1.1 OVERVIEW The 1400km long NationalHighway-2 (NH-2) connectingDelhi with Calcutta is one of the most important high-densitycorridors in the country. The NH2 carries between 12,000 and 33,0000 passengercar units (PCUs) daily (1998 estimates), of which, a substantialpart (48% to 86%) of the traffic is goods traffic. The traffic volume on most of the sections is projectedto grow up to 40,000 PCUs between 2005-2010 AD and in some sections would be as high as 1,25,000 PCUs by 2015 AD. The existing highway is a two-lane carriageway,with traffic bottlenecks, various highway deficienciesas well as lack of proper facilities. To cater to such increasedhigh volume of traffic, there is an urgent needfor capacity augmentationof the highway. Capacity augmentation of the NH-2 is proposed under the Golden Quadrilateral Project (6500km highway joining Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Calcutta) of the National Highway DevelopmentProgramme (NHDP) of the Governmentof India (Gol). The widening of the NH-2 stretch betweenAgra and Dhanbad is being carried out by NHAI as part of the TNHP and GTRP, with assistancefrom the World Bank. The implementationof the contract packages to be taken up as part of TNHP has commenced (January 2001) and the GTRP implementationis to start by October 2001. This document'providesthe safety guidelines' to be adopted during construction period for the various contract packagesof GTRP.
1.2 OBJECTIVE OF CONSTRUCTIONPERIOD SAFETY PLAN Researchfrom other countries have indicatedthat accident rates are usually higher at roadwork sites and these accidents tend to involve more vehicles than are found normally operating sections of a network. Any constructionactivity causes interruptionto the normal flow of traffic. This becomes all the more serious when the construction traffic also mingles with the normal traffic. During both maintenanceand constructionwork it is importantto ensure as safe an operating environmentas possiblefor both workers and road users. Highwayconstruction activities requiretraffic to be movedthrough restrictedareas or diversions during construction operations. Detours and temporary control measures often create serious traffic hazards with resultant accidents. Specifications covering temporary traffic control measures need to prescribe in considerabledetail the respective responsibilitiesof the client and the contractor for road safety measures. During the constructionof roads, workers should follow the safety proceduresrelating to the plant they are operating, and during rehabilitation work or maintenance,where the road is still open to traffic, greatercare is needed. The objective of preparingthe safety plan is to provide a safe travel to the road users all the time of the day throughoutthe year and provide protectionto the ProjectWorkers when they are on the work. Obviously, it involves different situations on the highway including construction
Specific traffic safety and management plans/ measures to be worked out during construction shall be worked out by the contractor (based on the guidelinesspelt in this report).The contractorshall carry out these plans after the approvalof the Engineer.

zones, lane closure, traffic diversions, construction activity etc. This document incorporates requirementsfor suchsituations. The guidingprinciples for safetymeasures shall include: (i) Warning to the drivers unambiguouslyand sufficiently in advance of the situationon the highway; (ii) Providingclear demarcationfor movementof vehicles; (iii) Providing devices to guide the drivers and their movements through constructionzones/lane closures/traffic diversions etc. (iv) Protectionto ProjectWorkers on work site. Safety of the Road Users and Project Workers is of paramount importance on the Project Highway and will be the responsibilityof the contractorduring the construction period including extensionthereof, if any.
1.3 PROJECT ROAD This section presents salient characteristics of the GT Road including traffic volume, existing RoW, road inventory,accidents and safety conditions.
1.3.1 TRAFFIC The average daily traffic along GT Road ranges from the maximumof 32000 PCUs to as low as 11000 PCUs in different sections (see Table 1). By and large, traffic on most packagesvaries between 15,000to 20,000 PCUs.

1.3.2 RIGHT OF WAY Analysis of RoW along GT Road reveals a highly varied picture. Over 50% of the total length has an averageRoW width of 40-45m (nearly 203km)followed by 22% with 30-35m RoW. A substantialportion of the length,i.e., about 17.5% has a liberal RoW of about 60m or more (Table2).

In Package IIB, particularstretches where the RoW gets too narrow are between chainage 16.000 to 16,300 near Rooma, between chainage 20.800 to 21.000 near Maharajpur and between chainage 33.400 to 36.000 near Purwamir. In Package IVA, a similar narrow section is between chainage 45.9000 to 46.4000. Similarly, in Package IVC, between chainage 114.000 -127.000 and another for 200m between 131.100 and 131.300, RoW remains between 30 and 35m. In such stretches temporary acquisitions may be required during constructionstage.
1.3.3 CROSS SECTION The carriageway on the existing highway is uniformly 7m with completely absent or very narrow paved shoulderwidth varying from 0.5 to 1.5m. Earthenshoulders are sometimes as wide as 2.5m but with limited usability due to the level differencewith the carriageway brought about by erosion. Typical embankment height varies from 1.5m to 2.5m. For limited lengths, it goes up to 15m such as in Package 1IBand 4A. Table 3 provides a summaryof existing cross sectionaldetails for GTRP.

1.3.4 ROAD INVENTORY Package IA has maximumnumber of intersectionswith a total of 136 minor and five major intersections. On an average, each package has about 100 minor and 2 to 5 major intersections spread all over the stretch. In all, GTRP part of NH2 has to negotiatefive railway crossings and five ROBs. Further, there exist a total of 8 major bridges and 23 minor bridges, which either need replacement,duplication or major repairs(see Table 4).

1.3.5 ACCIDENTS& SAFETY All GTRP packages have traffic more than their capacity that results in congestion. Further, absence of median leads to conflicts between opposing streams of traffic. Any overtaking, weaving or turning manoeuvremay directly result in head-onor side collisions or other kind of accidents. It is expected that widening, provision of paved shouldersand separation of opposing flows by a broad median will result in substantial reduction of such kinds of accidents. Redesigned intersections,some of which will be grade separated, will further ensure a lesser probabilityof conflicting movements. Also, a substantial portion of GTRP, specially the one falling on Package IIB is proposedto have raised carriageway. This will ensure completeseparation of long-distanceand local traffic and provide additionalsafety.
1.4 ROAD USER SAFETYDURING CONSTRUCTION During construction such high traffic with varying constraints discussed above makes the road works highly unsafe for road users if proper measures not adopted. Hence, the following sections discusses about the safety measures/considerationsduring road works. Firstly the measures for traffic control and safety are dicussed followed by measures to prevent or avoid risks to workers.
1.4.1 SAFETY MEASURESIN CONSTRUCTIONZONE In order to plan and provide appropriate traffic managementand safety measures, it is necessary to appreciate the concept of a construction zone. A construction zone can be defined as an area of the highwaywhich involves the conflictof the right of use betweenthe road users and authority responsible for the maintenance /improvementof the highway. From traffic safety point of view, a constructionzone comprises four sub-zones described herein under:
Lea Associates 4 7W 7 ConstructionPenod Road Safety Plan Grand Trunh Road ImprovementProject
G Advance Warning Sub-Zone The advance-warning sub-zone is meant to prepare the driver for an alert behaviour and is an essential part of any traffic control system. The warning system shall prepare the driver well in advance by providing information regarding distance, extent and type of hazard ahead so that he can gradually reduce the speed of his vehicle. The information in this sub- zone is conveyed mostly through a series of traffic signs along its length.
3 Transition Sub-Zone The transition sub-zone is the area in which the traffic is steered and guided into and out of the diverted path around the work sub-zone. This is the most crucial sub-zone from safety point of view since most of the movements are turning movements. The traffic in this sub- zone is mostly taken across with the help of barricades and channelizers.
9 Work Sub-Zone This is the actual area where construction or maintenanceactivity is taking place and the main concern, therefore, is the safety of the workers at the site from the plying traffic. The path of the traffic must, therefore, be very clearly delineated to avoid intrusion of vehicles moving into the work area. The work sub-zones shall not be close to each other and the distance between the two work sub-zones shall be such that the flow of traffic can return to normal stream by permitting fast moving traffic to overtake slow moving vehicles. These distances shall preferably be 2 km on urban sections and 5 to 10 km on rural sections of the highway. T,he length of work sub-zone will vary. The length of warning and transition sub- zones shall be basically governed by the speed of approaching vehicles and shall be regulated as shown in Table 5 below:
Table 5: Recommended Length of Construction Zones Average Speed Length of Advance Length of Transition Length of Work Sub- (kph) Warning Sub-Zone(m) Sub-Zone(m) zone (m) 50 100 50 51-80 100-300 50-100 Varies 81-100 300-500 100-200 Over 100 1000 200-300
® Termination Sub-Zone
An information sign board shall be erected to inform road user of the end of Construction Zone.
1.4.2 TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES The traffic across these sub-zones is guided and taken with the help of various traffic control devices erected at the site. Traffic control devices in the construction zones perform the crucial task of warning, informing and alerting the driver apart from guiding the vehicle movements so that the driver of the vehicle as well as the workers on site are protected and safe passage to the traffic is possible.
The primary traffic control devices used in work sub-zones are signs, delineators, barricades, cones, pylons. pavement markings, flashing lights etc. They shall be such that they are easily understood without any confusion, are clearly visible during day and night, conform to the prevailing speeds in immediate vicinity, stable against sudden adverse weather conditions and are easy in installation, removal and maintenance.

specifications112.4 also stipulatesthe requirement of barricades, signs, markings, flags, lights and flagmen as may be requiredby the Engineerfor the informationand protectionof traffic approachingor passingthrough the section of the highwayunder improvement.Since the specificationsare silent about the specificationsof barricadesand other accessoriesthe quality of control devices is left purely to the discretion of the contractorand the Engineer.It is because of this reason that the traffic control in construction zones suffers from utter deficiencieswith resultanthazardous situations.
0 Signs The construction and maintenancesigns fall into the same three major categories viz. regulatorysigns, Warning signs and Guide signs as other traffic signs do. The IRC: 67-1977 (Code of Practice for Road Signs) gives a comprehensivelist of traffic signs to which the size, colour and placementof signs shall conform. These signs shall be placed on the left hand side of the road. Some of the common type of signs, which shall be provided in constructionzones, are discussedin the followingparagraph and shown in Figure 1
03 Regulatory signs Regulatory signs mean legal restrictions on the traffic. They shall be used only in consultationwith the local police and /or authorities. The most commontypes for the use in constructionzones are "Do not Enter","Road Closed", Give Way to Pedestrian",Speed limit etc.
0 Warning Signs The most common type of warning signs to alert the drivers of the possibledangers ahead in construction zones are "Lane Closed", "Diversion to other Carriageway", "Divided CarriagewayStarts", "Divided CarriagewayEnds" and "Two Way Traffic" etc. Sometimesit might be advisable to explain these signs with the help of a rectangulardefinition plate of size appropriateto the size of warning triangle and placed 0.15 m below, from the bottom of the triangle. c3 Guide Signs
Guide signs in constructionzones shall have different backgroundcolour than the normal informatorysigns of IRC: 67-1977.These signs shall have black messagesand arrows on yellow (Traffic Yellow of IS: 5-1978) background. The commonly used guide signs are: "Diversion","Road Ahead Closed"and "SharpDeviation of route' etc.
Delineators These channelisingdevices such as cones, traffic cylinders,tapes, drums are placed in or adjacent to the roadway to guide the drivers along a safe path and to control the flow of traffic. These shall normally be retro-reflectorised for night visibility. IRC: 79-1981 (RecommendedPractice for Road Delineators)gives details of some of the delineators.The other delineatorsare discussedin following sections: Traffic Cones and Cylinders:Traffic cones shall normally be 0.5m to 0.75m high and 0.3m to 0.4m in diameter or in square shape at the base. These are mostly made of plastic or rubber with retro reflectorisedred and white band and have suitable anchoring so that they are not easily blown over or displaced,it might be preferableto use doublecones, one over the other. The cones shall be placed close enough together to give an impression of the
Lea Associates 6 ConstructionPenod Road Safety Plan Grand TrunkRoad ImprovementProject
continuity.The spacing shall be 3m (close) to 9m (normal). Larger size cones can be used for high speeds or where more conspicuous guidance is required.
Drums: Empty bitumen drums (made of metal) cut to the required height can be used as channelising devices since they are highly visible, give the appearance of being formidable objects, thereby commanding the respect of the drivers. These drums can also be of plastic, which are lighter, easy to transport and store. As delineators, these drums shall be about 0.80 to lm high and 0.30m in diameter. They shall be painted in circumferential strips 0.10 m to 0.15 m wide, alternatively in black and white colours. Barricades: Whenever the traffic has to be restricted from entering the work areas, such as excavations or material storage sites so that protection to workers is provided or there is a need for separating the two-way traffic, barricades can be used. The barricades can be portable or permanent type and can be made of wooden planks, metal or other suitable material. The horizontal component facing the traffic is made of 0.30 m wide wooden planks joined together and painted in alternate yellow and white strips of 0.15 m width and sloping down at an angle of 45 degree in the direction of the traffic. BarricadeTypes II and I are portable type useful for small works and Type IlIl is permanent type, suitable for major work areas. Suitable support or ballasting shall be provided so that they do not over turn or blown away in strong winds. In case of a permanent type barricade, a gate or movable section shall be separately provided to allow the movement of construction/supervision vehicles. Flagmen: In large construction sites, flagmen with flags and sign paddles shall be effectively used to guide the safe movements. The flags for signalling shall be 0.60 m x 0.60 m size, made of a good red cloth and securely fastened to a staff of approximately 1m in length. The sign paddles shall conform to IRC: 67-1977 and provided with a rigid handle.
1.5 CONSTRUCTIONSCHEDULE The alignment has been aligned north, south or middle, Length of the largest section is about 7km and the lowest is 100m to minimise damage or disruption to roadside properties. Alignment options proposed for GTRP is summarised in Table 6

1.5.1 RURAL SECTIONS The 4 laning proposed in rural sections in all the packages is mostly asymmetricaleither on left or right side of existing road. The median width proposed is mostly 5m. In such cases the widening on any of two sides of existing road will not hamperthe traffic flow significantly except for the non-availabilityof partial shoulder width for use in emergency besides reduction in speed due to interventionsfrom constructiontraffic. Actually the shoulders in certain packages have 1.5m wide paved shoulder while in remaining packages the shouldersare earthen and their width varying from 1 to 1.5m.Thus at the time of wideninga continuouslongitudinal barrier shall be provided on shoulder about lm away from the edge of main carriageway. Besides delineators shall be provided at 25m interval with reflectors for guidance at night. In addition, advance informationshall be provided for the traveling public about the construction activity so that they become more alert. Similarly when the traffic is required to be diverted to new carriageway for carrying out strengthening/reconstruction,necessary advance information needs to be provided about the diversion of traffic from existing road to new road. The vital aspect to be kept in view during construction is to minimize discomfort to normal traffic with this in view, it will be prudent to widen the continuouslength of rural section from one urban area to the other one and thereafter strengthening/rehabilitationof existing road taken up in short stretches from one median opening to the other normally kept about 2 km apart. Thus the sequence of constructionin rural sectionshall be as summarizedbelow: i) The eccentric widening of existing 2 lane carriageway shall be completed in the first instance for the entire stretch spanning between two urban areas progressivelytaking 5 km stretch at a time (MoST clause 112.2) . During this phase, signs/barricading shall be as shown in FigureNo. 2 ii) Strengthening/reconstructionof existing 2 lane to be taken up after the completion of 2 new lanes in segments spanning between consecutive median openings. Layout of signs and safety measuresfor this constructionphase shall be as illustrated in Figure No. 3 iii) Widening to 4 lanes and also strengthening/rehabilitationof existing 2 lanes in the same stretch shall not be taken up simultaneously. iv) In case of any hold up in the progress of eccentric wideningdue to any unforeseenreason before reachingthe next urban area as suggested in (i) above, the strengthening/reconstructionof the existing road can be started in the stretch already 4 laned between one median opening to the next median opening progressively. Such situations may arise requiring diversion of traffic for cross over from the new carriageway to the existing 2 lane carriagewaywhen constructionof new carriageway is done in stretches, during which traffic safety measures as shown in Figure No. 4 shall be adopted. v) In case of 6 laning, 3 new lanes will be constructed in the first instanceand thereafterwork on existing 2 lanes will be started In case of strengtheningan additional one lane will be added and thereafter overlay in the entire width provided. In case of
o.a Associates d 2= Construction Period Road Safety Plan Grand Trunk Road Improvement Project
reconstruction, the existing pavement will be dismantled and pavement for 3 lane reconstructed in one go.
1.5.2 URBAN SECTIONS The urban sections along the project road are given in Table 7. The widening in these urban sections is symmetrically planned with main dual carriageway generally at elevated level and services roads at ground level to cater to local traffic.

In such situations service roadsand drains on both sides will be taken up first and thereafter the work of main dual carriagewaytaken by diverting the through traffic to service roads. Thus the sequenceof constructionin urban areas will be as follows. i) Services roads and side drains on both sides will be constructedfirst permitting the normal flow on the existing 2 lane road. The constructiontraffic in the work zone shall be safely segregatedfrom the main stream traffic by erecting appropriate signs at the beginningof the work site. Also on return it will be amalgamatedwith the mainstreamtraffic by erecting appropriate signs at the end of the work site. It shall be ensuredthat there shall be designated entry and exist points duly designed so as to avoid haphazardentry or exist of construction traffic. Conflictingturning movements. Figure No. 5 illustrates the safety measures to be taken during the stage of construction(stage-I) in urban sections. ii) On completion of the service roads on both sides, the main traffic will be diverted on them directionwiseand the existing 2 lanes will be widenedto 4 lanes duly accountingfor the width of central median at elevated level as per design after constructing retaining walls on both sides. However, if the road level is not to be elevated, the existing road may be widened to two lanes on each side upto the existing road level and strengtheningtaken up thereafter on each side for the full width of 2 lanes includingpaved shoulder if any after constructinghub stones for the median. During this stage, position of different signs! delineators/barricadesto ensure safety of workers and road uses shall be as illustratedin Figure No. 6.
1.5.3 DETOURON TEMPORARYDIVERSION
In the cases of major repairs or reconstruction of cross drainage structures on a highway section, damageddue to flood etc., the traffic may have to passon a diversion, moving parallel to the highway. A list of bridges along the project corridor is given in annexure lwhile Annexure2 gives list of proposedGrade separatorsin GTRIP
Lea Associates 10 =gs ConstructionPenod Road Safety Plan Grand TrunkRoad ImprovementProject
A temporary diversion road shall basically satisfy the following requirements: i) it shall have smooth horizontal and vertical profile with smooth vertical and horizontal curves; ii) it shall not get overtopped by flood or drainage discharge under any conditions; iii) it shall have adequate capacity to cater for the diverted traffic; iv) it shall be dust free and shall ensure clear visibility at all times of day and night; v) It shall be provided with the required safety standards ; and vi) It shall be provided with suitable barricades to prevent intrusion affecting the movement of the traffic.
The warning for the construction ahead shall be provided by the sign "Men at Work" about 1 km earlier to the work zone. In addition, a supplementary plate indicating "Diversion 1 km ahead" and a sign "Road Closed Ahead" shall be placed. "Compulsory Turn Right/Left Sign" shall follow it. The 'Detour" and "Sharp Deviation" sign shall be used to guide the traffic onto the diversion. Hazard markers shall be placed just where the railings for the cross drainage structures on the diversion starts.
1.6 SAFETYOF WORKERSAT SITE
1.6.1 HIGH RISK ACTIVITIES Some of the construction activities to be carried out on the project road having accident risk potentials are:
> Construction works
' Soil Excavation
> Use of Explosives
> Demolition
> Hoisting
' Working on Heights
> Bituminous Roads Construction Works mostly include bridges, embankments, utility relocation and compound walls etc. The major hazards associated with them are
1) Design
2) Collapse
3) Fall
4) Fire
5) Electric shock The accidents during soil excavations are mainly due to
1) Inadequate shoring
2) Under cutting
3) Drowning
Lea Associates 70 ConstructionPeriod Road Safety Plan Grand Trunk Road ImprovementProject
4) Fall of loose Boulders 5) Collapse 6) Loadingof Truck The accidentin Use of Explosivesare mainly due to 1) Transport 2) Storage 3) Handling 4) Disposal 5) Misfire 6) Welding The causes of accidentsin demolitionworks during site clearanceare 1) Collapse 2) Fall of roof, slab, truss, boulders The reasons for accidentsin hoistingmaterials are 1) Misuseof the hoist 2) Faultyerection 3) Lack of the wire ropeinspection While working on heights,fall is the main cause of accidents. During Bituminousroad constructionaccidents occur becauseof 1) Lack of signaling betweenthe driver and the cleaner 2) Lackof Use of personalprotective equipment Someof the other causes of accidentsare 1) Lack of supervisionduring construction/erection/welding 2) Lack of training 3) Negligence 4) Haste for completingthe work early to get more profit 5) Adoptingshortcut and risky methodsetc...
1.6.2 REMEDIALMEASURES Some of the remedialmeasures for such accidents,for both managersand workers are listed below For Managers 1) Strict supervision 2) Due respect to safety rules, regulationsand implementation 3) Good accidentfree constructionplan 4) Trainingto workers and staff
Lea Associates 1 2 Construction Period Road Safety Plan Grand Trunk Road Improvement Project
5) Provide personalprotective equipment to workers and make its use compulsory 6) The managementmust discloseits safety policy to all the workers For Workers 1) Use personalprotective equipment 2) Use right equipmentfor rightjob with safety devices 3) Properstorage of explosives 4) Avoid risky and hasty methods 5) Pay respectto safety rules Other than the measures mentionedabove, the specific measures to be adoptedwith respectto each hazardous/highrisk activity is listed in table below. Safety of the Project Workers at site during duty hours is the responsibility of the contract. It shall be ensured by him that safety measures appropriate for the job a workman performs shall be provided.Also, safety measures against accidents of the Workmen by the traffic using the highwayand/or diversionsshall be taken. The contract shall provide Helmets and protectve Chest Vests to its Workmen at site and make it compulsory for them to wear the same. The contract shall insure the entire project Workmen againstaccident. Labour Laws in force shall be followed.
1.7 REPORTINGSYSTEM As per the Most clause 115 and 111.2.1, prior to the start of the construction activities at site, the contractor shall,within 30 days after the date of the letter of acceptance, submitto the engineer for approval, the detailed construction methodology including mechanical equipment proposed to be used, sequence of various activitiesand schedule from start to the end of the project. The methodologyand the sequence shall be so planned as to provide proper safety, drainage and free flow of traffic. The present document should be well incorporatedin the same. Along with that a monthlyreporting format is proposed for each type of traffic control and safety arrangementsalong the projectcorridor. The formatsare attachedin the end.
1.8 QUANTIFICATION As per the ToR the consultantsare required to plan and design for additional items of work to ensure adequatesafety of road users during the constructionperiod complete with BOQ and technical specifications.Planning and designing for additionalitems of work concerning safety can be tentativelyworked out for various packages on the basis of assumptionsin regard to constructionprogramme. However, the contractor may or may not be able to stick to this assumed programme of construction and the quantification done may become unrealistic. The additional items of cost involved for safety measures are signs, barricades, flagmen and marking as is evident from the note given. Signs and barricades will be shifted progressivelyas the work advances linearly. It will be difficult to make such items as pay items as the cost of such items is not so substantial to be treated as pay items. In view of this it is felt that the contractorshould accountfor this extra expenditurein various items and
13 Lea Associates ConstructionPenod Road Safety Plan Grand Trunk Road ImprovementProject
extra BOQ may be dispensed with. However the contractor shall be bound to follow all safety measures.
1.9 CONCLUSIONSAND RECOMMENDATIONS IRC is coming out with an exhaustivepublication (IRC:SP 55-2000)regarding Traffic Control Measures in construction zones and would become a very useful document for adoption during construction/maintenanceof highways. This document is in the press for printing. Similarly the IRC code for Traffic Signshas been revised (IRC 67:2000) and is beingsent to press for printing by the IRC. NHAI has included in their Model ConcessionAgreement (MCA) the safety requirementsto be observed during construction and maintenance.It is proposedthat these documentsshould also be incorporatedas part of the specificationsto be included in the contract document. The WB standard bidding documents require the contractorsto give a detailed note outlining bidders proposed methodologyand programof construction, backed with equipment planning and deployment, duly supported with broad calculations and quality control procedures proposed to be adopted, justifying their capability of execution and completionof the work as per technical specificationswithin the stipulated period of completionas per milestones. (Clause5.3 of Bidding data). This clause should be applied highlighting the obligation of the contractor to ensure Traffic Control Measures as specified in specificationsat no extra cost so that he stands committed to adrere to the traffic safety requirementsduring construction. The project engineer should devote sufficient time to ensure maximum effectiveness of temporary traffic control arrangementsand safety plan for workers. Deficienciesin traffic control plan will often become apparent by a repeated visit of the area by the Project Engineer and also by observing the reaction of public driving through the area. This is particularly true during hours of darkness under various weather conditions and at times calls for changes in Traffic Control Management.Temporary traffic signs causing confusion and driving hazards to the traveling public, needs to be avoided. Table 8 details a constructionperiod safety plan for workers.
