These are color coded and separated in the maps beginning on page 91 . The intent is to have available detour options as work occurs on the main roads ( thoroughfares ) and there is the necessity to detour traffic through the local roads . The local roads should always maintain access to local traffic and access to driveways .
The exhibits provide suggested cross streets for transportation management based on field visits conducted in August and October 2016 to verify lane widths were adequate to accommodate the detoured traffic . It should be noted that no singular cross street is recommended for a detour and where possible multiple adjacent roadways are recommended . By providing multiple options for the detour , the impact to the residential cross streets can be minimized . To promote drivers to use the earlier detour options and avoid the majority of drivers waiting until the last cross street before the road closure to detour , it is recommended that variable message signage be provided such that specific road names can be recommended for the detour .
The specific timing and implementation of closures and lane restrictions will be detailed in the maintenance of traffic plan to be submitted by the contractor . Specific conditions and recommendations contained in this traffic management plan will be communicated to the contractor in the construction
