Traffic Control Devices

Employees performing any task which requires their presence on any traveled public, or private thoroughfare, MUST provide adequate protection for themselves, their fellow employees, and the general public, by properly "PROTECTING THE WORK SITE".

This involves placing of traffic control devices (cones, barrels, horses or reflectors) in position to guide traffic safely through the construction site. Care should be taken to insure that the proper signs, such as "Men Working", "Road Work Ahead", etc., are placed a sufficient distance from the actual work to allow sufficient time for vehicle operators to react to the sign message.

The Manual on Traffic Control Devices places restrictions, and regulations, governing the use of signs and traffic control devices. The City of St. Louis will conform to the principals outlined in this Manual.

Supervisors shall conduct regular training sessions with employees involved in work requiring the use of traffic control marking.
