The Township Committee 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 or below the ground, which requires blocking the street and 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 and around construction and maintenance zones and to provide safety for the work forces performing these operations.
The Township of Frankford, in the County of Sussex, State of New Jersey does hereby adopt the current Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways hereafter known as the M.U.T.C.D., 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 the M.U.T.C.D. while performing such work is in violation of this section.
[New]
It shall be the responsibility of the person, contractor, or public utility wishing to conduct work on, under or above the street to contact the Township Clerk or the Township Engineer in order to arrange a pre-construction meeting to submit plans for the safe movement of traffic during such period of construction or work. 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 Township Engineer of the Township of Frankford is in violation of this section.
[New]
The person, contractor or utility shall provide at least two emergency contact telephone 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 made, or if the emergency contact person does not respond to a call from the Township Committee to correct such hazardous condition, the Township may respond to correct the hazardous condition(s). The reasonable fees for such emergency services by the Township shall be charged to the person, contractor, or utility responsible for the condition.
[New]
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 4:00 p.m. This time limit may be adjusted to permit work prior to 9:00 a.m. or after 4:00 p.m. by the Township Committee. If it is determined by the Township Committee that the construction or maintenance operations prior to 9:00 a.m. or after 4:00 p.m. would substantially delay traffic or cause a safety or health hazard, the work shall then be permitted only between 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
[New]
Road closing and/or traffic detours shall not be permitted unless approved by the State Police or appropriate Law Enforcement Authority.

[1982 Code § 7-3.2; New]
