With summer Maintenance activities, there are many times that UDOT work coincides with other Government agencies.  Each agency, department, or division of government must have administrative regulations that establish the scope and limits of its authority.  It is important to be familiar with Administrative Rules as talked about in Chapter 3 of the UDOT MOI as well as maintenance agreements.  Knowledge of these rules and agreements provide guidance, direction, expectations, limitations, and clarification on how UDOT Maintenance forces should carry out their work activities with neighboring Government agencies.      

Administrative Rule R-918-6 “Maintenance Responsibility at Intersections, Overcrossings, and Interchanges between Class A, Class B, and or Class C Roads.”  This rule establishes boundaries of where UDOT Maintenance forces end and where City, and County responsibilities begin.  The Administrative rule is further defined by department policies which provide a greater description and more detail for maintenance work activities.  One such example is; “08A-10 Construction and Maintenance of Right-of -Way Fence”. This policy coupled with an Implementation Guideline provides UDOT Maintenance forces a greater description of how the ROW line types are to be controlled by fencing. These policies along with the Implementation Guidelines provide more details to ensure consistent application of maintenance work activities across the State.
