IDOT_Traffic_Control_Authorization_Request.pdf

This file is a Traffic Control Authorization Request form used by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) to document and authorize traffic control measures for road work activities. The form captures essential project information including the district, county, contract number, marked route, section location, and inclusive work dates and hours. It accommodates various work types including maintenance, construction, and traffic control activities, requiring detailed descriptions of the proposed work. The form mandates identification of the responsible engineer or construction foreman/superintendent and their contact information, with additional contact names and numbers required if traffic control work will occur between 5:00 p.m. and 8:30 a.m. or on weekends and holidays.

The authorization request requires detailed specification of traffic control measures to be implemented, with explicit reference to applicable Highway Standards or manual sections, as well as any special controls proposed for the project. The form follows a defined approval process, with distribution to the District Operations/Traffic Engineer and submissions reviewed by the Project Implementation Engineer and Field Engineer, with final approval granted by the Resident Engineer or District Operations/Traffic Engineer and the Illinois State Police District office. This administrative document serves as the authorization mechanism for traffic management during IDOT-related construction and maintenance activities, ensuring proper coordination and safety protocols are established prior to work commencement.
