Lane closure and detour plans for work on Greensboro streets and NCDOT roads in Guilford County.
Plans for work in Greensboro
LADMA Traffic Control draws traffic control plans for contractors, utilities and property owners working in Greensboro. We cover lane and shoulder closures, sidewalk closures with pedestrian detours, full road closures with detours, and utility and fiber work.
You send the location and the scope. We draw the plan to the standards the reviewing agency uses and deliver it as a PDF you can attach to your permit application.
Greensboro has its own online request for closing a lane, street or sidewalk on city streets. State-maintained roads go through NCDOT Division 7, whose office is in Greensboro.
Who reviews traffic control plans in Greensboro
| Road or topic | Who reviews | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| City streets | City of Greensboro | Temporary Right of Way Closure request, filed online on the City lane closure site |
| State-maintained roads | NCDOT Division 7 (Alamance, Caswell, Guilford, Orange, Rockingham) | Encroachment Agreement |
| What the City form asks for | City of Greensboro | Location, purpose, street or sidewalk blockage, number of lanes, sidewalks and parking spaces affected, and dates |
Plans follow the NCDOT Roadway Standard Drawings, Division 11, Work Zone Traffic Control, and the North Carolina Supplement to the MUTCD. Work in NCDOT right of way needs an Encroachment Agreement, filed online, with the local district office doing the first review.
Local rules to plan around
- Applicants agree to follow Chapter 18, Article III of the Greensboro Code of Ordinances.
- Having the plan ready before you file makes the City form quick to complete, since it asks for the same details the plan shows.
The City regularly posts lane closures for water line rehabilitation work.
Office names, forms and lead times change. Confirm the current rules with the agency before you apply.
