UCA's Safety Committee has
posted the Work Zone Traffic Control from IDOT-Chapter 55 so you and your
crew have easy access to it:
Work Zone Traffic Control from IDOT- Ch. 55
Members have asked which
standard takes precedence: IDOT or MUTCD?
The best answer is that contractors are only
responsible to follow the plans and specifications in your contract. If the
contractor is contracted to follow the IDOT Traffic Control Plan, then the
MUTCD should not matter. Contractors are warned not to admit MUTCD is the
custom or industry practice- this can lead to problems. Contractors always
have the recourse to send IDOT a Request for Information (RFI) asking for
clarification about which standard to follow.
