All regulations are subject to change during the implementation of the DOT Department, it is being built by our hardworking department staff and will be implemented soon. The DOT department is not fully built yet, though regulations should still be followed.
Tow Trucks
Tow trucks are in charge of "service calls" such as tire changes and refuelling vehicles out of gas. As well as calls for service (non emergency calls) and emergency calls requested by police.
Tow trucks are ONLY to respond to MVI's (Motor vehicle incidents) and impounds when requested by law enforcement.
Tow trucks may ONLY carry small cones, as there is realistically not enough space on a tow truck for barrel cones, skinny cones, etc.
Tow trucks may not carry roadworking equipment, only equipment for the job they are doing.
Tow trucks may NOT act as a traffic control vehicle, unless deemed absolutely necessary due to lack of resources/traffic control persons
Tow trucks MUST have tire change equipment, oil absorbant, and a gas can at all times.
The make, model and reason for tow, should always be provided to dispatch (If dispatch is active).
All MVI's a truck arrives at before law enforcement or is a witness to, must be investigated and cleared prior to tow. Approval from law enforcement is required for all police tows.
MVI's with other vehicles MUST be reported to law enforcement, along with accidents that have caused property damage.
ALL Tow operators must be properly trained by approved Tow Operater trainers.
Traffic Vehicles
Traffic vehicle duties are to assist with roadwork, clean up any debris, and control the flow of traffic by closing lanes, roads or highways.
Traffic vehicles not including the cone truck, may only carry small cones, skinny cones, and traffic signs. Any other road signage will need to be brought by a CONE TRUCK. This includes road barricades and other larger equipment.
Traffic vehicles may carry roadworking equipment, such as jackhammer, chainsaws, oil absorbant, etc.
Cone trucks may ONLY carry traffic control equipment, and not any equipment for roadwork such as chainsaw, jackhammer, etc.
Salt trucks and street sweepers MUST be accompanied by a truck with an arrow board at ALL times.
ALL traffic control persons must be properly trained by appropriate DOT Trainers.
General Regulations
Callsigns are to be TC-XXX for traffic control, or TO-XXX for Tow Operators. Supervisor ranks can use TCS-XXX or TOS-XXX.
ALL DOT vehicles must ALWAYS follow all laws, even in the event of a request for service from police. This includes, but is not limited to, red lights, stop signs, speeding, etc.
ALL DOT workers must ALWAYS wear a hi-vis vest/uniform when performing their duties outside of their vehicle. This doesn't count for fueling up, on break or anything else that is not work related.
ONLY Tow trucks may respond to service calls, and only tow trucks may carry tire change equipment.
Traffic trucks following behind a slow vehicle as an escort must be about 5-6 car lengths behind at all times. To give drivers behind reasonable time to change lanes/slow down.
Any vehicle other than the cone truck, salt truck, street sweeper, and tow truck may clear road debris, and deal with light outages (Traffic and street lamp).
All requests by a rank higher than yourself, must be abided by, if you disagree with these orders you may do so in a department ticket, but do not try to deal with this in the middle of work. If the request by a superior puts your safety at risk, you are not required to do so.
ALL Vehicles working for the DOT other than the private company(will have own livery), MUST use the server provided DOT livery's and NOT the default livery's. Failure to do so will result with appropriate action to right the issue by server staff.
If there is any issue's on the job, follow the chain of command in requesting assistance. Please only request a supervisor for legitimate reasons such as a DOT vehicle involved in an MVI, an employee breaking regulations or failing to perform there duties, etc.
All whitelisted players will have to be certified and trained for the vehicles they are going to use, this includes equipment operation for bigger maintenance jobs
