made with local agencies.

returning any and all state highway facilities to the state or condition that existed prior
to the EVENT.

traffic control for the EVENT, or to provide additional enforcement for the EVENT;
you will be responsible for paying the full cost to provide these resources.

way.

injuries which may result from my participation in the ( 2016 Arboretum

to enforce any right or obligation under this Agreement, the parties hereto agree that
any such action or proceeding shall be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction
situated in Thurston County, Washington, and EVENT COORDINATOR herein
submits to jurisdiction thereunder.
Traffic Control
1. WSDOT has determined that a traffic control plan is necessary for this EVENT.
Operational details specific to the EVENT are contained in EXHIBIT C, attached
hereto. All components of the traffic control plan shall conform to the standards of
the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD).
Such plans must be approved by the WSDOT Regional traffic engineer(s) and are
coordinated by the State Traffic Engineer for inter-regional events. In addition, traffic
control plans shall meet the following requirements and restrictions:
• EVENT COORDINATOR is responsible for acquiring all traffic control
devices, and shall have all traffic control devices installed per approved plan
prior to commencement of the EVENT.
• Traffic control operations shall be performed by certified naggers, or off duty
law enforcement officers;
• Any rolling traffic break (intentional slowing of traffic through a moving
roadblock, provided by WSP) shall operate at a speed greater than 35 mph on
full access control, freeway type highways. in no event shall any vehicle
exceed the regulatory speed limits.
• Traffic control plans may include proposals to close shoulders, lanes, or entire
sections of state highways. Information about the proposed closures including
dimensions such as overall distance, lane or shoulder widths, times and dates,
and detour plans shall be included in the approved traffic control plans.
Closures on interstate and other access controlled, freeway type highways will
not be allowed.
• Road closures will be considered only where no other traffic control strategies
appear satisfactory, and where an adequate detour route is available. The
EVENT COORDINATOR is required to provide notification of the closure,at
least 72 hours in advance, to all fire and law enforcement departments,
ambulance companies, and transit agencies that would be affected by the
closure. The EVENT COODINATOR is required to comply with RCW
47.48.020, a copy of which is hereto attached. (The copy of RCW 47.48.020
has been provided as a courtesy. It may or may not have current amendments.
EVENT COORDINATOR is responsible for reading and complying with any
subsequent amendments to the statute that are not attached). Notice of closure
signs posted under purview of this statute shall read, at a minimum, 'SR TO
BE CLOSED day, date, time AT location.' The signs shall have 2-inch
minimum size capital black letters on a white background with a black border
and shall be fabricated so the sign will not be affected by weather conditions.
2. If elements of the traffic control plan such as road or lane closures, or rolling traffic
breaks impact normal traffic operations, a pre-event meeting, scheduled by the
EVENT COODINATOR may be required. The EVENT COODINATOR, WSDOT,
WSP should attend this meeting, along with a representative of any local agency
impacted by the EVENT. The purpose of the meeting is to ensure that the traffic
control plan and related operational procedures are finalized and participants
understand their roles and responsibilities prior to commencement of the EVENT.
Minor events (as determined by WSDOT or WSP) may not require this operational
meeting.
3. EVENT COORDINATOR and WSDOT do agree that operational decisions and/or
emergency situations may require road/lane closures to be opened immediately.
WSP is responsible for traffic enforcement, and has final authority regarding the
location and specific time of day that any road/lane closures, or any other part of the
traffic control plan may be implemented. Neither WSDOT nor WSP shall be liable
for any damages, or loss arising from the decision to reopen lanes during an event
closure.
Please indicate your concurrence by signing and returning the enclosed copy of this
Agreement to the South Central Region Traffic Office. Once received, SCR Traffic will
sign and return to you a copy of the Agreement for your records. Failure to do so, or any
alteration of this document, will render this Agreement invalid. If you have any questions
