Use this Work Zone Traffic Control audit checklist to standardize site visits and verify compliance on roadwork projects. It covers pre-start meetings and documentation, including tailgate meetings, daily hazards, attendee sign-off, medical facility details, and weekly toolbox talks. Inspect traffic control setup for correct sign spacing and height, condition of signs and stands, arrow board placement and visibility, proper taper length, and clear buffer zones. Assess attenuator and pickup trucks for current inspections and registration, driver reports and medical certification, cleanliness, fire extinguishers, and emergency triangles. Confirm personnel training and required PPE such as high-visibility apparel, hard hats, safety glasses, and footwear.

Traffic Management Inspection
This traffic management inspection template helps supervisors assess the safety of road and work zone operations. Verify if a traffic management plan or traffic control plan is required and present on site. Check that signs and devices are in good condition, correctly sized, duplicated where needed, and installed at proper height, position, and distance. Confirm retroreflective materials and visibility are suitable and not obscured by vehicles or vegetation. Review cones and bollards spacing and size, taper type and length, crest and curve setups, and control of property access. Ensure pedestrians and cyclists are accommodated. Inspect traffic controllers for valid certification, high visibility clothing, escape routes, and appropriate signage such as prepare to stop and traffic controller ahead. Record site, supervisor, contractor, and timing details, along with any modifications to the approved plan.
