The purpose of this article is to establish standards for the
requirement of police officers to be present when, in the course of
the opening of the roadbed, paving of the roadbed, trimming of trees
over the right-of-way, trimming of trees on private property, repairs
or construction on public roads or the laying or repairing of sewers,
electrical telephone, gas lines, water or any type of telecommunications
equipment, cable TV or other types of underground utilities or the
installation of aboveground utilities, which would interfere with
the normal or regular flow of traffic within the Town of Rocky Hill,
or the flow of vehicular or pedestrian traffic is impeded or displaced.
In all cases, the priority shall be to provide for the safety and
security of the general public and the workers in the work zone must
be present to direct traffic on certain road traffic sites under certain
conditions. These conditions are as follows.
Whenever work described in §
212-25A is being done on high-traffic roads, the Chief of Police or his designee must be given 48 hours' notice before such work begins. Such notice must include details of the work to be done, the number of police officers required, estimated time table of the project, and the name, title and phone number of the contact person. Final decision as to the number of officers, duration of officers and usage of appropriate traffic control signage is to be made by the Police Chief or his designee prior to the start of work. In the event field conditions change, any changes to the number or duration of officers or signage must be approved by the Police Chief or his designee.
At any time there is construction in any roadway within the
Town of Rocky Hill, a drive-through or passageway shall be maintained
