Temporary traffic control and MOT plans
Site-specific plans that show exactly how traffic, pedestrians and cyclists move safely past your work, and that your permit reviewer can approve.
Plan types
- Lane closures
- Single and multi-lane closures on two-lane, multilane and divided roads, with tapers, buffers and arrow boards sized to the posted speed.
- Shoulder and roadside work
- Work on the shoulder, in the clear zone or behind the curb, where the travel lanes stay open.
- Flagging operations
- Two-lane, two-way operations controlled by flaggers, with flagger stations and advance warning.
- Intersections
- Work in or near intersections and signals, including turn-lane closures and side-street approaches.
- Detours and road closures
- Full closures with signed detour routes, local access and coordination with emergency services.
- Pedestrian and bicycle routes
- Sidewalk and bike lane closures with accessible temporary routes that meet ADA requirements.
- Multi-phase construction
- Phased traffic shifts for longer projects, with a separate layout for each phase.
What a plan includes

- Arrow board, message board and flagger locations where needed
- Work hours, phasing and notes for the setup crew
- References to the governing FDOT Standard Plans and MUTCD sections
- Signed and sealed by a Florida licensed professional engineer when required
Common questions
What is the difference between a TTC plan and an MOT plan?
They are the same thing. Florida agencies and contractors often still say MOT (maintenance of traffic), while FDOT and the MUTCD now use the term temporary traffic control (TTC).
Can I just use an FDOT Index 102 standard sheet?
Sometimes. Many permits require a site-specific plan that shows how the standard applies to your location, or that covers conditions the standard does not, such as driveways, intersections, multiple phases or a detour.
Which agencies do you prepare plans for?
FDOT districts, Florida counties and cities, and private developments that connect to public roads.
