[Derived from Ch. XI, Sec. 11-11, of the 1978 Code]
A. 
The Council hereby finds and declares that problems of traffic control occur when traffic must be moved through or around road or street construction, maintenance operations and utility work, above or below ground, which requires blocking the roadway and obstructing the normal flow of traffic and that such obstructions are or can become dangerous when not properly controlled. In order to better promote the public health, safety, peace and welfare, it is necessary to establish controls and regulations directed to the safe and expeditious movement of traffic through construction and maintenance zones and to provide safety for the work forces performing these operations.
B. 
The Borough of Fort Lee in the County of Bergen, State of New Jersey, does hereby adopt the current Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, 1978 Edition, hereafter known as "MUTCD," except as hereby supplemented and amended, as it controls and regulates whenever construction, maintenance operations or utility work obstructs the normal flow of traffic. Any person, contractor or utility who or which fails to comply with the provisions of MUTCD while performing such work is in violation of this article.
It shall be the responsibility of the person, contractor or, in the case of a public utility as required under the public utility agreement, Section 16:25-9.2, wishing to conduct work on, under or above the roadway to contact the Traffic Bureau of the Fort Lee Police Department in order to arrange a pre-construction meeting in order to submit plans for the safe movement of traffic during such period of construction of work. Any person, contractor or utility who or which fails to comply with this section prior to the start of such work or whose plans are not approved by the Traffic Bureau of the Fort Lee Police Department is in violation of this article.
The person, contractor or utility shall provide the Traffic Bureau with at least two emergency contact phone numbers to be called in case of emergency problems at the construction or maintenance site prior to the start of any work. If for any reason emergency contacts cannot be reached or if the emergency contact person does not respond to a call from the Police Department to correct a hazardous condition, the Borough may respond to correct such hazardous condition. The reasonable fees for such emergency services by the Borough shall be charged to the person, contractor or utility responsible for such condition.
There shall be no construction, maintenance operations or utility work on any roadway in the Borough before the hour of 9:00 a.m. or after 4:00 p.m. This time limit may be adjusted to permit work prior to 9:00 a.m. or after 4:00 p.m. by the officer in charge of the Traffic Bureau of the Borough Police Department. If it is determined by the officer in charge of the Fort Lee Police Traffic Bureau that the construction or maintenance operations prior to 9:00 a.m. or after 4:00 p.m. would substantially delay traffic or cause a safety or health hazard the work shall then be permitted only between 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
