Nova Scotia Temporary Workplace Traffic Control Manual 2009, as published with reference number 2012.06.01, is approved for use on roads in Nova Scotia by the Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal. It sets minimum standards for construction, maintenance, and utility work on or by roads. The Manual is ‘permissive’ which means that permitted things are described. Things that are not stated or described in the Manual are not permitted (e.g. there is no permission to place advertising on signs or devices, therefore it is not permitted).
