It shall be the responsibility of the person, contractor, or
public utility wishing to conduct work on, under or above the roadway
to contact the Traffic Bureau of the Red Bank Police Department, in
order to arrange a preconstruction meeting in order to submit plans
for the safe movement of traffic during such period of construction
or work. Any person, contractor or utility who fails to comply with
this chapter prior to the start of such work or whose plans are not
approved by the Traffic Bureau of the Red Bank Police Department is
in violation of this chapter.
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 a hazardous condition.
There shall be no construction, maintenance operations or utility
work on any roadway in the Borough before the hour of 7:00 a.m. or
after 6:00 p.m. This time limit may be adjusted to permit work prior
to 7:00 a.m. or after 6:00 p.m. by the officer in charge of the Traffic
Bureau of the Red Bank Police Department. If it is determined by the
officer in charge of the Red Bank Police Traffic Bureau that the construction
or maintenance operations prior to 7:00 a.m. or after 6:00 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 6:00 p.m.
Road closings and/or traffic detours shall not be permitted
unless approved by the Borough Police Traffic Bureau.
Regular police officers shall be posted at all construction
or maintenance sites when determined by the Red Bank Police Traffic
Bureau that same 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.
The Traffic Bureau of the Red Bank Police Department 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 and/or safety hazard or for any violation of this chapter.
