	The statewide work zone coordinator organizes lane closures and oversees work zones on the National Highway System so traffic runs smoothly, safely and effectively with the least amount of inconvenience to motorists. Responsibilities include:
	* Coordinating lane closures across district boundaries and across the state.
	* Considering the statewide impact of work zones to traffic.
	* Ensuring the statewide traffic effects of major sporting events, the state fair and other special activities are considered when planning work zones.

	~~==District Work Zone Coordinators==~~
	Each of MoDOT’s seven districts have a work zone coordinator to organize lane closures within their district, and ensure work zones in their area run smoothly, safely and effectively with the least amount of inconvenience to motorists. Each district engineer supports the work zone coordinators and ensures they implement these guidelines internally and externally. District work zone coordinator responsibilities include:
	* Scheduling lane closures during off-peak and/or nighttime hours when possible, when traffic volumes exceed 75 percent to 80 percent of the open-lane capacity.
	* The nighttime default recommendation may be waived for construction activities that present additional risk to worker safety.
	* Scheduling work on multiple projects on the same route.
	* Working with Project Development to ensure that working days for projects requiring lane closures will be reduced, when possible.
	* Notifying the statewide work-zone coordinator before any lane closures on the National Highway System.
	* Using hourly volume tables to determine if lane closures will result in capacity traffic levels in the open lanes.
	* Collecting all proposed roadway project work from district staff.
	* Reviewing all maintenance and internal work zone activities requiring lane closures.
	* Reviewing all commercial and utility/permit work zone activities requiring lane closures.

	Some work activities present unique challenges to be performed safely during nighttime hours. An exception to perform these operations during daytime hours should be considered. The appropriate signage, detours, communication plans etc. for these activities should be included in the plans to mitigate impacts as reasonably possible. The contractor should submit a work plan outlining the details of how the operation will be conducted including traffic management, communication plans, etc. to minimize traffic delays. The Resident Engineer may allow additional lane closure time if it is demonstrated that the queues are acceptable.

	~~==Interstates and Freeways==~~
	Interstates and freeways are high volume multiple-lane routes divided by medians. These routes carry the largest volumes of traffic, and depending on the number of lanes, can affect thousands of vehicles per hour. By using the appropriate work zone guidelines on these roadways, the biggest work zone improvements can be made. The Highway Capacity Manual provides traffic-capacity information for urban freeway work zones. This information may also be used for rural freeways and interstates.

	~~==Multilane Roadways==~~
	~~Multilane roadways also have more than one lane per direction, however, because most do not have medians, they must be treated differently than interstates and freeways.~~

	The Transportation Management Plan (TMP) consists of strategies to manage the work zone impacts of a project. For non-significant projects, the TMP may consist of only a Traffic Control Plan (TCP) and any necessary Job Special Provisions (JSP). For projects that have been determined to have a significant impact (see [[#616.20.7_Significant_Projects\|EPG 616.20.7 Significant Projects]]), the TMP must include a TCP, JSPs, and an Executive Summary document that includes, at a minimum, a Transportation Operations (TO) component and a Public Information and Outreach(PI)) component. For additional information, see [[Category:909_Transportation_Systems_Management_and_Operations_(TSMO)\|EPG 909 Transportation Systems Management and Operations]] for the Work Zone Management Guidebook and associated presentation.

			Providing advance warning for the work zone or queues that may have formed are critical to a safe work zone and having the same priorities for all parties involved is important to achieve this goal. To minimize high-risk situations, law enforcement services can be used and the goals and priorities of using these services are:
			* Work Zone Awareness

			* Quality Traffic Control
			* Speed Enforcement.

	Where the law enforcement officer is placed is critical to achieving these goals. When no queue is present, the law enforcement officer should be located safely on the shoulder between a ¼ mile and ½ mile upstream of the lane drop. When a queue is present, the law enforcement officer should be a ¼ mile upstream of the queue at all times, meaning, if the queue grows, the law enforcement officer should also move back with the queue. However, if the presence of the law enforcement officer is creating a queue or worse conditions, the officer should relocate downstream of the work zone or be considered for removal.

			The use of law enforcement, both active and passive, is an effective tool to ensure traffic complies with work zone requirements arising from certain construction projects and maintenance operations. The use of law enforcement will vary from project to project and the core team decides whether to use these services. If law enforcement is selected, the core team must determine early within the scoping process the type of enforcement that will provide the greatest benefit to the safety of the work zone, the location within the work area where enforcement is intended to occur, and the schedule of when it can best be used to compliment the traffic control plan. These details should be included in the traffic control plan and discussed with [https://epg.modot.org/forms/JSP/JSP1503.docx law enforcement as described in the job special provisions]. The Law Enforcement in the Work Zone JSP shall be included when law enforcement is being considered.
