[Added 4-8-2003 by Ord. No. O-05-2003]
The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices,
hereinafter known as "MUTCD," except as hereby supplemented and amended,
is hereby adopted as it controls and regulates, whenever construction,
maintenance operations or utility work obstructs the normal flow of
traffic. Any person, contractor or utility who fails to comply with
the provisions of MUTCD while performing such work on any roadway
within the boundaries of the Township of Mantua is in violation of
this article.
No person, contractor or utility conducting
work on, under or above the roadway can do so without first receiving
all necessary permits from Mantua Township. 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 Township is in
violation of this article.
The person, contractor or utility shall provide
the Traffic 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.
Time limits, road closings and detours must
be approved before a permit will be issued by both the Director of
Municipal Services and the Traffic Bureau of the Mantua Township Police
Department. Failure to comply will be in violation of this article.
Traffic directors shall be posted at all construction
or maintenance sites when determined by the Traffic Bureau of the
Mantua Township Police Department that the same is necessary to provide
for the safe and expeditious movement of traffic.
The Mantua Township Police Department and/or
the Department of Municipal Services shall have the authority to stop
work.
