Traffic safety for construction, municipal & utility work

The compliance rules, cited to primary law, for crews that set up work zones, close lanes, and dig in the public right-of-way. Pick your state, then the job you are doing.

Governing: MUTCD Part 6 · OSHA 29 CFR 1926 · State DOT

If your crew works on or beside a roadway, you carry the liability for how the work zone is set up: the advance-warning signs, the taper, the channelizing devices, and the flaggers. Getting it wrong risks OSHA citations, DOT fines, voided insurance, and injury claims. This hub maps the jobs your crews actually do to the exact requirements that govern them, state by state, each backed by a verbatim quote from the MUTCD, OSHA, or your state code.

The jobs you're liable for

Set your state, then open a job to see its cited requirements.

Close a lane (work zone)

Set up a work zone: advance warning, tapers, buffer space, channelizing devices, and when a PE-stamped plan is required (MUTCD Part 6).
