Street - Two Flagger Closure – Denver, CO

Street - Two Flagger Closure is a City and County of Denver Department of Transportation & Infrastructure (DOTI) traffic control plan drawing for a two-flagger street closure on a residential road, showing where work-area signs, cones, a taper, no-parking signs and flaggers are placed.

The sheet is a diagram, not a questionnaire. It carries three spaces to enter the street name, a note to indicate north on the plan, and "No parking" sign wording with blank hours (?am - ?pm). Printed notes set the working rules: a minimum 12 ft. travel lane must be maintained at all times, cones are spaced 25 ft. apart, the taper is 50-100 feet maximum, signs are spaced approximately 100 feet minimum apart, and flaggers are 100' apart for low-speed local streets (<35mph).

The sheet also states that all barricades, cones and signs must follow the latest edition of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), that flaggers must follow MUTCD guidelines, be certified and use and wear required safety equipment, and that the contractor must resolve all local access and safety issues. It is marked "Drawing Not to Scale" and "Residential Roads Only", and it is not a permit: DOTI's Street Occupancy page says street occupancy permits are applied for through E-Permits, with traffic plans uploaded alongside the request.

The drawing is meant for applicants and contractors who will close part of a residential road in Denver with two flaggers and need a traffic control plan to go with their right-of-way request. The printed notes address the contractor directly: the contractor resolves local access and safety issues, and the flaggers it uses must be certified.

Exclusions and limits printed on the sheet:

• It says "Residential Roads Only", so it is not the plan for other kinds of streets.
• The flagger spacing it shows is for low-speed local streets (<35mph).
• Sidewalks must never be blocked or encumbered.

Street or alley closures for special events (not construction) are handled differently: DOTI's Street Occupancy page refers those requests to the Special Events Planning Guide, Section C: Events on Denver Streets. Parking meter bagging is also a separate application, through the Online Meter Bagging Permit System.

Complete the plan when you prepare a street occupancy request for work that uses a two-flagger closure on a residential road, because DOTI asks that traffic plans be uploaded with every E-Permits submittal. The drawing has no due date of its own.

One timing rule is printed on it: "No parking" signs must be placed a minimum of 24 hours in advance of the closure. The wording must match either option #1 (24 hours: "No parking anytime TOW AWAY ZONE at all times") or option #2 (limited: "No parking anytime TOW AWAY ZONE 7am TO 5pm"). DOTI's page adds that a Street Occupancy Permit is always required in addition to a Street Cut or Construction Permit.

The completed plan is submitted online through E-Permits, DOTI's system for right-of-way street cut, street occupancy and ROW construction permits.

• E-Permits: DOTI states that all right-of-way street cut, street occupancy and ROW construction permits must be submitted online through E-Permits. Every submittal must upload the DOTI Street Occupancy Request Worksheet and the traffic plans. Street Occupancy permits can be applied for and paid online there; the fee is not stated on this form, so use the worksheet and the DOTI page to find costs.
• DOTI page: the Street Occupancy page is at https://denvergov.org/Government/Agencies-Departments-Offices/Agencies-Departments-Offices-Directory/Department-of-Transportation-and-Infrastructure/Programs-Services/Right-of-Way-Services/Street-Occupancy. It also lists the Construction Inspection Area Map for contacting the assigned right-of-way inspector.

The drawing itself prints no mailing address or other channel. FillingPDF lets you fill out and download the PDF; submission follows the DOTI channels above.
