Adoption of Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for streets and highways.
The Council hereby finds and declares that problems of traffic control occur when traffic must be moved through or around street construction, maintenance operations and utility work above and below ground which requires blocking the roadway and obstructing the normal flow of traffic; and that such obstructions are or can become dangerous when not properly controlled. In order to better promote the public health, safety, peace and welfare, it is necessary to establish controls and regulations directed to the safe and expeditious movement of traffic through construction and maintenance zones and to provide safety for the work force performing these operations.
The Township of Franklin in the County of Somerset and State of New Jersey does hereby adopt the current Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices, hereafter known as MUTCD, except as hereby supplemented and amended, as it controls and regulates whenever construction maintenance operations or utility work obstructs the normal flow of traffic. Any person, contractor, or utility who fails to comply with the provisions of MUTCD while performing such work is in violation of this section.
It shall be the responsibility of the person, contractor, or in the case of a public utility as required under the public utility agreement, wishing to conduct work on, under or above the roadway to contact the Traffic Safety Bureau of the Franklin Township Police Department in order to arrange a preconstruction meeting to submit plans for the safe movement of traffic during such period of construction work. Preconstruction meetings must be scheduled far enough in advance (a minimum of two weeks) of the desired start date so as to allow for efficient planning.
Any person, contractor or utility who fails to comply with this section prior to the start of such work or whose plans are not approved by the Traffic Safety Bureau of the Police Department is in violation of this section.
Hazardous conditions. The person, contractor or utility shall provide the Traffic Safety Bureau of the Police Department with at least two emergency contact phone numbers to be called in case of emergency problems at the construction or maintenance site prior to the start of any work. If for any reason emergency contact cannot be reached, or if the emergency contract person does not respond in a timely manner to the call from the Police Department to correct a hazardous condition, the Township may respond to correct such hazardous conditions. The reasonable fees for such emergency service by the Township shall be charged to the person, contractor or utility responsible for such conditions.
Hours. There shall be no construction, maintenance operations or utility work on any roadway in the Township before the hour of 9:00 a.m. or after 3:30 p.m. This time limit may be adjusted to permit work prior to 9:00 a.m. or after 3:30 p.m. by the officer in charge of the Traffic Safety Bureau of the Franklin Township Police Department if it is determined by that officer that the construction or maintenance operations prior to 9:00 a.m. or after 3:30 p.m. would not substantially delay traffic or cause a safety or health hazard.
Road closing and detours. Road closing and/or traffic detours shall not be permitted unless approved by the officer in charge of the Traffic Safety Bureau of the Police Department. Advance notice of detours must be given to motorists, except in emergent circumstances.

The Professional Services Division of the Franklin Township Police Department shall be contacted at least 48 hours before starting work to arrange for the hiring of off-duty officers if needed. The number of officers or traffic directors required shall be determined by the Traffic Safety Bureau of the Police Department and approved by the Chief of Police. For all work on roads listed in Table 1 attached, traffic control shall be by off-duty Franklin Township police officers. The requirement to hire off-duty officers for work on, above, below, or adjacent to the roads listed in Table 1 shall only apply to work that will take in excess of one hour to complete. All work on, above, below, or adjacent to the roads listed in Table 1 taking less than one hour, or taking place on roads other than those listed in Table 1, may be controlled with traffic directors, unless off-duty Franklin Township police officers are deemed necessary by the Traffic Safety Bureau and approved by the Chief of Police. All civilian flagmen must wear lime green glow-type traffic vests and must be educated as to the proper operation of traffic flag controls. If flagmen cannot see each other, they must have walkie-talkie communication between them. In the event that work requires any road to be closed to traffic 24 hours a day, the hiring of off-duty Franklin Township police officers will be required when it is deemed necessary by the Traffic Safety Bureau and approved by the Chief of Police.
Stop work. The Police Department Traffic Safety Bureau shall have the authority to stop work, including the removal of equipment and vehicles, stored material within the street right-of-way, backfilling of open excavations and/or other related work, in order to abate any nuisance and/or safety hazard or for any violation of this section.
