[Amended 4-11-2023 by Ord. No. 1707-23]

A. Traffic controls for street and highway construction and maintenance operations; adoption of Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for streets and highways.

(1) The Committee 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.

(2) The Township of Hazlet, in the County of Monmouth, State of New Jersey, does hereby adopt the current Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, 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 fails to comply with the provision of MUTCD while performing such work is in violation of this section.

B. Preconstruction meetings.

(1) 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 Superintendent of the Public Works Department and Hazlet Township Police Department in order to arrange a preconstruction meeting to submit plans for the safe movement of traffic during such period of construction or work. The Preconstruction meeting and submittal of plans shall take place a minimum of five working days' prior to the requested start of such work. The Chief of Police, or his designee, shall have discretion for the scheduling of such meeting if requested within five working days to the requested start of such work or during emergency situations. Prior to the start of construction operations, the contractor shall assign a supervisory-level employee to serve as the Traffic Control Coordinator. The Hazlet Township Police Department shall be notified as to the name of this individual, along with a method of contacting the individual on a twenty-four-hour, seven-day-a-week basis, before or at the preconstruction meeting. Any person, contractor or utility who 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 Hazlet Police Department is in violation of this section.

(2) Public utilities conducting routine maintenance work need not comply with the preconstruction meeting requirement.

C. Emergency contact telephone numbers.

(1) The person, contractor or utility shall provide the Traffic Bureau with at least two emergency phone numbers to be called in case of emergency problems or hazardous conditions 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 Township may respond to correct such hazardous condition. The reasonable fees for such emergency services by the Township shall be charged to the person, contractor or utility responsible for such condition.

D. Hours.

(1) There shall be no construction, maintenance operations or utility work on any roadway in the Township before the hour of 7:00 a.m. or after 4:00 p.m. This time limit may be adjusted to permit work prior to 7:00 a.m. or after 4:00 p.m. by the officer in charge of the Hazlet Township Police Department. If it is determined by the officer in charge that the construction or maintenance operations prior to 7:00 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 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Approval to work outside of the Township permitted work hours must be given prior to scheduling and/or start of the construction, maintenance operations or utility work.

E. Road closings and detours.

(1) The Hazlet Township Police Department and/or the Township Engineer is hereby authorized to provide by regulation for the establishment of a work zone, including but not limited to the detour and/or closing of any street or portion thereof to motor vehicle traffic, whenever they find that such closing is necessary for the preservation of public safety, health or welfare.

(2) All street closings shall be discontinued and the area under construction reopened to traffic at the conclusion of a work day until work begins the following work day. This shall include the contractor ensuring that all of his or her equipment and materials are removed from the roadway, the road clear of debris and all raised manholes, inlets, and other appurtenances have traffic control devices (i.e., drums) placed over them. In the event that the manhole, inlet or other appurtenance is in the middle of a travel way and the placement of a traffic device would impede the flow of traffic, the manhole, inlet or other appurtenance shall be ramped with fresh bituminous material (either cold or hot mix), and the use of millings to perform this operation shall not be permitted.

(3) The foregoing provisions shall not apply to a contractor that obtains approval to maintain a street closing on a twenty-four-hour basis, which shall be subject to regulations set forth by the Hazlet Township Police Department and/or Township Engineer.

(4) The Township shall not be liable for any actions or omissions by a contractor relating to performance of requirements set forth under this section, and the Township shall retain all immunities it possesses under all applicable laws, including but not limited to the New Jersey Tort Claims Act, N.J.S.A. 59:1-1 et seq.

F. Traffic directors.

(1) Traffic directors shall be posted at all construction or maintenance sites when determined by the Hazlet Township Committee or its designee that same is necessary to provide for the safety and expeditious movement of traffic.

G. Stop work.

(1) The Hazlet Township Committee or its designee shall have the authority to stop work, including the removal of equipment and vehicles, stored material within the street right-of-way, backfilling of open excavations and/or other related work in order to abate any nuisance, traffic delay and/or safety hazard or for any violation of this section.

H. Site preparation.

(1) It is to be expressly understood that no materials, vehicles or equipment are to be placed in the roadway or sidewalk until all construction signs, light devices and pavement markings are installed.

(2) The contractor shall be responsible for maintaining driveway access for all adjacent property owners. In the event that driveway access must be temporarily denied, the contractor shall provide written notice to the Hazlet Township Police Department and affected property owner(s) at least five working days in advance of the driveway closing.

(3) The contractor shall present to the Hazlet Township Police Department's Traffic Safety Unit all traffic control devices and materials necessary to execute proper maintenance and protection of traffic operations for the project, as well as the number and type of traffic control devices deemed necessary by the Hazlet Township Police Department's Traffic Safety Unit. The contractor shall have all traffic control devices and materials present for examination at least five working days' prior to the start of work.

(4) All traffic control devices supplied are to be new or in satisfactory condition. Traffic control devices damaged under the work contract as a result of carelessness or mishandling by the contractor (i.e., running over cones or barrels with his equipment or splashing tar on traffic control devices, etc.) shall be replaced by the contractor within five working days.

(5) The Hazlet Township Police Department's Traffic Safety Unit reserves the right to reject any traffic control device which, in its sole discretion, does not satisfy the criteria of M.U.T.C.D. specifications, is damaged, or is otherwise incapable of providing the function for which it was intended. In such case, the contractor shall replace the deficient traffic control devices and/or materials within two working days.

(6) If the contractor completes work pursuant to a public contract with the Township of Hazlet, and the contract provides for the Township gaining possession of traffic control devices, all traffic control devices and materials used therein shall become the property of the Township at the conclusion of the contract term.

I. Emergency repair work.

(1) In the case of emergency repair work where construction maintenance operations or emergency utility work must be performed that will obstruct, interfere or detour traffic on any roadway in the Township, the person, contractor or utility performing such operation shall notify the Police Department of such emergency operation. The person, contractor or utility shall disclose the nature of the emergency, location and hours of operation.

(2) All emergency construction and maintenance operations shall be performed with full regard to safety and to keep traffic interference to an absolute minimum. During such emergency repair work, the person, contractor or utility shall comply with the provisions of the MUTCD while performing such emergency repair work.

J. Traffic control coordinators.

(1) Traffic control coordinators shall be certified by the American Traffic Safety Services Association (ATSSA) or equivalent. Certification shall be provided to the Hazlet Township Police Department prior to start of any construction when working at a construction or utility site. Township Police, or their designee, shall be posted at all construction or maintenance sites on Township roadways when determined by the Hazlet Township Police Department that it is necessary to provide for the safety and expeditious movement of traffic. All costs connected with such traffic controls shall be at the cost of the applicant/independent contractor.

K. Violations and penalties.

(1) Any person, contractor or utility who commits a violation of this section shall, upon conviction thereof for a first offense pay a fine of not less than $100 nor more than $500 and/or be imprisoned in the County jail for a term not exceeding 90 days. For a second offense, upon conviction thereof, pay a fine of not less than $250 and/or be imprisoned in the County jail for a term not exceeding 90 days.
