section.

vehicles, or equipment are to be placed in the roadway or sidewalk
area until all construction signs, lights, devices, and pavement markings
are installed in compliance with the provisions of the M.U.T.C.D.
h. Emergency Construction. In the case of emergency repair work where
construction, maintenance operations or emergency utility work must
be performed that will obstruct, interfere with, or detour traffic
on any roadway in the Township, the person, contractor, or utility
performing such operation shall notify the Mahwah Police Department
of such emergency operation. The person, contractor, or utility shall
disclose the nature of the emergency, location and hours of operation.
All emergency construction and maintenance operations shall
be performed with full regard to traffic safety and conducted in such
a manner as to keep traffic interference to an absolute minimum. During

comply with the provisions of the M.U.T.C.D. while performing such
emergency repair work.
