Descripción

This application summarizes some guidelines established in the Ohio Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (OMUTCD) and MUTCD. It contains basic principles, a description of the standard traffic control devices used in work areas and traffic incident management areas, guidelines for the application of the devices, and typical application diagrams. Information concerning proper flagging is also presented. The information is intended to provide the principles of proper temporary traffic control, but is not a standard. Part 6 of the Ohio supplement of the Manual of Traffic Control (MUTCD) contains the standards for temporary traffic control. This information is provided as a reference only and is NOT a substitute for reading the Ohio Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (OMUTCD). In the event of discrepancies between the OMUTCD and this application, the OMUTCD is the controlling legal standard. The guide is directed to state and local government road and street departments, utilities, companies performing construction by permit, and any other entity providing maintenance or construction on a public roadway.
