The persons shall also be required to obtain a permit from the responsible person if the specifications stated in § 101.16 are applicable, with the exception of the State Department of Highways and Public Transportation conducting work on any state designated system. In these cases no permit is required. This permit must be acquired before construction is begun. Purpose of the permit is to ensure that ample consideration has been given to the effect of the construction work on the flow of traffic.
(B) It shall be the responsibility of the permit-holder to provide, erect, place and maintain all warning signs, traffic control devices and barricades required by the Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices or the responsible person. All such signs, devices and barricades should be in good condition, clean and legible and shall be of the type required by the Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices; provided that the responsible person may authorize the use of different or special devices and equipment if, in his or her opinion, such equipment will be at least as effective for its intended purpose as that set forth for such purpose in the Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. When additional regulatory signs are deemed necessary by the responsible person such signing will be installed as directed by the designated department along with such regulatory signs as are required to be provided by the city as required by the Manual.
