Temporary Workplace Traffic Control Manual
The Temporary Workplace Traffic Control Manual (Manual) is the means by which the Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal 'publishes' the minimum standards for traffic control at temporary workplaces on or near the roads for which he / she has legal authority.
The Manual may be downloaded in pdf format by mouse clicking on this link: www.gov.ns.ca/tran/tcm/Traffic Control Manual 20090519.pdf. Alternatively, copy the link information into your Web browser address line, and press 'enter' to start the download. The version available via the active link is the current legal edition. It becomes effective on the (Web) publication date and supercedes any and all previously published versions, whether published in hard copy or electronically.
The Manual will be revised periodically. When changes occur, the Minister will update the Web copy noted above. As soon as 'published' on the Web, the newer edition will become the current legal edition. The Department of Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal may not reach every Manual user while broadcasting notifications of changes. It is therefore the sole responsibility of Manual users to check periodically to make sure they have the latest and legal edition.
To make sure you are using the current legal version, compare the publication reference number on the first inside page of the Manual (it takes the form: 2009.05.19).
