite the one under construction. Device Composition Weight Height Cones Rubber 20 lb. 36 in. Plastic 20 lb. 48 in. Candles Rubber 13 lb. 36 in. Plastic 13 lb. 36 in. Drums Hi Density Plastic 77 lb. 36 in. Lo Density Plastic 77 lb. 36 in. Delineators Plastic or Fiberglass N/A 48 in. 409 ALASKA 2020 Detour traffic when the Plans or an approved TCP allows. Maintain detour routes so that traffic can proceed safely . When detours are no longer required, obliterate the detour. Topsoil and seed appropriate areas. If two -way traffic cannot be maintained on the existing roadway or detour, you may use half -width construction or a road closure if it is shown on an approved TCP. Make sure the TCP indicates closure duration and conditions. Schedule roadway closures so you do not delay school buses or peak -hour traffic. For road closures, post closure- start and road- reopen times at the closure site, within view of waiting traf fic.

643-3.03 PUBLIC NOTI CE. Give notice at least 3 days before major changes, delays, lane

restrictions, or road closures to local officials and transportation organizations, including but not necessarily limited to:

1.Alaska Trucking Association
2.Alaska Sta te Troopers
3.Division of Measurement Standards
4.Local Police Department
5.Local Fire Department
6.Local Government Traffic Engineer
7.School and Transit Authorities
8.Local Emergency Medical Services
9.Local Media (newspapers, radio, television)
10.Railroads (where appli cable)
11.U.S. Postal Service
12.Major Tour Operators Provide local traffic enforcement and maintenance agencies 24 hour notice before shutting down a traffic signal system. Provide notice as required by utility companies before repairing or replacing a utility. Provide the Alaska State Troopers, local police and fire department with the radio frequencies used on the project and the 24- hour telephone numbers of the Worksite Traffic Supervisor and the Project Superintendent. These telephone numbers are used to alert construction employees when emergency vehicles must pass through the project. When notified of emergencies make every necessary effort to expedite rapid passage. Additional notices may be given through the Navigator or 511 System for selected projects. Check the special provisions for those requirements.

643-3.04 TRAFFIC CON TROL DEVICES. Before starting construction, erect permanent and

temporary traffic control devices required by the approved TCPs. The Engineer will determine advisory speeds when nec essary. For lane closures on multilane roadways, use sequential arrow panels. During hours of darkness when required by the approved TCP use flashing warning lights to mark obstructions or hazards and steady -burn lights for channelization. Use only one typ e of traffic control device in a continuous line of delineating devices, unless otherwise noted on an approved TCP. Use drums or Type II barricades for lane drop tapers. During non- working hours and after completing a particular construction operation, rem ove all unnecessary traffic control devices. Store all unused traffic control devices in a designated storage area which does not present a nuisance or visual distraction to traffic. If sign panels are post mounted and cannot be readily removed, cover them entirely with either metal or plywood sheeting. Completely cover signal heads with durable material that that fully blocks the view of signal head and will not be damaged or removed by weather. 410 ALASKA 2020 Keep signs, drums, barricades, and other devices clean at all times. Use only traffic control devices that meet the requirements of the “Acceptable” category in ATSSA (American Traffic Safety Services Association) “Quality Guidelines for Temporary Traffic Control Devices” and meet crashworthiness requirements per Section 643- 2.02. Immediately replace any devices provided under this Section that are lost, stolen, destroyed, inoperable or deemed unacceptable while used on the project. Stock repair parts for each Temporary Crash Cushion used on the project. Repair damaged crash cushions within 24 hours. Maintain pre- existing roadside safety hardware at an equivalent or better level than existed prior to project implementation until the progress of construction necessitates removing the hardware. All existing hazards that are currently protected with roadside safety hardware or new hazards which result from project improvements shall be protected or delineated as required in the plans, specifications, and approved TCPs until permanent roadside safety hardware is installed. All temporary roadside safety hardware shall meet crashworthiness requirements of 643- 2.02. All items paid under this Section remain the property of the Contractor, unless noted otherwise in the contract. Remove them after completing the project.

1.Embankm ents. Install portable concrete or steel barrier, plastic drums, barricades, tubular markers, plastic safety fence, and cones as specified on the Plans or TCPs to delineate open trenches, ditches, other excavations and hazardous areas when they exist along the roadway for more than one continuous work shift.
2.Adjacent Travel Lane Paving. When paving lifts are 2 inches or greater and you cannot finish paving adjacent travel lanes or paved shoulders to the same elevation before the end of the paving shift, ins tall: W8 -11 (Uneven Lanes), W8- 9 (Low Shoulder), W8- 17 (Shoulder Drop- Off), W14 -3 (No Passing Zone), R4- 1 (Do Not Pass), R4- 2 (Pass with Care), and W8- 1 (Bump) signs as appropriate. Place additional signs every 1500 feet if the section is longer than 1/2 m ile.
3.Fixed Objects And Construction Vehicles And Equipment Working On Or Next To The Traveled Way . Do not park equipment in medians. Locate fixed objects at least 30 feet from the edge of traveled way. Fixed objects that exist prior to construction activ ity are not subject to this requirement unless the proposed temporary traffic routing moves the edge of traveled way closer to the pre- existing fixed object. Vehicles and other objects within parking lots in urban environments are considered preexisting f ixed objects regardless of whether they are or are not present continuously throughout the day. When worksite restrictions, land features, right of way limitations, environmental restrictions, construction phasing, or other construction conditions allow no practicable location meeting the preceding requirements, the Engineer may approve alternate locations for fixed objects. Alternate locations shall be as far as practicable from the edge of traveled way. When the alternate location provides 15 feet or more separation from the edge of traveled way, the Engineer may verbally approve the alternate location. When the alternate location provides less than 15 feet separation, written approval is required. When the Engineer determines a fixed object or fixed objec ts present unacceptable hazard, use drums or Type II barricades with flashing warning lights, or use portable concrete or steel barriers, or temporary crash cushion to delineate or shield the hazard, as approved by the Engineer.
4.Flagging. Furnish trained and competent flaggers and all necessary equipment, including lighting of the flagging position during nighttime operations, to control traffic through the traffic control zone. The Engineer will approve each flagging operation before it begins and direct adjustments as conditions change. 411 ALASKA 2020 a. Flaggers must be certified as one of the following:
b.Flagging Level I Certification by IMSA
c.Flagger Certification by ATSSA
d.Traffic Control Supervisor, ATSSA
e.Work Zone Safety Specialist, IMSA
f.ATSSA Flagging Instructor Flagg ers shall maintain current flagger certification. Flaggers must be able to show their flagger certification anytime they are on the project. Flaggers must maintain their assigned flagging location at all times, unless another qualified flagger relieves t hem, or the approved traffic control plan terminates the flagging requirements. Remove, fully cover, or lay down flagger signs when no flagger is present. Keep the flaggers’ area free of encumbrances. Keep the flagger’s vehicle well off the roadway and aw ay from the flagging location so the flagger can be easily seen. Provide approved equipment for two- way radio communications between flaggers when flaggers are not in plain, unobstructed view of each other. Obtain the Engineer’s written approval before flagging signalized intersections. When flagging a signalized intersection, either turn off and cover the traffic signal or place it in the All-Red Flash mode. Coordinate changing traffic signal modes and turning off or turning on traffic signals with the agency responsible for signal maintenance and operation and the Engineer. Get their written approval in advance. Only uniformed police officers are permitted to direct traffic in an intersection with an operating traffic signal.
5.Pilot Cars . You may use pilot cars when part of an approved TCP, if the Engineer determines one-way traffic is necessary, or if the route through the traffic control zone is particularly hazardous, involved, or frequently altered to preclude adequate signing, Do not use pilot cars to avoid localized traffic control at several locations. Pilot car operators may not control Automated Flagger Assistance Devices while operating a pilot car. Organize construction operations so the total of all stoppages experienced by a vehicle traveling t hrough a project does not exceed 20 minutes. However, this does not imply that you may allow 20 minutes in all cases. Coordinate multiple pilot -car operations within a project or adjoining projects to minimize inconvenience to the traveling public. Two or more pilot cars may be used to provide two- way traffic through the traffic control zone to reduce the waiting period. The flagger or pilot car operator must record each pilot car’s departure time in a bound field book furnished by the Engineer. Whenever pr actical, the flagger should tell the motorist the reason for and approximate length of the delay. Make every reasonable effort to yield right -of-way to the public and prevent excessive delay. Use an automobile or pickup as the pilot car, with the company logo prominently displayed. Equip the pilot car with a two- way radio for contact with flaggers and other pilot cars. Mount a G20- 4 sign (Pilot Car Follow Me) on the rear at least 5 feet above the driving surface. Use high intensity flashing strobe lights, oscillating beacons, or rotating beacons on all Pilot Cars. Vehicle hazard warning lights may supplement but are not permitted to be used instead of high intensity flashing strobe lights, oscillating beacons, or rotating beacons.

643-3.06 TRAFFIC PRI CE ADJUSTMENT . A Traffic Price Adjustment, under Item

643.0023.____, will be assessed for unauthorized lane cl osures or reductions. Unauthorized lane reductions will be assessed as one full lane closure, for each lane reduced without authorization Authorized lane closures and/or lane reductions are those shown in the Contract, an approved TCP, or authorized in wri ting. Unauthorized lane reductions include unacceptable roadway, pedestrian walkway or route, and bicycle route or pathway surfaces, such as severe bumps, ruts, washboarding, potholes, excessive dust or mud, and non- conforming or out of place traffic cont rol devices. Failure to install temporary crash cushions or barriers, when required according to the Contract or TCP, is 413 ALASKA 2020 also considered an unauthorized lane reduction. The Engineer will make the sole determination whether unauthorized lane reductions or c losures are present. Adjustment Rates are listed in Table 643- 3. These rates are liquidated damages which represent highway user costs, based on Average Daily Traffic (ADT). The Engineer will use the rate shown for the current ADT for this project, as pub lished in the Regional Traffic Volume Report prepared by the Department's Planning Section. Adjustment rates for unauthorized reduction or closure of each lane of pedestrian walkways or route, and bicycle route or pathway, are the same as for one full road way lane closure. TABLE 643 -3 ADJUSTMENT RATES

643-3.07 MAINTENANCE OF TRAFFIC DURING S USPENSION OF WORK . Approximately one

month before work is suspended for the season, schedule a preliminary meeting with the Engineer and Maintenance & Operations to outline the anticipated roadway condition and the work expected to be completed before shutdown. Schedule a field review with the Department for winter maintenance acceptance. At the field review the Engineer will prepare a punch list for implementation before acceptance. To be relieved of winter maintenance responsibility, leave all roads with a smooth and even surface for public use at all times. Properly crown the roadbed surface for drainage and install adequate safety facilities. Make sure all illumination and signals, including vehicle detectors, are in good working order. After the project is accepted for winter maintenance and until you are ordered to resume construction operations, the Department is responsible for maintaining the facility. The Department will accept maintenance responsibility only for portions of the work that are open to the public, as determined by the Engineer. The Department will not accept maintenance responsibility for incomplete work adjacent to accepted roads. You are responsible for maintaining all other portions of the work. The Engineer will issue a letter of “Acceptance for Winter Maintenance” that lists all portions of the work that the Department will maintain during a seasonal work suspension. You retain all contractually required maintenance responsibilities until receipt of this letter. If you suspend work due to unfavorable weather (other than seasonal) or due to your failure to correct unsafe conditions, carry out Contract provisions, or carry out the Engineer’s orders, you must bear all costs for traffic maintenance during the suspended period. When you resume work, replace or rene w any work or materials lost or damaged during temporary use. If the Department caused damage during winter suspension, payment will be made for repairs by unit pay item or in accord with Subsection 109- 1.05, Compensation for Extra Work. When the Engineer directs, remove any work or materials used in the temporary maintenance. Complete the project as though work has been continuous.

This work may include restriping the existing roadway before beginning construction, before seasonal suspension, and/or after seasonal suspension. Remove conflicting pavement markings according to Subsection 670- 3.04, P aint Removal. Pavement markings that are temporarily conflicting (markings that will be restored when construction is complete) may be removed according to Subsection 670- 3.04 or covered with black removable preformed marking tape. Mark existing roadway s ections that will be opened to traffic during the winter. Mark over the existing lines and markings, unless shown otherwise on the Plans or an approved TCP. Maintain all interim pavement markings for their intended life including reapplication when necessary. There will be no compensation to upgrade interim pavement markings required for work operations lasting up to 2 weeks. Use only temporary raised pavement markers or removable preformed retroreflective marking tape as interim pavement markings on final pavement surfaces. Completely remove and dispose of them when placing the final markings. Completely remove any residual adhesive that might misguide motorists. Place final pavement markings on finished pavement surfaces and interim pavement surfaces befor e suspending work for the winter. Stage construction to avoid routing traffic over conflicting markings for more than one continuous workshift. If traffic is routed over conflicting markings during a work shift, delineate the roadway with a complement of w arning signs, channelizing devices, and flaggers as required by the ATM. Use only temporary raised pavement markers meeting Subsection 712- 2.16 as interim markings on seal coat and surface treatment pavements. Install the markers according to the manufacturer’s instructions before applying the asphalt surface material and cover coat. Remove the vinyl protective covers after applying the asphalt pavement. On multicourse surface treatments, install the temporary raised pavement markers after applying the full width of the first layer of cover coat. Install the markers on each day's completed surface before removing the pilot car operations and allowing unescorted traffic on the surface treatment. Do not place final pavement markings until traffic has traveled over the seal coat or surface treatment for at least 14 days. Apply final pavement markings within 10 days of completing the final sweeping or brooming of the mainline seal coat or surface treatment.
