Common use of Traffic Safety Clause in Contracts

Traffic Safety. ‌ Most construction will take place within the existing public roadway ROW. As a result, site activities will require temporary modification of existing typical traffic movements, and the use of traffic- related measures protective of the traveling public, construction personnel, and cable installation equipment. Maintenance and protection of traffic for all construction activities will comply with rules and regulations included in the New York State Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (“MUTCD”) and 17NYCRR Chapter V (New York Supplement). The Certificate Holder will implement an MPT for the locations of the ROW in and along public roadways. The purpose of the MPT is to ensure safe and adequate traffic operations on the affected roads and streets. Nassau County Department of Public Works will be contacted to ensure continued safe operations of County roads in the vicinity of the proposed work areas. The Town of Hempstead, Village of Garden City, Village of Malverne, and/or Village of Lynbrook will also be contacted when work would occur in the vicinity of local roadways, as applies to each municipality. The MPT indicates temporary signage and barriers expected during the construction activity. As such, safety signage and traffic control personnel (i.e. flagmen) will be employed to verify safe and adequate traffic flow, as necessary, when roadways are affected by construction. Appropriate safety practices, including temporary barricades to prevent pedestrians from entering the construction area or the active roadway, will be implemented as identified in the MPT. A full-time Traffic Supervisor will be responsible for verifying that all site activities are performed in compliance with the MPT, with additional oversight from the Construction Supervisor.
