maintenance of traffic (MOT)

Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) involves implementing specific safety measures during road work or construction to ensure the safe and efficient flow of vehicles and pedestrians. This includes using signs, cones, barriers, flaggers, and temporary signals to direct traffic, warn drivers of upcoming work zones, and prevent accidents. The goal is to protect workers and maintain road safety while minimizing disruptions. Proper MOT planning and setup are essential for smooth traffic movement and safety during maintenance activities, balancing the needs of construction work with ongoing transportation demands.
