112.03.01 General Traffic Control. Maintain the portion of the project used by
public traffic, and adequately accommodate through and local traffic. The Department’s intent is for the traffic control plan and devices to provide the Public a safe and manageable roadway. In the event the Contractor feels additional measures are necessary to protect the work, these changes shall be discussed with the Engineer and if agreed upon will be paid at contract bid prices or added by supplemental agreement. The Department will be responsible for normal routine maintenance according to Subsection 105.11. Furnish, erect, and maintain all traffic control devices, including signs, signals, channelization devices, temporary pavement markings, pilot cars and other items necessary to maintain traffic according to the Standard Drawings, MUTCD, plans, TCP, and the ATSSA “Quality Standard for Work Zone Traffic Control Devices” manual throughout the duration of the project. All flaggers shall be trained in current MUTCD flagging procedures. Proof of training must be available for review at the Department’s request. Flagging credentials must be current within the last 5 years. The Department will specify in the Contract either to close all or a portion of the section of highway under construction to through traffic, or to maintain traffic through the project. 112-2 The Department will outline specific requirements to properly maintain and control traffic in a Traffic Control Plan (TCP). The TCP will include the traffic control scheme and phasing. The Department will consider a deviation from the TCP. Submit the proposed changes in the TCP to the Engineer in writing. If the Department approves the alternate TCP, the Engineer will remit approval to the Contractor, in writing. Make provisions for the timely passage of an emergency vehicle through the work zone. When maintaining traffic over a section of highway or a bridge, provide facilities for the safe movement of traffic at all times. Notify the Engineer before erecting traffic control devices, changing the location of devices in place, or beginning a traffic operation of any kind, except in case of an emergency. In the case of an emergency, the Engineer may direct immediate procurement of safety and warning devices as necessary to safeguard traffic. Notify the Engineer in writing a minimum of one week in advance, when it is necessary for the Department to do work such as detour signing outside the limits of the project. Place all traffic control devices starting and proceeding in the direction of the flow of traffic. Remove traffic control devices starting and proceeding in the direction opposite to the flow of traffic. Take responsibility for all damage caused by the failure of any traffic control device or person protecting it. Whenever evidence of damage is found before the job is called complete, the Engineer may order immediate removal and replacement of the damaged portion of the work. Remove all traffic control devices when they are not needed for the project. Take ownership of the devices, unless the Contract specifies otherwise. Do not mix traffic control devices, cones, barrels, grabber cones, etc., within the same project unless approved by the Engineer. Use barrels or Type II barricades for operations lasting more than three (3) days and for nighttime operations.
A.Approach Roads and Intersections. Furnish, install, and maintain traffic control devices required on approach roads and all intersecting roadways. Install these devices a minimum of 1,500 feet from the construction limits of the project. Ensure the condition of all traffic control devices conform to the ATSSA “Quality Standard for Work Zone Traffic Control Devices” manual throughout the duration of the project. Traffic control devices include channelization devices, signs, and detour signs, temporary pavement markings, and other items necessary to maintain and control traffic in the construction zone.
B.Lighting Devices. Ensure lighting devices are visible every night between sunset and sunrise.
C.Route Markers. Maintain Department owned route markers and signs that will remain within the limits of construction.
D.Pavement Openings. Barricade all pavement openings and other hazards. Provide them with warning signs that are visible at night.
E.Low Shoulder Signing. Provide these signs where the shoulders are low or where traffic diverts through channels other than the normal lanes. Provide signs for all surfacing, resurfacing, or widening project s that require maintenance of traffic adjacent to shoulder construction.
F.Signs. Completely cover existing, permanent, and temporary signs which do not properly apply to the current traffic phasing, and maintain the covering until the signs are applicable or are removed. Us e only porous cloth, geotextile fabric, or a lightweight, opaque material approved by the Engineer for sign covers. Do not apply any adhesive to the reflective sheeting. The Department will not consider tipping over portable signs or turning sign faces 90 degrees as acceptable methods. With the Engineer, review all signing before traffic uses any lane closures, crossovers, diversions, or detours. Do not begin work until the Engineer has approved all signing. Maintain all signs in good condition, including cleaning or renewing the surfaces as necessary to provide clear visibility and high retroreflectivity at all times. 112-3 Place temporary signing in locations that do not obstruct the visibility of existing signs. All signs are to be single layered. Overlay placards will not be permitted. Unless the Engineer directs otherwise, post mount all signs intended to remain in place for more than 3 days.
G.Arrow Panels. Have available one portable flashing arrow in reserve. Place the reserve arrow in operation if one is damaged or if there is mechanical or electrical failure.
H.Temporary Traffic Signals. Construct temporary traffic signals according to the MUTCD, Chapter 4D and as the Contract specifies. Submit proposed layouts for temporary signal head placement in writing to the Engineer for written approval. Use a central controller using a hard wire or radio connection to coordinate the signal indications at all approaches of the intersection. Mount the signal indications according to one of the following:
1.One signal indication on each side of the highway on each approach; 2) Two signal indications suspended on a span wire over the highway on each approach; or
3.One signal indication mounted on a mast arm or span wire above the highway with a second signal indication mounted on the right side of each approach.
I.TMAs. Mount the attenuator on a support vehicle that is in close conformity to the one it was tested with for NCHRP or MASH compliance. Prevent shifting during impact. Furnish installation details to the Engineer before installing the TMA on the project.
112.03.02 Long Term Lane Closure. A long term lane closure is defined as a lane
closure that remains for more than 3 days and is not taken down at the end of each day’s work.
112.03.03 Equipment and Traffic Control Devices Not In Use. When construction
equipment and/or traffic control devices are not in use, place them outside the clear zone, beyond the ditch line, behind guardrail, or of f existing right-of-way. The Engineer will approve these locations if they are within the existing right-of-way. The Engineer will designate specific areas within the right-of-way where personal vehicles may park. Move vehicles and construction equipment with the flow of traffic, not against the normal traffic flow. When entering and leaving the work zone, do not interfere with or cause hazard to traffic flow.
112.03.04 Temporary Facilities or Crossings. Provide and maintain temporary
facilities, including approaches and crossings in a safe condition. Provide and maintain intersections with roads, streets, trails, and en trances to businesses, parking lots, residences, and farms.

markings and raised pavement markers that do not conform to the traffic operation in use. Remove striping according to Section 713.03.04. Remove raised pavement markers according to Subsection 403.03.02. When the marker’s casting will conform to the final marking scheme but does not conform to the current traffic operation, the Department may allow lens removal in place of removing the entire marker. Additionally, when weather would prohibit patching for marker removal within 24 hours, the Department may allow lens removal until such time weather permits patching.
112.03.11 Temporary Pavement Markings.
A.Placement and Removal of Temporary Raised Pavement Markers. Place and remove temporary raised pavement markers when the Contract specifies. Install temporary pavement markers according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Replace missing or damaged temporary markers within 3 calendar days. After completion of the work, remove the markers from the job site, including the primer and adhesive. Take ownership of the temporary markers at the end of the project.
B.Placement and Removal of Temporary Striping. Place temporary striping on new construction, resurfacing, pavement re storation, pavement rehabilitation and other projects that have existing pavement markings as the Contract specifies. On interstates and parkways, and other roadways approved by the State Highway Engineer, install pavement striping that is 6 inches in width. On other routes, install pavement striping that is 4 inches in width. Ensure that all lines have clean edges with a width tolerance of plus 1/2 inch. Except on new construction or where markings do not exist, prepare and keep a written record, striping log, of the existing pavement markings locations, and furnish a copy to the Engineer at least 15 days prior to removing, covering, or obliterating the markings. 112-5 Apply temporary striping when any course of a new pavement is to be driven over by the public, including patching, milling, leveling, and wedging courses, except when existing centerline markings are plainly visible and not obscured. Install the pavement marking material for centerlines and lane lines every day before sunset that day. The Department will defer installation of edgeline markings until all shoulder paving is complete, except on Interstate and Parkway roads or when the Contract specifies otherwise. When rain or other unavoidable occurrences prevent marking before sunset, mark the pavement as soon as conditions permit. Locate no passing zones as the Engineer directs.
1.Removable Striping. Use removable striping tape when different phases of construction will require the relocation of striping to different positions on the same pavement. Relocate lane lines, edgelines, and other pavement markings as the Standard Drawings and the Contract specify. Do not use removable material as a permanent marking unless the Engineer directs.
2.Non-removable striping material. Use either tape or paint where the striping is to be covered by subsequent paving courses and for temporary paved facilities which will be removed before completing the project. Apply paint according to Section 713. Maintain the following minimum retroreflectivity requirements at all times: White: 175 mcd/lux/square meter Yellow: 150 mcd/lux/square meter Additionally, when temporary striping that is to remain in use for more than 120 days, provide striping with the following minimum initial retroreflectivity readings: White: 300 mcd/lux/square meter Yellow: 225 mcd/lux/square meter The Engineer may visually accept the markings intended for less than 120 days use but may obtain retroreflectivity readings at any time conformance to the minimum retroreflectivity readings are in doubt. When striping that is to remain in use for more than 120 days, the Department will obtain retroreflectivity readings within five days of application of temporary striping using an approved 30 meter geometry handheld or mobile retroreflectometer. The Department will determine acceptance of the temporary striping in accordance with KM-202 or KM-203 as applicable. When the Department determines the striping is not acceptable, complete corrective work within 24 hours. Maintain all markings throughout the duration of the project. Replace missing or damaged stripes or tape within 24 hours. Remove all markings placed in error or markings that do not conform to the traffic scheme in use within 24 hours.

The required qualifications of the PT C are dependent on the classification of the Project. Consider the project unclassified unl ess it is designated as Significant in the proposal. 112-6
A.For Significant Projects. Designate a qualified Work Zone Traffic Control Supervisor (WZTCS) as the PTC. Ensure the PTC is present on site when setting up, taking down, or affecting the traffic control scheme or phasing and as required by the Traffic Control Plan. The Department may allow a Work Zone Traffic Control Technician (WZTCT) to conduct traffic control reviews for maintenance purposes when under the supervision of the WZTCS.
B.For Unclassified Projects. Designate a qualified WZTCS or WZTCT as the PTC. When a WZTCT serves at the PT C, the Contractor must designate the WZTCS who will act as their supervisor and be available upon request when needed. The PTC is required to be present on site when setting up, taking down, or affecting the traffic control scheme or phasing and as required by the Traffic Control Plan. Ensure the designated PTC has sufficient skill and experience to properly perform the task assigned and has successfully completed the qualification courses.
112.03.13 Existing Signalized Intersections. Use traffic signals for the control of
traffic through presently signalized intersections . Use flaggers to expedite the flow of traffic, if directed by the Engineer or as specified in the Contract. Cover, turn, or take down all signal heads that are not in use. Clearly indicate the signals are not in operation. Install new signal conductors with sufficient slack in the cable to allow for a lateral movement of the signal indi cation of at least 15 feet in either direction from the specified location. During construction, the Department will allow the traffic signal controller to operate in the pre-timed mode using the recall ability of the signal controller. The Department will provide assistance in adjusting signal controller timing, when requested. Submit a request for assistance in writing to the Engineer. Cover and leave in place left turn signals when left turn lanes are used for through and left turning traffic. Shift through traffic signals to the left to a position that will provide visible signal indications for through and left turning traffic. When the signals are relocated, locate them within or on the projected lane lines for each lane of traffic as directed by the Engi neer. Submit proposed layouts for temporary signal head placement in writing to the Engineer for written approval. After roadway work within the intersection is completed, adjust traffic signal indications back to their permanent locations as specified in the Contract. Remove excess lengths of signal conductors and permanently connect the signals.
112.03.14 Department Ordered Opening Before Completion. When any section of
roadway is in an acceptable condition and the Commissioner determines that the public convenience demands it, the Engineer shall direct the roadway to open to public traffic. Correct construction deficiencies found during interim project inspections and final inspection. After the opened section of roadway is inspected and accepted, the Department will take responsibility for further expenditures for that accepted section.
112.03.15 Non-Compliance of Maintain and Control of Traffic. It is the
Contractor’s responsibility to conform to th e traffic control requirements in the TCP, Proposal, plan sheets, specifications, and the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices.

The Contractor will be assessed a $1,000 daily penalty or the amount equal to the contract liquidated damages in Section 108.09, whichever of the 2 is greater. The penalty for non-compliance will escalate as follows for continued non-compliance after the initial notification. 3 Days after Notification $1,500 daily penalty or 1.5 times the contract liquidated damages daily charge rate in Section 108.09, whichever is greater. 7 Days after Notification $2,000 daily penalty or double the contract liquidated damages daily charge rate in Section 108.09, whichever is greater.
B.Intermediate-term stationary work that occupies a location more than one daylight period up to 3 days, or nighttime work lasting more than 1 hour. Correct the non-compliant issue within 4 hours from initial notification by the Engineer. If the issue is not corrected within 4 hours from notification, a penalty for non-compliance will be assessed on an hourly basis beginning from the initial notification of non-compliance. The penalty for non-compliance will be assessed at $200 per hour.
C.Short-term stationary is daytime work that occupies a location for more than 1 hour within a single daylight period. Correct the non-compliant issue within 1 hour from initial notification by the Engineer. If the issue is not corrected within 1 hour from notification, a penalty for non-compliance will be assessed on an hourly basis beginning from the initial notification of non-compliance. The penalty for non-compliance will be assessed at $200 per hour. If the Contractor remains in violation of the Maintain and Control of Traffic requirements, or if the Department determines it to be in the public’s interest, work will be suspended in accordance with Section 108.08 until the deficiencies are corrected. The Department reserves the right to correct deficiencies by any means available and charge the Contractor for labor, equipment, and material costs incurred in emergency situations. 112.03.16 Roadway Condition.
