Title: Traffic Control Handbook
Abstract: This manual is intended for use by any person, firm or corporation, public or private, when involved in construction, maintenance or any activity that alters the normal flow of traffic, vehicular or pedestrian, on any City right-of-way.
This manual shall be used in conjunction with Part VI of The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) for the installation of temporary traffic control.
Authority to establish local rules regarding channelization and traffic control is permitted by Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 308.330.265.
Unless specifically addressed in this manual, when the term "should" is used in the MUTCD to describe a condition or method for traffic control, it means that if that suggestion is not used an equally effective method will be used. It does not eliminate the responsibility to address the situation.
This manual does not prohibit the use of additional traffic control or warning devices as long as the minimum conditions are met.
