When any excavation, construction or repair
of or on any public roadway, street (excluding limited access highways,
adjoining ramps and state/federal roads) or sidewalk or the destruction
of any building within the Town of Manchester (hereinafter referred
to as "repair work") creates or may create a hazard or inconvenience
to vehicular or pedestrian traffic or in any way causes or may cause
a hazard to the public safety, as determined by the Chief of Police
or his designee, the person so engaged in any repair work must provide
adequate protection, as the Chief of Police or his designee may require.
If the Chief of Police or his designee determines that the site may
be adequately protected by placement of appropriate barricades, the
person engaged in any such repair work shall provide such barricades
and barricade warning lights as the Chief of Police or his designee
shall require.
If no police officer of the Manchester Police
Department is available to accept the extra police duty referenced
herein, and the repair work is conducive to the use of flagpersons
as determined by the Chief of Police or his designee, or in any other
instance when flagpersons are utilized, the entity responsible for
the repair work shall provide, pay for and utilize a flagperson equipped
with a high visibility traffic control vest and high visibility traffic
control flag whose sole function shall be to control vehicular and
pedestrian traffic during all hours when repair work is being done
or when a hazard to such traffic or to public safety exists.
When such police officer or flagperson has not been provided and the Chief of Police or his designee determines that a hazard to pedestrian and/or vehicular traffic exists, the Chief of Police or his designee may order the repair work closed until a flagperson has been provided in accordance with §§
279-14 through
279-17 of this article, or other appropriate action is taken as ordered by the Chief of Police or his designee.
Nothing herein shall prevent the Traffic Control
Authority from taking any and all necessary action in the time of
emergency.
