In the conduct of the encroachment work, the permittee shall provide and maintain such safety devices, including, but not limited to, lights, barricades, signs, and watchmen, as are necessary to protect the public. Any omission on the part of the City Engineer to specify in the permit what safety devices shall be provided by the permittee shall not excuse the permittee from complying with all laws and regulations relating to the protection of persons under the circumstances. If the City Engineer finds that suitable safeguards are not being provided, he may provide, maintain, and relocate such safety devices as are deemed necessary, or he may cancel the permit and restore the right-of-way in accordance with existing City standards, charging the permittee in accordance with the schedule of charges adopted by the Council.
A permittee making any excavation or leaving any obstruction which could be a hazard to persons using a right-of-way shall provide and maintain warning lights far enough away from the excavation or obstruction to give adequate warning to such persons, and at not more than fifty (50’) feet intervals along the excavation or obstruction, from one-half (1/2) hour before sunset of each day to one-half (1/2) hour after sunrise the next day, until the work is completed and the right-of-way is made safe for use.
All safety devices shall conform to the requirements of the sign manual issued by the Department of Public Works of the State so far as such manual is applicable.
