1) Book 7 Training - The Ontario Traffic Manual’s Book 7 (Temporary Conditions) has been developed to provide basic requirements for traffic control in work zones during roadway or utility construction and maintenance operations on or adjacent to public highways including ramps and municipal roads and streets, (as well as other public ways to which road traffic has access).
Safety for workers and road users is paramount, especially workers who set up, operate, and remove traffic control measures. The purpose of this book is to provide current best practices for traffic control to be adhered to for work on MTO highways. As well, individuals or agencies who perform work on any street or highway open to the public in the province of Ontario should also apply these guidelines to order to achieve satisfactory levels of safety for workers and road users. Safety in road work zones depends on the application of a number of key elements which must work together as a system or a “safety chain”, which is only as strong as its weakest link.
