§ 13-6. Protection of traveling public.

A. 

The applicant shall keep all trenches and/or street openings or site of the temporarily relocated commercial, residential or historic structure within the public right-of-way properly guarded through the use of breakaway barricades, flashing lights, signs and reflectorized drums consistent with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. The applicant shall maintain one lane of traffic in each direction, except in the immediate vicinity of the excavation and only during the duration of the permitted work. In the vicinity of the excavation, one lane shall be kept open and alternated in the direction of traffic through use of uniformed traffic directors. While the work is in progress, uniformed traffic directors shall be provided at all times from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Flashing lights or reflectorized drums shall be provided from 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. and shall clearly delineate the single lane of travel designated during the permitted work. Also, a forty-eight-inch-by-forty-eight-inch W20-1F "Construction Ahead" sign and a forty-eight-inch-by-forty-eight-inch W20-7A(S) "Flagman Ahead" sign shall be installed in each direction as advance warning sign placement in accordance with the following:

(1) 

Urban low speed, 40 mph or below: 600 feet and 500 feet, respectively, between signs.

(2) 

Urban high speed, 45 mph or above: 850 feet and 500 feet between signs.

(3) 

If the street upon which the work to be performed, or where the temporarily relocated commercial, residential or historic structure is moved into the public right-of-way during reconstruction or renovation, is a dead-end street or is less than 600 feet long, the applicant shall post such signs at the intersection or intersections of the street with any intersecting highway or street.

B. 

At the expiration of the permitted four-day period of operation or temporary relocation, the applicant shall return the roadway to operation of one lane of traffic in each direction.

C. 

No excavation within and/or immediately adjacent to roadways available to traffic shall remain open overnight.

D. 

No person, firm, partnership, association, corporation, company or organization of any kind (hereinafter referred to as "person") shall move any building over, along or across any highway or street in the Borough of Lavallette, or obstruct any highway or street, including right-of-way, in the Borough of Lavallette with a temporarily relocated commercial, residential or historic structure, during the Summer Beach Season as designated by the Mayor and Council pursuant to §§ 7-8 and 7-14 of the Ordinances of the Borough of Lavallette.

E. 

It shall be the duty of the applicant to properly guard any excavation, storage piles, material or temporarily relocated structures by the erection of suitable barriers by day and lights by night or by warning signs and watchmen if deemed necessary by the Superintendent of Public Works or his/her designee. The applicant shall be liable for any neglect to safeguard the traveling public. If the excavation extends the full width of the road, only 1/2 of it shall be made at one time and shall be backfilled before the other 1/2 is excavated, so as not to interfere with traffic. In any other case, there shall be maintained at all times a roadway of at least 18 feet in width.

F. 

When an applicant is obligated to supply uniformed police officers on the job site as a condition of his permit, all arrangements shall be made through the Traffic Safety Division of the Lavallette Police Department, which shall assign the officers 48 hours in advance of the commencement of work on the project in accordance with procedures set forth in § 48-26 of the Ordinances of the Borough of Lavallette.

G. 

Indemnity. In accepting a permit, the applicant shall be deemed to have agreed to indemnify and save harmless the Borough of Lavallette, its elected and appointed officials and employees from and against any and all loss, costs or damages incurred by reason of any damage to any property, injury to any person or any loss of life resulting from any negligence of the applicant, its contractors, agents or servants in performing the work covered by the permit.
