[Adopted 7-27-1987 by Ord. No. 87-27 (Sec. 11-2 of the Revised General Ordinances)]
It shall be the responsibility of the person, contractor or public utility wishing to conduct work on, under or above any roadway to contact the West Windsor Township Police Division, Traffic Safety Bureau, in order to arrange a preconstruction meeting in order to submit plans for the safe movement of traffic during such period of construction of work. Any person, contractor or utility who fails to comply with this article prior to the start of such work or whose plans are not approved by the Traffic Safety Bureau of the West Windsor Township Police Division is in violation of this article.
The person, contractor or utility shall provide the Traffic Safety Bureau with at least two emergency contact telephone 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 Division 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.
There shall be no construction, maintenance operations or utility work on any street or highway in the township before the hour of 9:00 a.m. or after 4:00 p.m. This time limit may be adjusted to permit work prior to 9:00 a.m. or after 4:00 p.m. by the officer in charge of the Traffic Safety Bureau of the West Windsor Township Police Division. If it is determined by the officer in charge of the Traffic Safety Bureau that the construction or maintenance operations prior to 9:00 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 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Traffic detours shall not be permitted unless approved by the officer in charge of the Traffic Safety Bureau.
Traffic directors shall be posted at all construction or maintenance sites when determined by the officer in charge of the Traffic Safety Bureau that the same is necessary to provide for the safety and expeditious movement of traffic.
The Traffic Safety Bureau of the West Windsor Township Police Division 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 article.
