Who reviews traffic control plans in Augusta

|---|---|---|

GDOT's traffic control rules are in Special Provision Section 150, Traffic Control, which calls for a certified Worksite Traffic Control Supervisor and the Engineer's approval of traffic control plans. Utility work on state routes needs a Utility Facility Encroachment Permit, filed in the Georgia Permit Application System.
