1. 1. Introduction
Purpose
1.1
The Temporary Traffic Control Manual (TTCM) was developed by the City of Regina
Traffic Branch. The purpose of this manual is to provide guidance in setting up safe
traffic control in areas with construction, maintenance, utility activities, events or other
temporary traffic conditions on the City’s right-of-way.
Scope
1.2
In order to protect workers and all road users from the inherent dangers of the work zone,
TTCM provides minimum standards based on the work area and street classification.
Contractors, Government agencies, or City crews doing work on city streets must follow
these minimum standards. In more complex situations, these plans will form the basis of
more specific, detailed design plans for traffic accommodations and when required, the
standards may be exceeded. Where there may be a conflict between these regulations and
the Occupational Health and Safety Act, the Act shall apply. TTCM will also aid
contractors and suppliers when estimating costs for traffic accommodations.
Failure to comply to the standards in this manual could result in fines according to the
Regina Traffic Bylaw #9900. The City has authority to issue a stop work order for any
work conducted on City right-of-way
Authority
1.3
Before commencing work on City’s right-of-way, Traffic Branch must be notified. The
Director of Roadways and Transportation is the final authority to set regulations for
traffic control devices for the purpose of controlling, warning, guiding, informing and
directing traffic. Any work that occurs on private property where the activity encroaches
on street right-of-way is also regulated and approved by Traffic. The authority is granted
in the Regina Traffic Bylaw #9900.
Responsibilities
1.4
The contractor and or the job site supervisor are responsible for installation and
maintenance of the temporary traffic control devices for the entire duration of work on
City right-of-way, including sidewalks and medians. Responsibilities include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Have a valid temporary street use permit, if applicable
Adhere to a City approved temporary traffic control plan
Training/certification of the workers, flag persons
Use of proper protection equipment (PPE)
Regular inspection of the site
Inform affected residents and businesses of any street restrictions or closures, if
the duration is longer than four hours, with a detailed notice approved by Traffic
Branch
8
•
Inform the City of Regina Transit, directly or through the Traffic Branch,
regarding affected bus routes
Compliance
1.5
Compliance with the standards contained in this manual is mandatory. Contractors must
inspect the work zone regularly to ensure compliance with the standards. Contractors
must be aware of the consequences for not meeting the standards. Failure to comply with
the standards may result in any or all of the following:
•
•
•
1.6
Issuance of a cease work order;
Contractor will be responsible to fix or pay to fix deficiencies
Occupational Health and Safety contacted for contravention of the Provincial
Health and Safety Act.
Disclaimer
The information presented in this publication is intended to direct those people
responsible for providing traffic accommodation in work zones. Measures included in
this manual represent the minimum requirements. These requirements may be
supplemented or modified where necessary to ensure that each particular work zone is
safe. The uniformity established throughout all roadway work zone projects will greatly
improve driver recognition, understanding, interpretation and, ultimately, safety.

2. 2. Permits and Procedures
Temporary Street Use Permit
2.1
Before construction or maintenance activities occur on or above legal road right-of-way,
the contractor or property manager shall apply for a Temporary Street Use Permit. The
permits are issued by the City of Regina Traffic Branch. An approved permit authorizes
the restriction or closure of the street or sidewalk.
2.1.1
•
Procedure
Application for Temporary Street Use Permits must be made by calling Service
Regina at 306-777-7000 or by contacting:
Service Regina
City Hall
2476 Victoria Avenue
Regina, SK
S4P 3C8

•
Applicants wishing to close or restrict any part of City street or right-of-way must
submit their completed application a minimum of 10 business days prior to
closure.
Applicants wishing to close any Provincial Highway or Highway connector
should be aware that the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure must also
approve complete street closures. This process could take from 2-6 weeks
depending on the magnitude of closure.
Depending on the length of time the temporary closure is required and
classification level of the public right-of-way, the City Traffic Branch, may
specify a time of day and/or day of the week that the closure or restriction can
occur. For example, if a contractor required complete closure of a busy street to
hoist equipment onto a building, the Traffic Branch, may request that work be
done on a Sunday or between the hours of 6:00 p.m. – 6:00 a.m., to reduce the
impact on traffic.
When street closures affect businesses located on the street to be closed, the
applicant must consider how access will be maintained during regular business
hours. It will be the responsibility of the applicant to negotiate with every
business located on the street or alley to be closed to minimize disturbance to the
business.
All Temporary Street Use Permits must be accompanied by a temporary traffic
control plan or plans showing signing details of the street or alley closure as well
as plans showing how pedestrian access will be controlled and protected. If
businesses are located on the block to be closed, the applicant shall provide
documentation that all businesses are aware of the closure and that some form of
access has been provided.
10
•
•
A copy of the permit will be forwarded to Bylaw Enforcement for enforcement of
any conditions outlined in the permit. Copies of permits involving parking
meters or parking in general will be sent to the Parking Services Branch for
enforcement.
When any city infrastructure needs to be removed (example: traffic signs,
parking meters, or traffic signal poles) to accommodate construction activity, the
city will perform the work for a fee. An Application for Service is prepared so
that the Applicant takes responsibility for all associated costs. The Applicant
must sign this document before any work commences. A work order is also
prepared to instruct the Traffic Operations group to perform the work and charge
all costs to a specific work order.
2.1.2
Regulations
The following is a list of some of the more important regulations or requirements the
applicant should consider when applying for a temporary street or alley closure:
•
•
•
•
•
•
The applicant shall provide the Traffic Branch for approval, a plan and
preliminary implementation schedule showing the work site and the applicant’s
proposal for vehicular and pedestrian traffic control.
All traffic accommodations shall conform to the Regina Traffic Bylaw 9900,
Saskatchewan Highway Traffic Act, and Saskatchewan Occupational Health and
Safety Act.
All road detours and road restrictions shall comply with the City of Regina,
Traffic Branch, Temporary Traffic Control Manual (most recent edition).
In certain cases where a prolonged closure or restriction of a major street is
required, the Traffic Branch may require the closure and proposed detour to be
published in the newspaper. The cost of these advertisements shall be paid for by
the applicant.
Any damage resulting from use of the public right of way shall be repaired to the
satisfaction of the City.
Repairs to grassed or park areas shall be completed to the satisfaction of the
Director of Open Space & Environment or designate.
2.1.3
Insurance
Minimum liability insurance of $2,000,000 is required, in a form satisfactory to the
City Solicitor. The policy shall hold the City harmless of any claim including claims
by merchants for lost business.

Fundamental Principles
2.2
The 2014 Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Canada (MUTCDC) provides
the following fundamental principles that should be followed in the work zones:
•
Traffic safety should be designed as an integral part of construction and
maintenance projects, rather than applied on a makeshift basis
•
Traffic should be rerouted when necessary in a manner which most closely
resembles normal road conditions, but, just as importantly, ensures the safety of
workers and road users
•
It is recommended that a traffic control plan be prepared in advance for any
significant projects, and approved by the road authority
•
Consideration should be given to avoiding the scheduling for work zone activities
during peak hours, typically, 7 to 9 am, 11 am to 1 pm and 4 to 6 pm
•
Traffic movement should be interfered with as little as possible. Frequent or
unnecessary changes, such as sudden lane narrowing and lane closures which
result in sudden reductions in speeds and risky maneuvering, should be avoided.
Special precautions should be taken to ensure that work zone equipment can be
operated safety without making it hazardous to passing traffic
•
Where interference is unavoidable, the movements of all road users, including
drivers, cyclists and pedestrians, should be guided in a clear and positive manner
by adequate signs, devices, markers, pavement markings and traffic control
persons, whichever control measure, or combination of control measures, is most
appropriate
•
The traffic control scheme should be checked on-site regularly by authorized
persons, to ensure that the traffic operations in the work zone are acceptable, that
traffic controls are continually updated to suit changing work zone conditions due
12
to work staging and progress, or that an immediate improvement to the traffic
control plan is made if needed
Temporary Traffic Control Plan
2.3
A well designed traffic control plan helps in ensuring higher degree of safety while
installing temporary traffic control devices in construction and maintenance areas. All
utility companies, private construction or maintenance companies, utility corporations,
and city departments working within the street right-of-way shall submit a traffic control
plan for the Traffic Branch approval before commencing the work.
On most minor projects, typical traffic control plans as given in the manual can be
applied when approved by the Traffic Branch before commencing the work. For complex
projects, a detailed traffic control plan along with phasing and schedule will need to be
developed and submitted for approval four weeks in advance of the project start date.
2.3.1
Five Components of a Work Zone (source: 2014 MUTCDC)
A well-designed temporary conditions traffic control plan should reflect the five
distinct component areas of each temporary work zone, which are:
•
•
Advance Warning Area: to inform drivers to expect road work ahead
Approach area: to inform the drivers about lane changes, speed restrictions,
passing restrictions, etc. Drivers require the information at a sufficient distance in
advance, in order to be able to adjust to the altered situation before reaching it.
• Transition Area: to move traffic out of its normal path and past the work space;
• Activity area, which includes the longitudinal buffer space, the work space, the
traffic space and the lateral buffer space; and
• Termination Area to advise motorists to resume normal driving.
An illustration of these areas is best described with the figure below:

Selecting a Temporary Traffic Control Plan
Before designing a traffic control plan, the work area required to do the work safely
must be determined. The street classification should be used in selecting the
appropriate traffic accommodation plan. Streets are classified by the amount of traffic
they carry as shown in the table below.
Street Classification
Street Classification
Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT)
Arterials
≥ 15,000
Collectors
≥ 10,000 & <15,000
Locals
<10,000
General
2.4
The procedures detailed herein apply to all utility companies, private construction or
maintenance companies, utility corporations, provincial department work crews, and City
crews working within the street right-of-way:
•
City of Regina Traffic Branch shall be informed of any work on City streets or
right-of-way a minimum of ten business days in advance, except in an emergency.
•
City of Regina Transit shall be notified if the bus stops or routes are being
affected by the construction/maintenance activities.
•
All temporary traffic control plans shall be approved by the City Traffic Branch.
•
For any work on collector, arterial streets and in downtown , the general public
must be notified by City of Regina’s website or public service announcement and
or advance information signs a minimum of one week in advance. Traffic will
approve the advertisement and sign text.
•
To minimize the effect on traffic, preference shall be given to schedule road
closures on weekends.
•
Work during peak traffic periods (7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. to 6:00
p.m.) should always be avoided where possible..
•
When possible, two-way traffic set-ups are preferred over detouring traffic to
another street. If only one lane is available, it is preferred that it is utilized and
only one direction of travel be detoured.
15
•
Traffic control devices must be set up and maintained according to drawings and
specifications provided and approved by Traffic. Any changes to traffic signals
timings or phasing shall be requested at least ten business days in advance.
•
The contractor is responsible for the supply and installation of traffic control
devices to comply with this manual.
2.4.1
Traffic Tapers and Longitudinal Buffers
A traffic taper gradually diverts traffic to an adjacent lane and thereby taking a lane
out of service or deflecting traffic into a lane normally used for parking. Traffic
tapers consist of chevron signs or barrels placed in a line that gradually forces
motorists to change lanes into the adjacent lane. An inadequate taper will almost
always produce undesirable results like lengthy traffic backups and unsafe conditions.
The longitudinal buffer, unlike the taper, consists of delineators instead of chevron
signs or barrels and is placed along the lane lines. Together with the taper, the overall
length makes up what is often referred to as the “stopping sight distance”.
The lengths were derived so that:
Taper Length + Longitudinal Buffer Length = Stopping Sight Distance
Required spacing between signs, number of devices in taper length, number of
devices in longitudinal buffer length are shown in the following table:

Situations may be encountered where the recommended values for taper lengths and
buffer space cannot be achieved within the available space. Private access and
closely spaced intersections may force taper lengths to be compromised on occasion.
However, taper lengths should only be compromised as a last resort and with the
approval of Traffic.
16
2.5
Emergencies
Where an emergency situation arises, traffic control and public communication should
not be compromised. Minimum standards must be achieved as soon as possible.
2.6
Pedestrian Considerations
In situations where work is taking place on a sidewalk, steps must be taken to ensure the
safety of pedestrians. All pedestrian facilities are important; attention will be given to the
downtown area and near schools. The following considerations shall occur to the
satisfaction of Traffic when pedestrian traffic is affected:
•
•
•
•
2.7
When work is taking place adjacent to a sidewalk, precautions must be taken to
ensure that there is no danger to pedestrians from above. This may include the
need for hoarding or scaffolding;
When a sidewalk must be closed, signs must be placed at the nearest intersection.
This allows pedestrians to use the sidewalk on the opposite side of the road rather
than allowing pedestrians through to the work site or cross mid-block.
When a sidewalk must be closed and it is not possible to direct pedestrians to the
other sidewalk, a closure of the adjacent curb lane may be used to provide
pedestrians with a temporary sidewalk. A minimum width of 1.2 metres is
required.
Work near schools may require additional accommodations determined by Traffic
Branch.
Traffic Signals
Whenever construction work takes place in close proximity of a signalized intersection,
the contractor must notify the Traffic Branch so that any necessary changes to the signal
timings can be made.
2.8
Speed Limits
Construction speed limit signs are to have black text on a white background with a black
text on an orange background at the top of the sign. Construction signs with the wording
of: “Construction Zone” as shown in drawing T131, notifies the beginning of a
construction zone and the applicable speed limit for the work zone. The signs are legally
enforceable and the installation and maintenance of these signs requires attention to
where they are placed in the traffic accommodation plan. The sign showing “construction
ends”, as shown in drawing T131, notifies the end of the work zone and posted speed
limit will be in effect from that point onwards.
17
The Traffic Bylaw specifies work zone speed limits shall not exceed 60% of the normal
speed limit as follows:
Work Zone Speed Limit
Posted Speed Limit (km/h)
Typical Work Zone Speed Limit (km/h)
100
60
80
50
70
45

35
50
30
The construction speed limit sign must be covered or removed when the street is no
longer considered a work zone.
2.9
Accommodation Setup and Removal
The setup and removal of a work zone creates a situation which is often more hazardous
than completing the actual work. The workers placing the advance signs and
channelizing devices are often exposed to traffic during these times. To minimize the
hazards, it is essential that the setup and removal activities are carried out in a quick and
orderly fashion.
Even though every work zone has its own unique conditions that can impact how setup
and removal are carried out, the following safety principles shall be adhered to:
•
•
•
•
•
All workers shall wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE);
All vehicles involved in the setup and removal of the temporary traffic control
zones has an amber flashing light, visible in all directions, on two lane roads or a
flashing arrow board on multi-lane roads;
Have a tail gate meeting prior to setup and removal of temporary traffic control
zones;
No delineation devices, barriers, or barricades to be installed until all advance and
transitions signs have been setup; and
Work in the work area shall start once all traffic control devices are in place.
Signs to be setup and removed shall start in the advance warning area and then moving
toward the transition area with the flow of traffic. Plans S100 to S103 illustrate the
procedures and order that shall be followed for the setup and removal of traffic control
signs.
18
3. 3. Existing Traffic Control Devices
Existing permanent traffic control devices shall be maintained and restored during and
after work at all work zones. This includes, but is not limited to, signs, parking meters,
traffic signals, and school zones. The devices that remain in effect during temporary
traffic control must be maintained and others must be covered, relocated or removed if
necessary. This section contains details on requirements for each group of devices.
3.1
Traffic Signs
Existing signs that are applicable but interfere with construction activities can be
temporarily relocated. However, the signs shall be placed so they are in full effective
view by the intended traffic. Portable signs can be used when applicable to augment the
relocated signs.
Existing signs that are no longer applicable to the work zone shall be removed or
covered. When removed, the signs have to be stored carefully out of the way on the
adjacent property line. City of Regina Traffic Branch shall be contacted if any sign
relocations or removals are required. Before the completion of work, the contractor
shall inform the Traffic Branch to reset all needed signs at permanent locations.
Permanent signs shall be in place by the end of the last day of construction and before the
street is open for regular operation.
3.2
Traffic Signals
The contractor shall get approval from the City of Regina Traffic Branch before planning
any underground construction in the vicinity of signalized intersections. The contractor
shall exercise due care to prevent damage to traffic signal equipment during excavation.
The Traffic Branch can provide, upon request, the approximate locations of the
underground signal equipment (conduits, junction boxes, loops, etc). If damage occurs,
the Traffic Branch must be notified immediately so the signal operations can be restored
as soon as possible.
During construction, the contractor shall keep existing signals in full operation and in
view of the traffic at all times. When required, vehicle detector sensing devices (loops or
cameras), pedestrian push buttons and left turn arrows can be deactivated by the City
Traffic staff. Contractor shall maintain direct and continuous communication with the
Traffic Branch to ensure the devices are turned on and off accurately.
3.3
Parking Meters
Parking meters shall be kept functional as much as possible. However, if they interfere
with construction activities, the contractor shall request the City of Regina Traffic Branch
to bag the meters. The contractor will be charged $5 for bagging a meter along with the
cost for the usage of the parking space ($0.90 m2/day) .
19
3.4
School Zones
School zones are usually equipped with special crosswalks and speed limits. When
possible, construction work near schools should be done during the time when schools
are out of session. If work has to be done during the times the school is in session,
attention should be given to maintain access to and from the school during construction
activities for both students and parents. If a pedestrian corridor has to be closed for
construction activities, an alternate arrangement shall be made for the safety of students
that walk to school. A flagger shall be used when necessary. The school should be

4. 4. Temporary Traffic Control Devices
4.1
Sign Types
Signs are an integral part of an effective traffic accommodation plan. They are used to
provide advance warning and guidance through the construction area. It is the duty of the
contractor to maintain or cover existing signs to suit conditions.
Signs are necessary whenever a motorist is required to change the path of travel or there
is a need to warn motorists of construction activity beside the roadway. It is important
that signs give clear and concise instructions. Traffic signs are classified as Regulatory,
Warning, and Guide.
Regulatory Signs - indicate a traffic regulation that applies at a specific time or place on
the road. These signs are essential to indicate the applicability of legal requirements that
may not otherwise be apparent to the driver. All road users must abide by them and
unlike warning and guide signs, they are enforceable. Existing regulatory signs within or
adjacent to the work area must be retained by the contractor. If existing signs are not
appropriate for the traffic conditions in the work area, Traffic must be notified to
determine if the signs should be covered, replaced or relocated.
Warning Signs - shall be placed in advance of the work zone to permit the motorist time
to understand the information and make the required response. Where a series of advance
warning signs are used, the warning signs nearest the work site should be placed well in
advance to give motorist time to react to the particular situation.
Minimum dimensions shall be maintained using the following table as a guide:
Minimum Dimensions for Warning Signs within a Work Zone
Posted Speed Limit
Elsewhere
100 km/hr
70 km/hr – 99 km/hr
30 km/hr – 69 km/hr
Size of Sign In Advance

1200 x 1200 mm
900 x 900 mm
750 x 750 mm
Size of Sign In Work Zone
900 x 900 mm
750 x 750 mm
750 x 750 mm
Guide Sign - in work zones these are used to indicate a suggested route for traffic to
follow. Where work zone activities require a total closure of the road, the detour route
shall include appropriate signs placed before all turns and on any straight portions along
the route longer than two city blocks to confirm the correct detour route.
The most effective system of regulating, warning, and guiding in work zones is provided
through planned use of traffic control signs and devices that are placed properly and well
maintained. All traffic control signs shall meet the 3M Diamond Grade Fluorescent
Sheeting or 3M High Intensity Grade Sheeting requirements for work zones in the
Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Canada.
21
4.2
Advance Information Signs
Advance Information Signs will be required for work on all arterial streets. Advance
Information Signs are necessary for warning traffic that a closure or restriction will start
soon. Signs shall be mounted approximately at right angles to and facing the flow of
traffic, containing as few words as possible and deliver a clear and concise message.
Signs are normally placed within the area that will have the closure or restriction. The
signs are to be placed a minimum of three business days in advance of the construction
start date Advance Information Signs shall follow the examples shown on drawing
T110.
4.3
Detour Information Signs
Detour Information Signs will be required for work on all arterial streets. Detour
Information Signs are necessary for controlling, warning or guiding traffic through or
around a work area. Signs shall be mounted approximately at right angles to and facing
the flow of traffic, containing as few words as possible and deliver a clear and concise
message.
Signs are normally placed prior to an arterial street so that motorists can use the arterial
streets rather than the local or collector street detour provided to bypass the work zone.
The signs are to be placed the day of the closure or restriction.
Detour Information Signs shall follow the examples shown on drawing T111.
4.4
Regulatory Parking Signs and Parking Meters
On construction projects where it is necessary to utilize the curb lane, the contractor shall
eliminate parking with appropriate signs or orange parking meter bags installed 24 hours
before the restriction is required.
If construction work necessitates the removal of a parking meter or requires a parking
meter to be taken out of service, the contractor must request Traffic to remove or reserve
the parking meter one week in advance of the start date. All costs for labour, material, or
lease of the metered parking space will be the responsibility of the contractor.
4.5
Sign Placement
Signs are generally placed within the work area to warn, regulate or guide anyone past
roadway construction or maintenance operation. Signs shall be installed before work is
to commence and removed promptly to accommodate rush hour traffic whenever
possible. The following considerations shall be used when deciding on sign placement:
•
•
Traffic lanes may be narrowed to a minimum of 3 metres in width;
A buffer of at least 3 metres shall be provided beside any excavation greater than
1 metres in depth. If there is insufficient space, the excavation must be closed in
by a form of a barrier;
22
•
•
•
Traffic may be shifted onto part of a shoulder, providing that portion can be used
by any vehicle without any pavement failure;
Two-way traffic operations are always preferred over detouring traffic to another
route; and
Traffic may be detoured, providing that the detour route is not already affected by
another construction or maintenance project.
When work is carried out at night or under adverse weather conditions, certain signs may
require supplementary flashing or steady lights for added visibility.
On streets with more than one driving lane separated by a median wider than 1.0 metre,
all signs shall be doubled by the provision of a second sign on the median or divider.
Signs and delineation devices shall be placed at consistent intervals depending on the
travel speed as given in the table below.
Taper Length + Longitudinal Buffer Length = Stopping Sight Distance
Required spacing between signs, number of devices in taper length, number of devices in
longitudinal buffer length are shown in the following table:

Sign Mounting Height
Signs shall be placed at an angle of 90 degrees to the direction of oncoming traffic and be
a minimum of 1.0 metre above the paved surface.
4.7
Sign Reflectivity
All traffic control signs shall be reflectorized. Sign faces or supports shall not bear any
advertising, company name, or logo. The colour of the sign shall remain the same when
viewed by day or night. Lettering and background shall be according to the guidelines
set in the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Canada. Only 3M Diamond
Grade Fluorescent Sheeting for Work Zones or 3M High Intensity Grade Sheeting for
23
Work Zones or proven equivalents will be permitted on all warning, regulatory signs,
advance information signs, and detour information signs for work zones.
The type of reflective material to be used on various signs is indicated on drawings T100,
T110, T111, T120, and T130.
4.8
Sign Maintenance
Sign maintenance plays an important role in traffic safety. All signs should be kept
clean, legible, and in proper position at all times. Damaged signs should be repaired as
soon as possible. Well-maintained signs have more credibility as traffic control devices.
Damaged, defaced or dirty signs are less effective, discredit the City, and may increase
exposure to litigation.
To ensure adequate maintenance, a suitable schedule for inspection, cleaning, and
replacement of signs should be established, including inspection at night to determine the
effectiveness of sign reflectivity. Care should be taken to remove weeds, construction
materials, or snow obscuring the sign face. All inspections must be recorded.
Signs should also be covered or removed when the condition they are warning about does
not exist. Unnecessary signs create frustration and motorists will lose respect for all
construction signs. This poses a risk to both work crews and road users. When the signs
in work zones are current and accurate, they will achieve the desired effect of warning,
guiding, and regulating traffic.
4.9
Barricades
Barricades serve the following purposes:
•
•
•
To alert that a particular area is closed to traffic;
To prevent drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians from entering the area; and
To protect the workers, equipment, and anyone else in the work area.
Barricades shall not be placed in a driving lane or bicycle lane without advance warning
signs.
When barricades are used to close a street, they should be placed so there is no gap large
enough for a vehicle to pass through, except when it is necessary to provide access for
local traffic or emergency vehicles. Barricades are especially valuable for defining the
construction area on the street. When used in this way, the barricades help prevent traffic
from driving into the construction areas. Barricades shall have reflective sheeting, be
freshly painted, and kept clean at all times. Barricades should not be used to channelize
traffic.
Markings for barricade panels shall be reflective material with alternate orange and white
stripes. Typically, the entire area of the rails shall be reflectorized using a minimum of
3M High Intensity or proven equivalent sheeting. No barricade rail face shall bear any
commercial or company name.
24
A single barricade is not enough to close a street and, above all, the barricade should not
be expected to replace a sign, light, delineator, or a flag person. The larger barricades
command more respect and effectively support signs providing motorists the direction
needed at the point of street closure.
4.9.1
Type 1 Barricade – is a device with a top hinge and at least one reflective
panel per side. This type of barricade is particularly convenient for folding,
stacking, and transporting from one site to the next. They can be used on
local or collector streets where traffic is maintained through the area. Type 1
barricades shall be used on local street closures, although for work of longer
duration, the larger Type 2 barricades are recommended. Type 1 barricades
are acceptable on arterial and collector streets during emergencies where a
high degree of mobility is desired.
4.9.2
Type 2 Barricade – is a larger device than the Type 1 barricade with reflective
panels on one side. They are less mobile in nature and shall be used in the
larger construction projects where they are required to function in one location
for a relatively long period of time. Type 2 barricades shall be used on all
arterial and collector street closures requiring a detour.
Refer to drawing T150 for illustrations of standard barricades.
4.10
Delineator Posts and Cones
Delineator posts are markers which help the road users to determine the location and
alignment of the traffic lane or edge line. By day, the effectiveness of the delineator is
determined by position, spacing, texture, size and color. By night, the effectiveness is
determined by position and visibility. All delineator posts used at night must be equipped
with a minimum 100 mm band of high intensity reflective sheeting.
Delineator posts are used to:
•
•
•
•
Channel and divert traffic in advance of work zone;
Define the travel way through the work zone;
Define a change in the position of the existing lanes around the work zone; and
Define a curve or edge of the roadway.
Delineator posts shall consist of a material that will withstand impact without appreciable
damage to the device, the vehicle, or passing traffic. Weighted bases should be used to
stabilize all delineators against knockdowns or high winds. Because these devices are
highly portable, they must be inspected regularly to ensure they have not been knocked
down, blown away, or unlawfully removed.
Traffic cones and tubular markers of various configurations are available and considered
good delineation devices. Cones range in size from 600 mm to 900 mm high. The City of
Regina does not allow the use of cones less than 600 mm high anywhere on the public
right-of-way. For visibility purposes, all cones must have a 100 mm reflective collar
placed approximately 100 mm from the top of the cone.
25
Refer to Drawing T160 for an illustration of a standard delineator post used by the City of
Regina.
4.11
Pavement Markings
Under certain circumstances, the use of pavement striping and raised pavement markers
may be justified to supplement devices for delineation. On major construction projects
where traffic is diverted for extended periods, pavement striping or markers are required
to delineate traffic and minimize confusion.
Typical applications include two-way traffic situations on busy arterial streets where
proper delineation is essential. All pavement markings must be approved by Traffic.
All newly paved surfaces shall be completely marked or pre-marked before being opened
to traffic.
4.12
Variable Message Boards
Variable Message Boards (VMB) may be used to communicate accurate, timely, and
pertinent information to motorists. Using these signs, messages can be displayed to
convey specific information about existing conditions and helps motorists avoid hazards
or delays by responding to changing roadway conditions. The following should be
considered when using VMB:
VMB may be used:
•
•
•
•
On arterials or expressways;
In alignment or surface condition changes;
When there are significant delays; and
During construction, maintenance, or special event activities.
VMB Messages should:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Be legible from all lanes at a minimum of 200 metres;
Be readable twice while travelling at the posted speed limit;
Not scroll the text horizontally or vertically;
Not contain both the words left and right;
Use standardized abbreviations; and
Be accurate and timely.
VMB placement should:
•
•
•
•
Always be placed on same side of roadway when two are used and spaced at least
300 metres apart;
Not interfere
Take the reflection of sun into account; and
Should be removed when not in use.
26
4.13
Arrow Boards
Arrow boards shall be utilized on arterial and collector streets to alert drivers of a lane
closure and the requirement to merge with the adjacent lane in advance of the work site
and should have the capability of following basic mode selections:
•
Flashing Arrow – recommended for full closures with the option of directing
traffic in any direction.
•
Sequential Flashing Arrow – recommended for full closures where a change of
direction is required and/or a specific direction is desired.
•
Sequential Flashing Chevron – recommended for partial closures or restrictions
where traffic is required to change lanes but not direction of travel.
•
Caution – recommended for closures of the curb lane where work may
intermittently present a hazard to motorists in adjacent driving lanes.
Refer to drawing T140 for illustrations of standard operating modes.
4.14
Traffic Barrels
Traffic Barrels are an effective device used to delineate an unusual vehicle path made
necessary by the construction activity. Barrels are highly visible and they give the
appearance of a more formidable obstacle than delineator posts or cones and therefore
command a higher level of respect from motorists, yet minimal damage to the vehicle
will result in the event of a collision.
Barrels shall contain sand, water or other substances only to the extent specified by the
manufacturer. Overfilling a barrel can be hazardous and should be avoided.
Refer to drawing T160 for an illustration of a standard traffic barrels used by the City.
4.15
Metal Plates
Pavement cuts on arterial streets should, wherever possible, be plated to accommodate
rush hour traffic or when work is discontinued for the day. They are useful to
accommodate traffic while concrete cures and surface repairs cannot be done
immediately.
Steel plates shall be used to avoid closing a street or too many traffic lanes of a street and
be of sufficient strength to support traffic. Plating shall also be provided to maintain
street access to private businesses when needed.
4.16
Construction Fence
Traffic Control Fencing prevents vehicular access at locations other than an intersection
or a driveway. Fencing can also be erected to separate parks or open spaces from streets
and alleys to prevent unauthorized vehicles from entering.
Traffic control fences shall be placed adjacent to streets and alleys along the property line
to prevent access to restricted areas.
27
Traffic Control Fencing shall be installed according to City of Regina specifications. The
following standards shall apply:
-
Fencing may be continuous or may be in the form of stub posting. The spacing of
stub posts shall not be greater than 2 metres.
-
The appropriate signing must be installed and approved by the Traffic Control
Department.
-
Continuous fences shall be a minimum of 1.2 metres high.
-
Fences should have locked gates or removable stub posts installed to allow utility
companies, Fire Department or City employees.
4.17
Concrete Barriers
Portable concrete barriers are primarily intended to protect construction workers from
errant vehicles. The City of Regina has several concrete barriers readily available to city
crews or contractors for use on city construction projects. The concrete barrier is
designed to minimize vehicle damage by allowing the vehicle tires to ride up on the
lower sloped face. Concrete barriers can be joined together to form a continuous
longitudinal barrier on high speed roadways. They are regularly used to protect workers
on bridge rehabilitation projects and when excavations exceed 1 metre in depth. End
sections directly exposed to oncoming traffic should be supplemented with proper end
pieces that deflect vehicles away from the work area and minimize damage to the vehicle.
Two typical pre-cast concrete barriers are used.
Reflective material arranged at the top of the barrier can be very effective in increasing
the visibility of barriers in work zones. If used, reflectorized material should be placed as
close to the top of the barriers as possible to ensure that motorists can see it. Reflectors
that are fastened to the top of barriers are available. The lines of sight should not be
obstructed by any object between the reflectorization and motorists.
Illustration of a concrete barrier
28
5. 5. Manual Traffic Control
Manual traffic control becomes necessary when work zones are at high traffic locations
and signalized intersections. Trained police officers and certified flaggers provide manual
traffic control. Traffic Control Persons / Flaggers should be utilized before needing
Police Control.
Police Control
5.1
Police control is required at busy intersections when the lanes of travel have been reduced
or when the traffic signal cannot be operated due to the construction activity. Police
officers can visually assess conditions and direct traffic accordingly. On-duty police
officers are only available for use during emergency conditions. Request for police
control must be made through Regina Police Services.
Traffic Control Persons / Flaggers
5.2
If traffic congestion warrants or if Traffic Branch determines it necessary, the contractor
shall provide Traffic Control Persons (TCP).
TCP are required where:
•
Workers or equipment intermittently block a traffic lane and there is only one
remaining lane for both directions of travel to use; and
A higher level of safety is deemed necessary.
•
TCP are responsible for directing traffic through work zones, protecting the workers from
traffic dangers and addressing motorists' work zone concerns. TCP are provided at work
areas to stop traffic intermittently as required by work progress or to maintain traffic flow
past a work area at reduced speeds to help protect the workers. For both of these
functions, TCP must be clearly visible to approaching motorists for a distance sufficient
to permit proper response by the motorist.
All TCP shall wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) at all times when directing
traffic. PPE, such as safety vests, hard hats, and steel toe work boots, are required at all
job sites.
TCP’s tools shall include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
STOP/SLOW paddle
Two way radio when visibility is restricted between TCP
Horn or whistle (optional item)
Log book and pencil for recording traffic violations
Eye protection
Suitable outerwear for prevailing conditions (rainwear)
29
The STOP/SLOW paddle shall be:
•
•
•
•
At least 45 cm x 45 cm in size
Reflective
Kept clean at all times
Either hand-held or mounted on a pole 1.6 m high (when used for more than 2
hrs)
TCP must be stationed far enough from the work area to slow down or stop traffic before
they enter the work area. All warning signs shall be placed well in advance of the TCP
and flagging stations shall be adequately protected.
TCP shall take a position so that the motorist’s vision of the TCP is not impaired by
curves, hills, parked vehicles, traffic control signs or delineators. No vehicles shall be
parked less than 15 metres in front of the flagging station.
TCP shall stand alone, and shall not mix with other workers.
TCP should be relieved periodically, where possible every two hours, during the course
of work; rest breaks are important to maintain effective flagging operations.
TCP Shall Not:
•
Wave the paddle to stop or move traffic
•
Leave the flagging station unattended or mix with the crew. The safety of both the
work crew and motorists depends on being easily seen at a safe distance from
other workers
•
Leave the STOP/SLOW paddle standing on a post, acting as a STOP or SLOW
sign
•
Leave a vehicle or other obstruction near the flagging station as this may cause a
distraction and prevent a quick exit in an emergency
•
Wear headphones while on duty
•
Sit down at the flagging station
All signs indicating that a TCP is on duty shall be removed or covered when there is no
TCP on duty.
TCP shall be certified as a flag person by the Heavy Construction Safety Association
of Saskatchewan. TCP shall have the required copy of the flag person’s “Certificate
of Training in Work zone Flagging” with them at the worksite, and be able to
readily produce it upon request.
TCP will comply with all Saskatchewan Safety Council requirements regarding flagging
operations. Refer to the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety website for
a full list of Safety Apparel requirements in work zones. (http://www.ccohs.ca/)
30
TCP SIGNALS
1. To Stop Traffic –
The TCP will stand outside the traffic lanes, and in
a stationary position while facing traffic, extend the
STOP sign over the traffic lane. Hold the STOP
sign in a vertical position at arm's length. For
greater emphasis, the free arm may be raised with
the palm toward approaching traffic.
2. When it is Safe for Traffic to Proceed –
The TCP shall face the traffic, and with the SLOW
sign held in a vertical position, motion traffic ahead
with the free arm.
3. Where it is Desired to Alert or Slow Traffic –
The TCP shall face traffic and hold the SLOW sign
in a vertical position at arm's length. For added
emphasis, the TCP may slowly raise and lower the
free hand with the palm down.
