Department’s Work Zone Education Verification App (WZ -EVA) prior to the qualified work zone installer or flagger performing any traffic control duties on the project. For more information about WZ -EVA, see the Work Zone Safety Training webpage. 1101 -15 VEHICULAR ACCESS Maintain continuous and safe vehicular access, including but not limited to, all residences, businesses, schools, police and fire stations, hydrants, other emergency services, hospitals and mailboxes. Conduct operations so as to limit the inconvenience to property owners. 1101 -16 PEDESTRIAN ACCESS Maintain pedestrian access at all times as shown in the TMP . When existing continuous pedestrian facilities are disrupted, closed or relocated, provide temporary facilities that are detectable and include accessibility features consistent with the features present in the existing pedestrian facility. Temporary pedestrian facilities constructed for maintaining pedestrian access during construction shall be made of concrete, asphalt or other suitable material as approved by the Engineer. If establishing or maintaining a temporary pedestrian facility is not feasible, alternate methods for providing pedestrian accommodations may be used, such as a pedestrian transport service or a dedicated traffic con trol employee to assist and direct pedestrians around the work area for short duration disruptions. The work zone supervisor is responsible for the implementation of the TMP, and installation and maintenance of the ADA compliant pedestrian traffic control devices. The work zone shall be inspected weekly or as directed by the Engineer . Do not have any abrupt changes in grade or terrain that could cause a tripping hazard or could be a barrier to wheelchair use. Provide ADA compliant channelizing devices that are detectable to pedestrians who have visual disabilities. Do not sever or move pedestrian facilities for non -construction activities such as parking for vehicles and equipment. Separate pedestrian movements from both work zone activity and vehicula r traffic.
