The Oregon Department of Transportation develops and maintains traffic control standards and practices for use on construction projects and maintenance operations.
Traffic Control Plans
A traffic control plan is required for any temporary activity that will disrupt the normal flow of traffic on a highway.
The primary function of the plan is to allow safe and effective movement of public traffic - including vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians - through or around the work zone, while providing an equally safe and efficient work space for highway workers.
