UNIFORMED POLICE OFFICERS (UPO) / FLAGGERS • Any construction activities within one hundred and fifty (150) feet of a signalized intersection shall require Uniformed Police Officer(s) (UPO) at the traffic signal, unless otherwise approved in this TCP and evaluated by City Transportation for the impacts of traffic signal operations and safety. • Flagger and sign placement are subject to revision by the City Inspector on site, if needed to address traffic or pedestrian safety or travel. • For TCPs that require the presence of UPO to manage vehicular traffic and pedestrians at signalized intersections, Applicant shall coordinate with Transportation Signal Maintenance (425-430-7423) at least twenty-four (24) hours in advance for any signal that will be placed in red flashing mode. Applicant shall notify Transportation Signal Maintenance when the intersection is back to the normal traffic signal operations. TEMPORARY TRAFFIC SIGNALS OR TRAFFIC SIGNAL MODIFICATION • Temporary traffic signal programming or modification requires a minimum fifteen (15) working days for each traffic signal controller to be programmed and tested by City Transportation staff before starting the work. The Start Date on this TCP shall reflect the time for temporary traffic signal programming or modification.

The cover sheet of this approved TCP form must be attached to each Temporary No Parking Sign on the project site. • Two travel lanes (one for each approach) must be open at all times on arterial streets unless approved in this TCP. NIGHT WORK • Between the hours of 10 p.m. and 7 a.m., approved Noise Variance shall be required (See Section RMC 8-7- 8) for night work. Process may take up to twelve (12) weeks. More information can be found at https://www.rentonwa.gov/City-Services/Permit-Center/Land-Use-Development/Noise-Variance. • City may require night work for TCPs that have severe traffic impacts on arterial streets. Page 6 of 6 | Published: 2/25/2025 • Night work shall always be required if two lanes of traffic (One for each approach) cannot be maintained on an arterial street. • Night work shall be required if an evaluation of existing traffic volumes and patterns finds that any TCP will functionally reduce an arterial or high-volume collector street to only one lane of traffic. • The following configurations may require night work:  Work at traffic signals that requires shifting one direction of traffic into a left turn pocket where a high volume of left turns occur.  Work at traffic signals that requires shifting two directions of traffic into left turn pockets.  Work at traffic signals that requires shifting high-volume left-turn movement into a through lane on a single approach to the intersection.  Work at signals that requires shifting left-turning traffic into a through lane on multiple approaches to the intersection. • If City’s initial TCP review finds that night work is required, a pre-construction meeting is mandatory to confirm the extents of the work required, the duration of work, anticipated noise levels, and any potential alternatives to mitigate the impact of night work to adjacent residents prior to review and approval of the TCP. TRAFFIC CONTROL PLAN (TCP) FORMAT • TCP must be site and project specific. The TCP shall clearly indicate all existing transportation facilities impacted by work including roads, bike lanes, sidewalks, transit stops, and driveways. Typical drawings, taper tables and MUTCD illustrations, by themselves, are insufficient. • Each construction phase shall be provided with appropriate work zone traffic control. The impacts of utility relocation, traffic delays, detours and capacity restrictions must be considered and addressed. A suitable sequence of construction activities must be discussed with City Staff prior to fully developing TCPs based on the complexity of a project. • TCPs shall be clearly labeled as separate plans to identify the construction sequencing during each phase when more than one TCP layout is submitted. • TCP must be submitted with an electronic copy of TCP layout(s), on 11” X 17” paper size PDF format, which consist of:  Map(s) showing the location of the project and work area.  All fonts shall be legible and a minimum 10-point font size.  All symbols of viewing or printing shall be clear and contrasting.  All streets shall be labeled, and layout must include a north arrow and scale.  Must show channelizing devices, signing, flagger locations, barricades, PCMS boards, etc.  Show locations where the standard traffic control plans are applied.

TR EPA NI E R EXPIRES AUGUST 9, 2007 NO LEFT TURN signs are to be used if traffic volumes are too high or there is an operating signal. Close the left turn pocket if there is one on the side street. When turn prohibitions are implemented, two turn prohibition signs should be used, one on the near side and, space permitting, one on on the far side of the intersection. If the work space extends a crosswalk, the crosswalk should be closed (see Standard Plan K-34.20). Flashing Warning Lights (Type A per MUTCD) should be used, as needed, to mark barricades at night. Steady Burning Warning Lights (Type C per MUTCD) shall be used to mark channelizing devices at night. For long term projects conflicting pavement markings that are no longer applicable shall be removed or obliterated. Temporary markings shall be used.
