Temporary Pedestrian Accommodations in Utility Work Zones Rebecca Klein, PE Regional Work Zone Engineer ,

Temporary Pedestrian Accommodations The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), 2009, Section 6A.01 states “The needs and control of all road users (motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians within the highway, or on private roads open to public travel, including persons with disabilities in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), Title II, Paragraph ) through a TTC (Temporary Traffic Control) zone shall be an essential part of highway construction, utility work, maintenance operations, and the management of traffic incident.”

Temporary Pedestrian Accommodations All pedestrians need protection from potential injury and must be provided a smooth, firm, stable, slip-resistant, and continuous hard surface with a clearly delineated travel path (without abrupt changes in grade or terrain). What does it means to provide “reasonable and practical” pedestrian accommodations?

Pedestrian Safety in Work Zones

Types of Impacts Sidewalk Detour Crosswalk Closure Sidewalk Diversion

Sidewalk Detour Additional advance warning may be necessary Only traffic control devices relating to pedestrian flow are shown It may be necessary to allow pedestrians to travel to the closure points to allow access to businesses, residences, etc.

Crosswalk Closure Advance warning is necessary Only traffic control devices relating to pedestrian flow are shown Pedestrian signals should be deactivated for closed crosswalks Nighttime lighting should be considered

Sidewalk Diversion Advance warning may be necessary Only traffic control devices relating to pedestrian flow are shown Transition signing may be necessary to guide or direct pedestrians

Other Facts to Consider MUST keep all construction activities separated from pedestrians May not store equipment, materials, or even work on sidewalk without providing an ADA complaint alternate for pedestrians Sidewalk must be clean of debris for duration of construction If utilizing a detour, the detour must also be ADA complaint

Examples

Pedestrian-Vehicle Separation

Access to Transit Stops, Businesses, Residences, etc.
