New York Road Conditions And Closures

The purpose of work zone traffic control is to provide a safe work area for workers within the roadway, while facilitating the safe and orderly flow of all road users through the work zone. The principles listed below provide a guiding philosophy of good temporary traffic control and enhance the safety of motorists, pedestrians and workers within and near temporary traffic control zones.

 Make traffic safety and temporary traffic control an integral and high-priority element of every project from planning through design, construction, and maintenance.

 Inhibit traffic movement as little as possible.

 Provide clear and positive guidance to drivers and pedestrians as they approach and travel through the temporary traffic control zone.

 Inspect traffic control elements routinely and modify when necessary.

 Pay increased attention to roadside safety near temporary traffic control.

 Train all persons that select, place and maintain temporary traffic control devices.

 Establish proper legislative authority to implement and enforce needed traffic regulations, speed zoning, parking controls, and incident management.

 Keep the public well informed.

 If there is a side road intersection/driveway or ramp within the work area, additional traffic control, such as flaggers and appropriate signs, may be needed on the side road/driveway approaches or ramps.
