Course Information
This course is for supervisors or workers involved in street and highway work who are expected to provide a safe work zone. Workers who have a need for ANY type of traffic control can benefit from this training, including those in utilities, rail, road construction, maintenance, and city/county/state employees.
Participants will gain in-depth knowledge of the entire process of planning, designing, installing, maintaining, and monitoring work zone traffic control. It will include temporary work zones, planning work zones, traffic patterns, and pedestrian patterns. Course attendees will participate in tabletop design activities where they will use working scale models to design temporary work zone plans.
Course meets Federal Highway Administration, ND and MT Department of Transportation specifications, and provides students with an opportunity to understand the industry standards for maintaining traffic through a work zone.
Students will receive specific sections from the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) and walk away with a working knowledge of how to utilize the book. All attendees will complete the ND Flagger Exam and, upon successful completion, will receive their ND Flagger certification.
It is recommended for supervisors to take a traffic control refresher course every five years.
