(A) Traffic control and protection measures are required during construction. A traffic control plan shall be included within the engineering plans and specifications submitted to the WCDOT. Should adequate traffic control measures not be in place, a representative of the WCDOT has the authority, but not the duty, to halt the construction until such time as the traffic control measures are corrected.
(B) The first infraction will result in the halting of construction until such time as traffic control measures are corrected. The second infraction will result in the halting of construction for the remainder of that day. Traffic control measures must be established prior to the start of the next workday. Should there be a third infraction, the permit shall be revoked and there shall be a meeting with the permittee, resident engineer/person in charge, and WCDOT to discuss what measures will be taken to reinstate the permit.
(C) The WCDOT shall have the ability to assess a fine in accordance with § 56.033 for any infraction of traffic control requirements.
(D) The resident engineer/person in charge shall notify the WCDOT, of any upcoming lane closures (48 hours prior) and immediately when the lane is reopened to traffic. Closures of a travel lane for permitted work may be restricted based on the time of day, the time of year, or location. Exceptions to this policy may be granted by the WCDOT on a case by case basis through the permit review process. Temporary closures for emergency repairs, natural disasters, or other emergency conditions are exempt from these requirements.
(E) Any full closure of a county highway for any period of time shall require approval from WCDOT. All closure and detour signs shall follow the MUTCD and relevant IDOT standards. All closure signage must be up at least two weeks prior to closure of the county highway. The County Engineer may waive this requirement in case of emergency closures.
(F) Parking or storage of vehicles, materials, or equipment within the county right-of-way will not be allowed unless otherwise specified in the permit documents.
