§ 145-13.2. Adoption of Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for streets and highways.

A. 

The Council hereby finds and declares that problems of traffic control occur when traffic must be moved through or around street construction, maintenance operations or utility work obstructing the normal flow of traffic 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 safety and expeditious movement of traffic through construction and maintenance zones and to provide safety for the work force performing these operations.

B. 

The Borough of Upper Saddle River in the County of Bergen, State of New Jersey, does hereby adopt the current Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, hereafter known as MUTCD, except as hereby supplemented and amended, as it controls and regulates whenever construction maintenance operations of 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.
