PUBLIC READY / FAQ
Temporary Traffic Control planning, permits, agency coordination, and the handoff from upstream readiness to downstream field implementation.
01 / QUESTION
Public Ready provides upstream traffic control planning, permit coordination, Temporary No Parking support, agency submittal and review coordination, and project-readiness documentation for work affecting the public right-of-way.
02 / QUESTION
General work-zone traffic-control labor, flagging, cone or barricade deployment, maintenance, and removal are performed by separate execution providers. Public Ready supplies and posts Temporary No Parking signs when required, including when the governing city or agency does not post them. Public Ready removes only the signs Public Ready posted. Posting follows applicable agency requirements and the agreed project scope.
03 / QUESTION
A Traffic Control Plan may be required when work affects travel lanes, shoulders, sidewalks, pedestrian access, parking, or temporary traffic patterns. Final requirements are determined by the reviewing city, county, state, or other authority having jurisdiction.
04 / QUESTION
The governing public agency reviews and approves plans and permits. Public Ready is an independent private planning and coordination firm and does not issue agency approvals or represent a city, county, or state agency.
05 / QUESTION
Yes. Many projects reference the CA MUTCD, while individual jurisdictions may also use supplemental standards, standard details, permit conditions, and local review procedures. Public Ready reviews the actual project location rather than assuming requirements from an address alone.
06 / QUESTION
Review timelines vary with jurisdiction, project scope, completeness, agency workload, and the number of review or correction cycles. Public Ready supports coordination and responses, but final review timelines remain with the reviewing agency.
07 / QUESTION
Yes. Depending on the project, Public Ready can provide a planning-only scope such as Traffic Control Plan preparation or a broader scope that includes permit and agency coordination. The proposal defines the authorized services.
08 / QUESTION
Public Ready can coordinate and prepare revisions within the authorized scope based on agency comments. The extent and number of revisions depend on the agency response and any changes to the project.
09 / QUESTION
No. A completed plan does not guarantee agency approval, permit issuance, field scheduling, or authorization to begin work.
10 / QUESTION
Yes. Public Ready supplies and posts Temporary No Parking signs when required, including when the governing city or agency does not post them. Public Ready removes only the signs Public Ready posted. Posting follows applicable agency requirements and the agreed project scope. Enforcement and towing authority remain with the responsible agency.
11 / QUESTION
No. Public Ready removes only the Temporary No Parking signs Public Ready posted as part of its service. Removal of signs posted by a city, agency, or another provider is not included.
12 / QUESTION
Public Ready supports general contractors, utility providers, engineers and consultants, event coordinators, project teams, and property or facility managers.
13 / QUESTION
A plan check fee is a review fee charged by a reviewing authority for evaluating submitted traffic-control documentation. It is separate from Public Ready service fees and may be separate from permit fees. Fee structures vary by jurisdiction.
