A contractor has submitted a lane closure plan that does not resemble any of the state standards, or anything in the MUTCD. I plan to reject it on that basis.
But this got me thinking.. What sort of repercussions could result if they were allowed to proceed? And if there were an auto accident - I assume adhearing to the MUTCD or state standards must absolve the owner and/or contractor from some liability in the even of an accident. It wouldn't preclude a subsequent lawsuit, but would it deter, say some type of neglegence on the part of the contractor, owner, or engineer?
Thanks!!
