Construction Sites
• Construction sites must provide a continuous, safe, accessible path of travel
• Avoid displacing pedestrians
![Page 3: Temporary Facilities and Construction Site Safety · Temporary Construction •An alternate route should be provided whenever the pedestrian access route is blocked •Warning signs](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040218/5e041431afe30672b320fc4e/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Temporary Construction
• An alternate route should be provided whenever the pedestrian access route is blocked
• Warning signs shall be provided when an alternate circulation path is provided or a barricade is constructed
• Temporary facilities in the public right-of-way must conform to the requirements for permanent facilities

Barriers
• Accessible barricades should be provided when construction occurs in the public right-of-way
• Barriers defining the alternate route should:
- Be a minimum of 36-42 inches in height and continuous with the ground surface
- Extend around the entire perimeter of the construction site or entire length of the alternate circulation route
