6. Office of Traffic, Safety and Technology TC Plan Development  General Information –Designers must be aware of the need for a Traffic Control Plan –Coordination meetings are recommended –Designer will likely need to provide construction sheets or general layout sheets –Traffic Engineering will develop based on: TEM MN MUTCD TMP 6

7. Office of Traffic, Safety and Technology 7 Plan Assembly Steps 1.To begin the project, start with ProjectWise 2. Obtain the existing construction plans, including any staging 3.Eliminate levels of detail (buildings, lot lines, etc) on roadway plan sheets REASON: So placement of signs on roadway sheets are not cluttered by underlying details.

8. Office of Traffic, Safety and Technology 8 Plan Assembly Steps 1.To begin the project, start with ProjectWise 2. Obtain the existing construction plans, including any staging 3.Eliminate levels of detail (buildings, lot lines, etc) on roadway plan sheets REASON: So placement of signs on roadway sheets are not cluttered by underlying details.

9. Office of Traffic, Safety and Technology 9 TTC Assembly Steps 4.Organize roadway plan sheets –all mainline roadway comes first with stationing generally increasing from left to right (include roadway through interchanges for depicting mainline TC through the interchange –next are interchange/intersection layouts for indicating TC on cross streets and at ramp terminals REASON: Consistency in design.

10. Office of Traffic, Safety and Technology 10 TTC Assembly Steps 5.Place traffic control elements on the roadway plan sheets for each direction of travel –Refer to the discussions in Chapter 3 (Devices and Materials) and Chapter 4 (Work Zone Applications)

11. Office of Traffic, Safety and Technology 11 TTC Assembly Steps 6.Label each type of pavement marking with the following numbering system: REASON: The uniqueness of each pavement marking material is bid differently by contractors

12. Office of Traffic, Safety and Technology 12 TTC Assembly Steps 7.For a detour plan, a circled note below the sign on the layout sheet indicates the action to take with the sign –Typical notes show include:

13. Office of Traffic, Safety and Technology 13 TTC Assembly Steps 8.Prepare list of standard plates applicable to project 9.Prepare list of estimated quantities using the total quantity from each of the data boxes 10.Assemble all necessary typical sheets 11.Complete the title sheet 12.Assemble ALL of the plan sheets in the proper order 13.Number the roadway sheets sequentially beginning with the Title Sheet as Sheet TC1

15. Office of Traffic, Safety and Technology 15 Clear Zone Requirements  From Road Design Manual –Clear zone is the distance from the edge of the travel lane which should be free of any non-traversable hazard such as steep slopes or fixed objects –Targeted towards allowing approximately 80 to 85 percent of all run-off-the-road vehicles to recover or come to a safe stop –The width of a clear zone along the horizontal alignment is dependent on: roadside geometry design speed radius of horizontal curve ADT

50. Office of Traffic, Safety and Technology Common TTC Plan Set Issues  The following is a list of some of the common issues with TTC plan sets from MnDOT reviewers  These are not in any order of importance 50

51. Office of Traffic, Safety and Technology Common TTC Plan Set Issues –The designer uses PLACE instead of INSTALL –Whenever INSTALL is used by itself it implies that the material is either salvaged or supplied –It is preferred to use PLACE, FURNISH AND INSTALL, or CONSTRUCT 51

52. Office of Traffic, Safety and Technology Common TTC Plan Set Issues –All of the roadways are not labelled –Ensure to label the mainline and cross streets 52

53. Office of Traffic, Safety and Technology Common TTC Plan Set Issues –There is a beginning SP and no end –A SP is not required on traffic control plans so it is suggested not to show it at all 53

54. Office of Traffic, Safety and Technology Common TTC Plan Set Issues –The legend does not agree with what’s shown on the plan –Ensure to that the plan and legend match 54

55. Office of Traffic, Safety and Technology Common TTC Plan Set Issues –Pay items do not agree with what’s shown on the plan –Ensure that they do and that all items are accounted for 55

56. Office of Traffic, Safety and Technology Common TTC Plan Set Issues –Impact attenuators are not paid for correctly and are shown incorrectly on the plan (e.g. barrels vs systems) 56

57. Office of Traffic, Safety and Technology Common TTC Plan Set Issues –Attenuator test levels are not shown –Show test level on the attenuators and whether they are permanent or temporary 57
