(a) The applicant shall restore, at its own cost, Borough-owned lands, roadways or rights-of-way used in its operations to the original conditions just prior to the testing operations, free of damage, including ruts or any injury to landscaping. At the Boroughs discretion, a road bond or maintenance agreement for road-based testing shall be required.
(b) The applicant shall ensure that its operations will not interfere with the free and safe flow of traffic. When operations are immediately adjacent to the pavement, all equipment shall be parked and/or operated in one lane of traffic. The applicant shall follow all applicable PennDOT traffic standards.
(c) The applicant shall notify the Borough Manager or his/her designee of any equipment to be operated on Borough streets that will exceed a maximum load limit and obtain any special permitting required.
(d) Cables placed on the pavement within rights-of-way must be arranged so they do not create a hazardous condition or rumble strip effect. All cables shall be securely anchored to the roadway with materials that will not damage and/or puncture the pavement. Nails, spikes, and similar materials used for anchors shall not be placed inside the pavement edge.
(e) Each testing crew performing work that impedes the flow of traffic such as testing on Borough streets or rights-of-way shall be accompanied by a certified peace officer provided by the applicant. The applicant shall furnish at its cost, adequate signs, barricades, flares, flagmen, etc., as necessary, to protect the traveling public.
