MAINTENANCE OF TRAFFIC (MOT)

It is the purpose of this plan to secure the safety and protection of Aldridge and subcontractor employees, the public, and property and equipment when engaged in work adjacent to or encroaching upon a roadway.  

The MOT Permit is a management tool to instruct and assist in recognizing and defining hazards for mitigation and compliance with applicable local ordinances, regulations, and standards for traffic control design and for activities in a work zone. 

The permit is required under the following conditions:

• The work zone or construction obstacles are located within 15 feet of the active travel way, and the prevailing speed or posted speed (whichever is greater) of the roadway is 45 MPH or greater.

• When crews are working within 500 feet of the exit ramp boundary or near merge areas.

• It is determined necessary by project-specific work zone protection plans.
