TRAFFIC REGULATIONS 01 5500-1 <br />SECTION 01 5500 <br />TRAFFIC REGULATIONS <br /> <br />PART 1 - GENERAL <br />1.01 OBJECTIVES <br />A. The Contractor shall provide for safe movement of vehicular, bicycle and <br />pedestrian traffic, including persons with disabilities in accordance with the <br />American’s with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), through and around construction <br />operations. Traffic control requirements set forth herein are the minimum <br />requirements imposed. The Contractor shall be solely responsible for providing all <br />protective measures necessary. <br />B. Proper traffic movement through the work area depends upon the driver controlling <br />and directing his/her vehicle properly under unexpected situations and pedestrian <br />attention to signs. The means of clarifying such conditions to the public include <br />signs, flaggers, pavement markings, barricades, lights, cones and delineators. <br />C. No one standard sequence of signs or control devices will suit all conditions, which <br />may result from construction operations. Even for the same work the conditions <br />may vary from hour to hour, requiring adjustment and revision of the traffic control <br />program in effect. <br />D. The traffic control requirements specified herein are intended to establish general <br />principles to be observed in the control and regulation of traffic through and <br />around construction operations anticipated for this project. All pedestrian and <br />vehicular detours are subject to review by the police chief, sheriff or enforcement <br />officer of the agencies having jurisdiction, and the Contractor shall revise the <br />detours as ordered at no additional cost. <br />E. Clean up site each day after completing work and remove all traffic hazards. Daily <br />traffic control measures shall continue until cleanup activities have been <br />satisfactorily completed and all of the Contractor's equipment has been removed <br />from the traveled way area. <br />1.02 DESCRIPTION OF WORK <br />A. Work included: <br />1. At all times, the Contractor shall provide safe and adequate passage for <br />vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian traffic through, around and adjacent to all <br />construction operations by use of detours, bridging, backfilling, paving, traffic <br />barriers or other favorably reviewed means. <br />2. The Contractor shall establish and maintain detours and conduct his <br />construction operations in such a manner as to minimize hazard, <br />inconvenience and disruption to the public.
