§ 148-51. Adoption of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways.

A. 

The Mount Laurel Township Council hereby finds and declares that problems of traffic control occur when traffic must be moved through or around street construction, maintenance operations and utility work, above and below ground which requires blocking the roadway and obstructing the normal flow of traffic; and that such obstructions are or can become dangerous when not properly controlled. In order to better promote the public health, safety, peace and welfare, it is necessary to establish controls and regulations directed to the safety and expeditious movement of traffic through construction and maintenance zones and to provide safety for the work force performing these operations.

B. 

The Township of Mount Laurel in the County of Burlington, State of New Jersey, does hereby adopt the current Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, hereafter known as the "MUTCD," as hereby supplemented and amended, as it controls and regulates construction maintenance operations or utility work which obstructs the normal flow of traffic. Any person, contractor or utility who fails to comply with the provisions of the MUTCD while performing such work is in violation of this Article.
