From point "D1" to the location of the Quarry with a total of 8.06 km.
The decision to use the control devices along the three sections towards the highway under
construction was based on an engineering study and field visit; The characteristics of the signal
and road geometry, as well as its functionality and the environment, were taken into account.
The activities specified in this plan cover the maintenance of traffic and road safety in the areas
where dump trucks, yellow line equipment and light vehicles that are within the scope of the
ABZ Highway will circulate, during the period that the execution of the plan lasts. collection of
material from the quarries described in point 2.
Jobs include:
The maintenance of the sections where dump trucks, yellow line equipment and light
vehicles will circulate.
The provision of necessary facilities for the access of owners of the properties involved in
the route of the roads to the quarries.
The implementation, installation and maintenance of traffic control and safety devices
according to the duration of the transfer of material from the quarries to the road under
construction.
Control of dust emission in all unpaved sectors of the main road and detours enabled for
vehicular travel.
Transportation of personnel to work execution areas.
3. BACKGROUND
Road insecurity is a problem that affects all countries in the world, unfortunately 70% of
recorded traffic accidents occur in developing countries like ours, where accident rates have
reached critical levels, undoubtedly affecting economic and social development. of a country is
closely linked to the improvement of transportation systems. Society in general grows and
develops in cultural, social and economic aspects to the extent that there is the possibility of
communicating and moving efficiently. There is then a reciprocal relationship between
transportation systems and the social development of a country, which makes road
management a vital practice for maintaining and improving the quality of life of a people.
The current physical characteristics of some access sectors from a safety point of view, added
to the excessive speed that vehicles develop and the poor practice of drivers when moving
along the existing roads, have made the roads one of the most unsafe in Latin America,
registering a considerable number of accidents in reference to the roads in question.

The vision that the driver has of the road, as well as the lack of signage and poor condition
thereof, produces a series of impressions that divert his attention, driving becomes tense, erratic
or distracted, thus reducing the chances of accidents increase, consequently the ideal
conditions for the driver are those in which the vision of the road is dynamically stable and its
subsequent course predictable.
4. PROJECT LOCATION
The ABZ Highway is located in the Department of UUUU, the project is called: xxx , with a
length of 22.75 km.
Geographically it is located between the absolute coordinates of the UTM WGS AA, Zone XX
South, see figure No. 1.
5. GOALS
5.1 GENERAL OBJECTIVES
− Draw up the guidelines for the orientation and control of Traffic Maintenance and Road
Safety during the activities to improve access from the Quarries to the project
construction area.
− Propose the design of road traffic signage in a way that provides safety to users who
drive or operate vehicles, dump trucks and/or auxiliary equipment, through a correct
location of the vertical signs, in such a way that it is implemented on the road. optimal
road safety conditions.

7.2 FOREMAN/WORKSPERSON
It is the responsibility of all construction personnel to comply with what is described in the
plan, including the personnel of the Consortium Subcontractors.
For this Plan, two (02) types of road closure situations are generally foreseen, depending on the
different activities that will be carried out on the roads to the quarries, which are:
1. Partial road closure (Work in two phases) : in the case of execution of activities in a
single lane of the road or road, the other lane will be left open for normal traffic, and signs
will be posted on both sides with preventive and warning notices. warning; as well as
reflective or reflective tape, safety posts and orange reflective detour cones.
2. Total road closure (Work across the entire width of the road without the possibility
of detour) : In this case, when activities are required to be carried out on the entire road,
the road will be completely restricted for a maximum period of 2 hours and it will be
released. access for the transit of private vehicles for 1 hour.
When the section in need of total closure is determined, a request will be sent to the
Supervision referring to the total closure of the road in which it will describe the planned
actions that will be carried out to inform, in advance, the programming of traffic opening
times. . For the population involved within the area of influence of the road closure, this will
be done with the means available in the place such as: radio, bulletins and on-site
communication.
After the approval of the Supervision of the total closure of the road, the AAA COMPANY
will implement what is established in this plan according to the need for closure.
Additionally, floor personnel will be assigned with visual mechanisms: paddles (STOP/GO),
flags; and visible sound devices (whistles) so that residents/drivers and/or private operators
can anticipate the Consortium's activities on the road. When applicable or strictly
necessary, floor personnel will be provided with portable means of communication.
This point describes the sections of quarries and the types of signs for the scope of this
Plan.

c) Plastic Channels: they are devices, made of plastic material, used to restrict and
channel vehicular traffic. When a total or partial closure of the road is generated,
the plastic channels must have a similar design shown in Figure No. 14.
For river transport, it will be carried out in the transport rafts authorized by the Work
Resident of COMPANY AAA. All personnel in the rafts must have a life jacket at the
time of transport.
The period of Responsibility for Traffic Maintenance and Road Safety operations will
begin with the access maintenance operations and will end on the day of completion
of material extraction from the quarries.
10. EXECUTION
The identification of the areas where traffic control will be implemented will be as follows:
1. Identification through the activities to be carried out on the work front; The procedures,
plans and other materials will be provided at the time of the preparatory and initial
meetings.
The control of pollution generated by vehicle traffic, when dust affects the development of the
work, the population within the area of influence and the Consortium personnel, will be
mitigated with the irrigation of water with cisterns.
