Work Zone Safety
Reference: A-16
Portable concrete barrier will be used when required by GC or long-term protection of workers
in the work zone is needed. Appropriate warning and signage will be required.
All barriers must be in good condition to present displacement when impacted.
Vehicles will be installed with warning beacons, flashers and markings as required in accordance
with MUTC requirements.
Reflective markings and beacons must be kept in good condition and cleaned often to assure
maximum visibility.
Work Zone Layout

Many situations follow “typical”” MUTCD requirements and details should be followed
specifically. The type of Temporary Traffic Control Guide layout should be clearly identified in
the traffic control plan and appropriate page, or diagram reference should be made to MUTCD.
Contract specifications or permit documents will typically include drawings or diagrams showing
setups to be used for lane closures, flagger stations, shoulder closures and other typical set ups.
This specification must be followed and referenced in foreman daily logs.
Significant deviations from contract or permit layouts should be reviewed with GC and signed off
before implementation.
Almost all layouts will require some minor modifications based upon actual site conditions. The
foreman, supervisor or delegate in charge will make the minor adjustments required, but it is
expected that changes err on the side of additional warnings and be in the best judgment of the
foreman, supervisor, or delegate. Any changes should be documented on the daily log. These
adjustments would include:
o Minor shifts in sign location (10 percent or less) to avoid driveways, intersections,
other devices and to improve visibility.
o Minor shifts in start point and length of tapers (10 percent on length, 100 ft on
start point to avoid intersections and other conflicts and to improve sight distance.
o Add supplemental signs on the left side of the road to improve visibility.
o Reduce spacing of channelizing devices at potential problem areas
o Other minor changes to address obvious concerns.

Any non-typical situation should be reviewed with a traffic control qualified person or engineer,
and the layout document should be reviewed with a traffic control qualified person or engineer,
and the layout document should be fully documented. Written plan should be maintained on
the site for ongoing crew review for adherence to requirements.
Additional conditions may require further devices, including “pavement ends” or “bump” signs.
These should be provided and documented in the plan.
