Work Area Protection Guide Street and Utility Repairs

Abstract:

This handbook generally represents minimum requirements for typical situations.  It is not intended as a substitute for engineering judgment and may need to be altered to fit the conditions of a particular site.  At a minimum all traffic control must be in compliance with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) which contains information in addition to what is included in this guide.  Proper traffic control must be used when utility operations, or other types of road or street construction occurs on any road open to public travel.
