About this file
This is a Traffic Regulation specification document (Section 01 55 26) for Bristol Township's 2026 Road Paving, Inlet Replacement, and Curb Ramp Program in Pennsylvania. The specification outlines the contractor's obligations for maintaining safe and efficient traffic movement during construction activities. The contractor must furnish, erect, and maintain traffic control devices including cones, drums, barricades, flashing lights, directional signs, and trained flagpersons as required by state and local permit requirements. Key deliverables include a Traffic Control Plan, advance notifications to relevant parties, construction parking controls, flagperson services, flares and lights for low-visibility periods, established haul routes, and appropriately positioned traffic signs and signals. The contractor is responsible for maintaining at least one traffic lane during non-working periods and must allow emergency vehicle passage at all times. All property owners and residents must receive written notification three days before milling and paving operations regarding on-street parking restrictions, with the contractor bearing responsibility for towing costs if proper notice is not provided.
Additional requirements mandate that the contractor maintain access to adjacent property driveways and entrances during non-working periods and to the maximum extent feasible during work hours, utilizing steel plates or equivalent decking as necessary. Milled surfaces cannot accommodate traffic for more than six calendar days, and the bituminous wearing course must be installed within seven calendar days of milling commencement. All traffic control equipment and devices must meet approval from the authority having jurisdiction, and the contractor must provide advance notification to the local municipal police department at least ten days prior to any traffic restrictions, with fire companies, school districts, ambulance services, and affected residents receiving at least three days' notice. Upon project completion, the contractor is responsible for removing all traffic control equipment and devices, repairing any installation-related damage, and removing post settings to a depth of two feet.
