Temporary Traffic Control Clause Samples
The Temporary Traffic Control clause establishes requirements for managing and directing traffic in areas affected by construction or maintenance activities. It typically outlines the contractor's responsibility to provide signage, barriers, flaggers, and other safety measures to ensure the safe and efficient movement of vehicles and pedestrians around the work zone. This clause is essential for minimizing disruptions, preventing accidents, and maintaining public safety during periods when normal traffic patterns are altered due to project activities.
Temporary Traffic Control. The Temporary Traffic Control pay item does not include work zone advance or general warning signs. Partial payments for Temporary Traffic Control will be made as follows: The cumulative total of the lump sum price for temporary traffic control will be equal to the percent complete (project) as calculated for each partial pay estimate. Additional flashing arrow boards and message boards beyond those shown in the contract, detail drawings or Roadway Standard Drawings required by the Engineer will be paid as extra work in accordance with Article 104-7 of the Standard Specifications. The work of satisfactorily installing and removing work zone advance and/or general warning signs, including, but not limited to, furnishing, locating, installing, covering, uncovering and removing stationary signs will be measured for each required sign and paid at the contract price for Work Zone Advance/General Warning Signing (SF). Payment for Work Zone Advance/General Warning Signing will be limited to a maximum of 90% of the total installed quantity. The remaining 10% will be paid once all signs have been removed. The Lump Sum price for Temporary Traffic Control will include the work of four (4) flaggers per operation per map being utilized at the same time on any day. If a pilot vehicle is used for an operation, the Lump Sum Price for Temporary Traffic Control will include the work of five (5) flaggers. The operator of a pilot vehicle will be considered one of the five flaggers. Any additional flagging beyond the “included” amount covered in the Temporary Traffic Control pay item will be considered supplemental flagging and compensated at a rate of $20.00 per hour for each additional flagger as approved by the Engineer.

Temporary Traffic Control. The City shall provide a temporary traffic control plan within the Design Plans, which includes the City’s plan for handling multi-modal traffic during Construction, including detour routes and road closings, if necessary, and installation of alternate or temporary pedestrian accessible paths to pedestrian facilities in the public Right of Way within the Project Limits. The City’s temporary traffic control plan must be in conformity with the latest version of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), as adopted by the Secretary, and be in compliance with the American Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) and its implementing regulations at 28 C.F.R. Part 35, and FHWA rules, regulations, and guidance pertaining to the same.

Temporary Traffic Control. Temporary traffic control shall be used when a maintenance or construction activity is located on the Right-of-Way or when the activity is located in the vicinity of a highway-rail grade crossing, which could result in queuing of vehicles across the railroad tracks. Temporary traffic control will comply with the current editions of the CA MUTCD, WATCH and SCRRA Engineering Standard ES4301. Refer to SCRRA’s “Temporary Traffic Control Guidelines” for further information on definitions, referenced standards, traffic control plans, submittals, traffic control elements and responsibility/authority for temporary traffic control at highway-rail grade crossings. The guidelines provide acceptable alternatives and procedures, which prescribe appropriate temporary traffic control measures at highway-rail grade crossings. The Contractor must place flagmen in the direction of the flow of traffic for each lane to assure that there is no queuing of traffic over the crossing. If after moving your work area away from the railroad right of way and queuing of traffic persists, flagmen must be reinstated at the crossing to control vehicular traffic over the crossing.
Temporary Traffic Control. The LPA shall provide a temporary traffic control plan within the Design Plans, which includes the LPA’s plan for handling multi- modal traffic during Construction, including detour routes and road closings, if necessary, and installation of alternate or temporary pedestrian accessible paths to pedestrian facilities in the public Right of Way within the Project Limits. The LPA’s temporary traffic control plan must be in conformity with the latest version of the MUTCD, as adopted by the Secretary, and be in compliance with the American Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) as amended by the ADA Amendments Act of 2008, implementing regulations at 28 C.F.R.

Temporary Traffic Control. If the DBE firm is being utilized in the capacity of only “Flagging”, the DBE firm must provide a Traffic Control Supervisor (TCS) and flagger, which are under the direct control of the DBE. The DBE firm shall also provide all flagging equipment (e.g. paddles, hard hats, and vests). If the DBE firm is being utilized in the capacity of “Traffic Control Services”, the DBE firm must provide a TCS, flaggers, and traffic control items (e.g., cones, barrels, signs, etc.) and be in total control of all items in implementing the traffic control for the project. In addition, if the DBE firm utilizes the Contractor’s equipment, such as Transportable Attenuators and Portable Changeable Message Signs (PCMS) no DBE credit can be taken for supplying and operating the items. DBE trucking firm participation may only be credited as DBE participation for the value of the hauling services, not for the materials being hauled unless the trucking firm is also certified as a supplier. In situations where the DBE’s work is priced per ton, the value of the hauling service must be calculated separately from the value of the materials in order to determine DBE credit for hauling. The DBE trucking firm must own and operate at least one licensed, insured and operational truck on the contract. The truck must be of the type that is necessary to perform the hauling duties required under the contract. The DBE receives credit for the value of the transportation services it provides on the Contract using trucks it owns or leases, licenses, insures, and operates with drivers it employs. The DBE may lease additional trucks from another DBE firm. The Work that a DBE trucking firm performs with trucks it leases from other certified DBE trucking firms qualify for 100% DBE credit The trucking Work subcontracted to any non-DBE trucking firm will not receive credit for Work done on the project. The DBE may lease trucks from a non-DBE truck leasing company, but can only receive credit as DBE participation if the DBE uses its own employees as drivers. DBE credit for a truck broker is limited to the fee/commission that the DBE receives for arranging transportation services. Truck registration and lease agreements shall be readily available at the project site for the Engineer review.
Temporary Traffic Control. The Secretary shall determine in consultation with the City and the County the manner in which traffic is to be handled during Construction. Before the final Design Plans have been completed, detour routes and street closings, if necessary, shall be agreed upon by authorized representatives of the City, County, and the Secretary, and noted on the final Design Plans. If revisions to the traffic handling plan are proposed during the progress of Construction, the City, County, and the Secretary shall approve such revisions before they become effective.
