activities cause workers to be adjacent to or in actual vehicular traffic. Further, our work may also expose
pedestrians or bicycle traffic to hazard, and this program will address that issue as well. Obviously, we are
concerned that our materials, tools, equipment, etc. could cause damage to vehicles or cause injury to the public
when our work encroaches into accessible areas. But we are most concerned about the health and safety of
our workers who may work in these hazardous conditions.

Our first and most important objective is to ensure a high level of safety for our workers, other
workers, and the public.
Our second objective is to minimize adverse traffic impacts associated with construction in terms
of delays and congestion, noise, and other environmental impacts, to ensure a high level of
satisfaction by our ultimate customer – the public.
Our third objective is the identification of specific risk factors associated with individual projects
that present traffic hazard conditions and the development of countermeasures to mitigate
those hazards to minimize the risk.
Program Goals
x No workers or others will be seriously injured because of traffic accidents in our work zones,
regardless of the cause of the accident.
x No members of the public traveling through our work sites will be injured because of traffic
accidents caused by or made more serious by our work or traffic control operations.
x Traffic delays and congestion associated with our work activities will be held to the minimum
level that can be achieved, consistent with the traffic volumes through the project, the
characteristics of the roadway where the work occurs, and the nature of the work operations
that must be completed.
x Interference with businesses and other activities adjacent to the project will be held to a
Minimum, consistent with traffic volumes, roadway characteristics and work operations.
x Traffic controls will be carried out in a manner that ensures that emergency services in and
through the project can be delivered in a timely manner, and transit operations will not be
disrupted.
x Traffic controls will be conducted in a manner that provides us with adequate access to the work
area to complete the planned work on schedule, in compliance with quality requirements of the
contract. Efficient delivery of materials and equipment to work sites will be available.
x All traffic control operations will be in full compliance with the terms and requirements of the
construction contract and/or in keeping with current States and Federal traffic control standards.
Full understanding of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) may be necessary
to fulfill these requirements. Temporary Traffic Control Part 6 refers to the traffic control
procedures and methods to be followed, and additional state addendums may apply.
