Implementation of a statewide policy to reduce traffic delay in work zones

The Ohio DOT Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) policy applies to all individuals who plan and perform work on interstate highways and freeways. It requires practitioners to coordinate construction activities with other ongoing projects, assess the potential impacts of work zones on the length of queues, and maintain adequate traffic flow during road rehabilitation. The MOT policy also requires each district to designate a District Work Zone Traffic Manager (DWZTM) to assist in the development of a Permitted Lane Closure Map (PLCM).
