Procedures <br />Under the direction of the Public Works Superintendent or City Engineer, public works <br />maintenance employees will make decisions concerning scheduling and the <br />procedures to be followed for daily traffic operation, maintenance needs, and <br />associated periodic and yearly detailed condition inspections. Scheduling and the <br />procedures to be followed will be based upon consideration of the following factors: <br />significance of the traffic device to driver safety, condition and effectiveness of the <br />device, standards compliance, and whether damage or condition creates an <br />immediate safety hazard. <br />In every instance, the onsite maintenance employee or sign maintenance technician <br />must assess the conditions of the traffic control device and rely on judgment and <br />experience to determine the correct action to correct problems with or maintain the <br />device.
