Adoption of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control
Devices for Streets and Highways.
(1)
The Council hereby finds and declares that problems
of traffic control occur when traffic must be moved through or around
street construction, maintenance operations and utility work, above-
and 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 control and regulations directed to the safe and expeditious
movement and to provide safety for the work force performing these
operations.
(2)
The City of Long Branch 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 wherever construction
maintenance, operations or utility work obstructs the normal flow
of traffic. A person, contractor or utility who fails to comply with
the provisions of MUTCD while performing such work is in violation
of this section.
B.
Preconstruction meeting. It shall be the responsibility
of the person, contractor or the case of a public utility as required
under the public utility agreement wishing to conduct work on, under
or above the roadway to contact the Traffic Bureau of the City of
Long Branch Police Department in order to arrange a preconstruction
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
or whose plans are not approved by the Traffic Bureau of the Long
Branch Police Department is in violation of this section.
C.
Hazardous conditions. The person, contractor or utility
shall provide the Traffic Bureau of the Long Branch 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 contact
cannot be reached, or if the emergency contact person does not respond
to the call from the Police Department to correct a hazardous condition,
the City may respond to correct such hazardous conditions. The reasonable
fees for such emergency service by the City shall be charged to the
person, contractor or utility responsible for such conditions.
D.
Hours. There shall be no construction, maintenance
operations or utility work on any roadway in the City of Long Branch
before 9:00 a.m. or after 5:00 p.m. This time limit may be adjusted
to permit work prior to 9:00 a.m. or after 5:00 p.m. in the case of
an emergency or for the safety and convenience of the general public
and the Long Branch Police Department. If it is determined by the
officer in charge that the construction or maintenance operations
