Elevated Work Platforms (EWP) Licensing Practice Exam

Which of the following is NOT typically included in a traffic control plan?

1. Warning signs

2. Mobile barriers

3. Exclusion zones

4. Speed bumps

The correct answer is: Speed bumps

A traffic control plan is essential for managing the flow of vehicle and pedestrian traffic around construction or maintenance work zones. It includes various elements aimed at ensuring safety and minimizing disruptions. In this context, speed bumps are typically not included in a traffic control plan because they serve a different function. Speed bumps are physical barriers intended to slow down vehicles, and while they can be part of traffic calming measures in certain contexts, they are not standard components in a traffic control plan designed specifically for work zones. On the other hand, warning signs, mobile barriers, and exclusion zones play critical roles in informing drivers and pedestrians about potential hazards, directing traffic flow, and keeping unauthorized individuals away from unsafe areas. These elements are integral to maintaining a secure environment during operations and managing the risks associated with work zones.
