Construction and Traffic Control (Work Zones)


DDOT shall commit to reducing congestion in and around work zones without compromising the safety of workers and the public. Traffic control plans submitted with construction permits must replicate the existing pedestrian pathways as practically as possible, in order to ensure that the routing of pedestrians, bicyclists, and other vehicles around a work zone is safe.
