FEBRUARY 2014 (*amended March 2014)
HALIFAX REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY
TRAFFIC CONTROL MANUAL SUPPLEMENT
HALIFAX REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY
TRAFFIC CONTROL MANUAL SUPPLEMENT
The following provisions shall apply to all contractors/organizations and others doing work on streets
under the jurisdiction of the Halifax Regional Municipality. These provisions are in addition to the
“Temporary Workplace Traffic Control Manual”, latest revision published by the Nova Scotia
Department of Transportation & Infrastructure Renewal.
1
PERMITS
With the exception of emergency situations, no work may commence on any HRM street without
first obtaining a permit as required by the provisions of the HRM Street By-law (S-300). Permit
applications must be received at least 10 business days before the proposed construction start
date. Construction must not start before the permit is issued.
2
HOURS OF WORK
Hours of work shall generally be restricted in accordance to the provisions of the HRM Noise Bylaw (N-200). Additional restrictions may be imposed on any work within the HRM Street by
permit condition. With the exception of emergency work, the following restrictions shall apply
(unless otherwise specified on the Streets and Services permit) according to the table in Schedule
“A” (attached):
1
-
Maintain two lanes during Peak Hours: In this case, at least two lanes (one in each
direction) must be maintained during Peak Hours. If this condition is met, work may
continue through the Peak Hours. If this condition cannot be met, normal Peak Hour
Restrictions apply. Peak Hours shall be defined as being from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and
either 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. from Monday to Friday, or 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on the day
in advance of the July 1 long weekend (if applicable) and the Natal Day and Labour Day
long weekend. Holidays excluded. Holidays are identified in Schedule “B” (attached).
-
Maintain two lanes at all times: In this case, at least two lanes (one in each direction)
must be maintained at all times. “Stop and Go” traffic is permitted by exception only.
This condition may be used in addition to other restrictions.
-
PM PHR (Peak Hour Restrictions) Only: In this case, no on street work1 may proceed
during the PM Peak Hours. PM Peak Hours shall be defined as being from either 4:00
p.m. to 6:00 p.m. from Monday to Friday, or 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on the day in advance
of the July 1 long weekend (if applicable) and the Natal Day and Labour Day long
weekend. Holidays excluded. Holidays are identified in Schedule “B” (attached).
-
PHR (Peak Hour Restrictions) apply only in Peak Direction: In this case, work may
proceed if the capacity in the peak direction is not compromised; typically on a multi-lane
street. For example, if there are two lanes in each direction, work may proceed in the
morning peak if both inbound lanes are open and one outbound lane is also open.
-
Peak Hour Restricted: In this case, no on street work1 may proceed during Peak Hours.
Peak Hours shall be defined as being from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and from 4:00 p.m. to
6:00 p.m. from Monday to Friday, Holidays excluded and from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on
References to “on street work” are intended to include the entire right of way width; not just the travelled way or
traffic lanes.
the day in advance of the July 1 long weekend (if applicable) and the Natal Day and
Labour Day long weekend. Holidays are identified in Schedule “B” (attached).
-
Evening and Weekend Only: In this case, no on street work2 may proceed between the
hours of 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. from Monday to Friday, Holidays excluded. Holidays
are identified in Schedule “B” (attached). Work must either take place over night or on a
Saturday or Sunday. Provisions of the HRM Noise By-law shall apply. Some work may
require
an
exemption
from
Regional
Council
to
satisfy
certain
Noise By-law provisions.
Very Short Duration Work – defined in the Nova Scotia Temporary Workplace Traffic Control
Manual as work at a location that does not take more than 30 minutes excluding the time required
to set-up and take-down traffic control equipment – will generally be exempt from these
restrictions provided Peak Hour Restrictions are respected.
Exceptions to these restrictions will be considered on a case by case basis only when specifically
requested by the permit applicant and/or contractor. The two main criteria for evaluating the
exception request will be (1) what the actual impact of the work area will be on the public and (2)
whether the scope of work and excavation size prevents the work area from being re-opened to
traffic in accordance to the applicable restricted times noted above. Any exception to the hours of
work restrictions will be reflected on the permit. Failure to respect hour of work restrictions on
the permit may result in penalties in accordance with the HRM Street By-law (S-300).
Permission to work through restricted times may be granted by the Right of Way Engineer or the
HRM Inspector only in the event of unforeseen circumstances which make re-opening the work
area to traffic impractical. All requests to continue work through restricted hours must be
requested in writing at least one hour before the restriction is to take effect. Permission is only
considered granted upon receipt of a response in writing from the Right of Way Engineer or the
HRM Inspector indicating the request is approved. A Public Service Announcement will be
issued by HRM advising motorists of the continuing works.
3
ROUNDABOUTS
Roundabouts should generally be treated as intersections. Work within the circulating lanes shall
be treated as working within an intersection when referencing the current version the Temporary
Workplace Traffic Control Manual. For all multi-lane roundabouts, all multi-lane approaches
shall be reduced to one lane, and all circulating lanes shall be reduced to one lane.
For the special case of a work area in any approach or exit of a multi-lane roundabout (within 50
metres of any circulating lane), all approach, exit, and circulating lanes shall be reduced to one
lane.
Generally the concerns with respect to working in or near multi-lane roundabouts are (1) never to
encourage motorists to change lanes within the roundabout and (2) not to force queues into the
circulating lanes are a result of work in the exiting lanes from the roundabout.
4
STREET CLOSURES
The Right of Way Engineer must approve all street closures. Requests for any street closure must
be received at least 10 business days in advance of the proposed closure date. HRM shall issue a
Public Service Announcement in advance of the closure of any street on the list in Schedule “A”.
2
References to “on street work” are intended to include the entire right of way width; not just the travelled way /
traffic lanes.
5
SIDEWALK CLOSURES
The Right of Way Engineer or the Development Engineer must approve all sidewalk3 closures.
Where there is another sidewalk available on the opposite side of the street, pedestrians must be
directed to use that sidewalk. This shall include “Sidewalk Closed Ahead” signs in advance of the
work area at the closest marked or unmarked crosswalk indicating the sidewalk is closed ahead.
“Sidewalk Closed” signs must be placed on either side of the work area that is closed to
pedestrians. These signs must appear on any traffic control plans being submitted for HRM
review.
Where pedestrians cannot be safely directed to use another sidewalk, the contractor may be
required to provide a temporary “sidewalk area” for pedestrian use. Any temporary surface
provided must be safe for all users and wheelchair accessible. Asphalt or compacted crusher dust
may be acceptable for this purpose.
Should the temporary sidewalk be part of the travelled way of a street, adequate delineation of the
sidewalk space must be provided for the safety of all pedestrians. For long duration work with a
temporary sidewalk in the travelled way of a street, delineation of the sidewalk must be provided
with continuous F-shape Barriers.
6
BICYCLE LANE CLOSURES
Bicycle lane signage is regulatory, and therefore not covered under the Nova Scotia Temporary
Workplace Traffic Control Manual. As a result, posting the regulatory signage required to close
any bicycle lane requires Traffic Authority approval.
7
TRAFFIC AUTHORITY APPROVALS
As per the requirements of the Nova Scotia Temporary Workplace Traffic Control Manual, the
Traffic Authority must approve all traffic plans that require the following:
- Altered Centrelines on multi-lane roads or roads with a speed limit of greater than
50km/h, as well as any temporary roadways
- Speed Zone Restrictions, meaning any speed limit reductions
- Temporary Regulatory Signs, including but not limited to bike lane signage, no parking
signs, and stop or yield signs
- Temporary Traffic Signals
In addition, if the Traffic Authority is to sign off on the plan, the plan must have a space for the
Traffic Authority’s signature and date as well as identify why the Traffic Authority is signing the
document.
Example:
Approved by
Traffic Authority
Date
For the approval of (insert reason here, ie: the altered centreline) only. All other aspects of this Temporary
Traffic Control Plan must follow the Temporary Traffic Control Manual, latest edition.
3
For the purposes of this document, only an improved area – asphalt or concrete – between the curb and the edge of
the right of way shall be considered a sidewalk. This is not consistent with the definition of a sidewalk in the Nova
Scotia Motor Vehicle Act.
8
MINIMUM LANE WIDTHS
As per the requirements of the Nova Scotia Temporary Workplace Traffic Control Manual, the
minimum width of any narrowed lane shall be 2.5 metres. For any street appearing on the list in
Schedule “A”, as well as for any Metro Transit routes not appearing on the list, the minimum
width of any narrowed lane shall be 3.0 metres.
9
PRECONSTRUCTION MEETINGS
Where a planned project may disrupt or affect transit routes, utility operations, underground
services or traffic flow in a major way, it will be necessary to have a preconstruction meeting to
discuss the scope of work. Stakeholders invited to attend may include (but is not limited to) the
owner/developer, contractor(s), inspector(s), Transit, Utilities, Traffic Services.
10
BYLAWS AND ORDINANCES
It is the responsibility of every contractor, owner or organization doing work in Halifax Regional
Municipality to be familiar with Provincial laws and with the Ordinances/Bylaws and Regulations
of the Halifax Regional Municipality.
