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 Saddle River, County of Bergen, State
of New Jersey, does hereby adopt the current Manual on Uniform Traffic
Control Devices, Current Edition, hereafter known as "M.U.T.C.D.,"
except as hereby supplemented and amended, as it controls and regulates
wherever construction, maintenance operations or utility work obstructs
the normal flow of traffic. Any person, contractor or utility who
fails to comply with the provisions of M.U.T.C.D. while performing
such work is in violation of this section.
[Added 5-15-2000 by Ord. No. 00-696-C]
A.
It shall be the responsibility of the person, contractor or in the case of a public utility wishing to conduct work on, under or above the roadway to contact the Police Department of the Borough of Saddle River, in order to arrange a pre-construction meeting to submit plans for the safe movement of traffic during such period of construction work. Any person, contractor or utility who fails to comply with this section prior to the start of such work of whose plans are not approved by the Police Department, is in violation of these Sections 205-14 through 205-14.11.
B.
Public utilities conducting routine maintenance work
need not comply with the pre-construction meeting requirement.
[Added 5-15-2000 by Ord. No. 00-696-C]
The person, contractor or utility shall provide
the Police Department 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.

B.
This time limit may be adjusted to permit work prior
to 9:00 a.m. or after 4:00 p.m. by the Police Department of the Borough
of Saddle River. If it is determined by the Department that the construction
or maintenance operations prior to 9:00 a.m. or after 4:00 p.m. on
any roadway 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.
