(a) Minimum Requirements: The Village's minimum requirements for traffic protection are contained in IDOT's Illinois Manual On Uniform Traffic Control Devices and this Code. The Village Director of Public Works and Engineering may require that additional traffic protection measures be taken, if because of the location where the work is to be performed or because of anticipated high traffic volumes, he determines additional traffic protection measures are warranted.
(b) Warning Signs, Protective Devices, And Flaggers: The utility is responsible for providing and installing warning signs, protective devices and flaggers, when necessary, meeting all applicable Federal, State, and local requirements for protection of the public and the utility's workers when performing any work on the public rights-of-way.
(c) Interference With Traffic: All work shall be phased so that there is minimum interference with pedestrian and vehicular traffic. The Director of Public Works and Engineering may prohibit work from being performed at specified hours or on specified days where higher than usual traffic volumes are anticipated.
(d) Notice When Access Is Blocked: At least forty eight (48) hours prior to beginning work that will partially or completely block access to any residence, business or institution, the utility shall notify the resident, business or institution of the approximate beginning time and duration of such work; provided, however, that in cases involving emergency repairs pursuant to section 19-83 of this article, the utility shall provide such notice as is practicable under the circumstances.
(e) Compliance: The utility shall take immediate action to correct any deficiencies in traffic protection requirements that are brought to the utility's attention by the Village. (Ord. 0-18-25, 7-16-2018)
