Are there standard levels of traffic control? Need to specify low-level traffic control for a bid.
Are there standard levels of traffic control? Need to specify low-level traffic control for a bid.
(OP)
Thanks for taking a look.
I work for a parks department and I'm writing a bid for some Term & Supply concrete work (various widths of sidewalks/trails, mow curbs, etc). In the last version of the contract, there was a line for "Traffic Control".
99.99% of the time the traffic control we would need inside a park is a couple of cones and a barricade or two route traffic to a different part of a parking lot or around the last couple feet of a sidewalk that touches an internal park drive.
It's definitely not flag men, tons of warning signs, flashing lights, etc. that you see on a street or highway.
So are there standards for different levels of traffic control that I could reference to indicate just how low key we are expecting?
Something from AASHTO or the like would be great. But even a local spec I could use as a template would be handy.
Thanks again.
