Traffic control plans are required with every permit submittal, regardless of if a lane closure is needed. Pedestrian and cyclist control must also be provided where any sidewalk, crosswalk or bike lane will be impacted.
The traffic control plan typicals below are derived from typicals included in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways (MUTCD). These typicals may be used for permit submittals, provided that the plan matches onsite conditions and is relevant to the scope of work. A site specific, signed, and sealed Traffic Control Plan may be required as typicals do not match every onsite scenario or scope of work.
Traffic control plans must address work taking place in or near an intersection (i.e., advance warning signs shall be called out on side streets for traffic entering the work zone). Approval of traffic control plans may include additional requirements and restrictions based on the location and the scope of the request.
