Traffic Control and Standards Sample Clauses

Traffic Control and Standards. The NHDOT will adopt in a timely manner the latest version of the national Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) as required by 23 CFR 655.603 and will submit all NHDOT proposed supplements to the FHWA for approval of substantial conformance with the MUTCD prior to implementation. NHDOT will provide and update traffic control devices on Federal-aid routes to meet the standards of the MUTCD, and approved supplements. NHDOT will develop, implement, and maintain a program acceptable to FHWA for maintaining the minimum retroreflectivity requirements in the MUTCD and for maintaining traffic control devices in an acceptable condition on Federal-aid highways. Projects on Federal-aid highways, as well as those funded with Federal-aid funds, shall only include traffic control devices in compliance with the MUTCD and approved NHDOT supplements. NHDOT will develop and maintain a policy and guidance on the use of Changeable Message Signs and the messages thereby put on them. The NHDOT policy and guidance shall substantially conform to the MUTCD and associated FHWA policy and guidance. The FHWA will work with the NHDOT on any updates to the policy and guidance and shall concur in any changes made thereto. 23 CFR 630 Subpart J provides guidance and establishes requirements for systematically addressing the safety and mobility impacts of work zones, and developing strategies to help manage these impacts on all Federal-aid highway projects through the development of project level Traffic Management Plans (TMP). The NHDOT and FHWA will partner in the development, implementation, and maintenance of policies, procedures, and processes to address work zone impacts both early on and throughout the project delivery process, and to expand work zone planning beyond the project work zone itself to address corridor, network, and regional issues. This effort also includes expanding work zone management beyond traffic safety and control, to encompass broader solutions that address the need for continued mobility during road construction, including operational and public outreach plans on project considered ‘Significant’ per NHDOT policy. The NHDOT will maintain a Traffic Control Committee (TCC) for the purpose of administering the Departments work zone safety and mobility program in conformance with 23 CFR 630 Subpart J and K. FHWA will maintain an active presence on the TCC. NHDOT will conduct a process review, at a minimum of every two years, of the Departments work zon...
