(A) Utilities will take precautions to protect the traveling public. No lane closures during the peak hours will be allowed (peak hours are between 6:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m.; and 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. when school is in session). In some cases it may be necessary to perform the work during off peak times or at night.
(B) All equipment and material shall be removed from the county right-of-way, or located a minimum of 30 feet from the edge of the existing traveled pavement when there is no practical alternative. Equipment and material stored closer than 30 feet from the pavement must be protected by temporary concrete traffic barriers.
(C) Private automobiles and non-essential construction vehicles shall not be parked on county rights-of-way. It shall be the responsibility of the permittee to transport workers to the job site from a separate parking facility procured by the permittee.
(D) Mud or debris tracked or spilled on the roadway shall be removed promptly, and precautions shall be taken, especially in freezing temperatures, to keep water off the traveled lanes.
(E) Appropriate protective measures approved by the County Roads Department, including warning signs and barricades, shall be placed at all excavations.
(F) Excavations in the roadway, shoulders or sidewalks, shall not be left open overnight, or at any time when work is not in progress in the immediate area. Steel plates may be used over excavations at locations approved by the County Roads Department.
