This applies to all crane when you have to setup on a public road.

With more than 600 fatal work zone incidents occurring every year, designing and implementing safe and effective temporary traffic control (TTC) for work zones does save lives.

A temporary traffic control zone, also known as a TTC zone, is an area of a roadway where the usual driving conditions are changed because of a work zone in the area.

Approach all activities in work zones involving TTC by focusing on these seven fundamental principles:

1. Develop a plan to make sure that motorists, bicyclists, pedestrians and workers are safe while the work zone is in place.
2. As much as possible, avoid interrupting the normal flow of traffic through the work zone and in other areas near the work zone.
3. Guide traffic in a clear and positive manner as it approaches the work zone to avoid confusing the drivers, which can lead to incidents.
4. Inspect the work zone both during the day, and again at night, to make sure that the traffic control measures are effective in bright daylight conditions, as well as low light conditions.
5. Maintain all traffic control devices such as lights, barrels, cones, signs, and barriers so that they are clean visible, and effective.
6. Train all members of the team that will be working inside of the work zone, including supervisors, management, and field personnel, on the proper techniques of temporary traffic control.
7. Communicate with the public before, during, and after the work is performed to help ensure that their safety, as well as the safety of the workers, is considered at all times.
