A. 
The provisions of this article shall apply to the roadways within the Bethlehem Town lines.
B. 
This article shall be enforced by the Town of Bethlehem Resident Trooper, Constables and, where applicable, the Connecticut State Police.
C. 
Deviations from the normal function of a roadway, found not in compliance with the Town of Bethlehem's temporary traffic control regulations, will result in the interference being terminated and/or criminal charges applied.
The intent of this article is to provide reasonably safe and efficient movement of motorists and farmers while protecting workers, pedestrians, property owners and responders to traffic incidents.
As used in this article, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:
ROADWAY CONSTRUCTION PROJECT
Any activity where an intrusion on the roadway or an area adjacent to the roadway occurs. An intrusion causes the normal function of the roadway to be suspended and may include but is not limited to a contractor's employees, equipment, and/or their motor vehicles.
All person(s) and/or companies placing equipment, signage or personnel on any roadway within the Town of Bethlehem shall follow the guidelines listed below:
A. 
Notify the Bethlehem Resident Trooper or the day-shift Bethlehem Constable at the Bethlehem Resident Trooper's office with the following information [R/T Phone No. (203) 266-7405].

(3) 
Foreman or contact person.
C. 
Notification of jobs shall be no later than 12:00 noon on the business day preceding the commencement of the proposed job. If the Troop "L" dispatch is reached upon calling, this indicates all personnel are attending other business. Leave the above information for the Bethlehem Resident Trooper; a Department representative will return your call to confirm an officer is available.
D. 
If the Bethlehem Resident Trooper's office informs you they are unable to provide your company with an officer, it will be necessary to call the Connecticut State Police construction project coordinator and request a trooper for the project [(860) 685-8420]. Note: All jobs must be offered to the Bethlehem Constables prior to contacting the CSP construction project coordinator. The CSP office will accept calls until approximately 3:00 p.m. for jobs occurring on the following day.
E. 
Provide a safe condition while working in or around the roadways, including but not limited to those areas where it is necessary to have an officer present, i.e., cones, signage and proper temporary traffic control patterns.
