	MoDOT’s Business Plan establishes safety as the top strategic issue for the department. This applies to both the individual working within the highway right of way as well as the one operating a motor vehicle affected by such work. To provide for the well-being of both the worker and the motorist in these temporary traffic control situations, minimum expectations have been established in the following documents.

	[[616.27 Traffic Control for Field Operations\|EPG 616.27 Traffic Control for Field Operations]] (TCFO) contains information on the proper deployment of temporary traffic control measures on the state highway system and is based upon Part 6 of the MUTCD, as well as MoDOT policies and best practices. TCFO is applicable to incident management, maintenance, permit and utility operations performed on MoDOT right of way. A maintenance operation is considered any field operation performed by a MoDOT employee. TCFO is divided into two major parts. The first part contains basic temporary traffic control guidelines used on the state highway system. These guidelines provide insight into the development of the typical applications and may be used by supervisors to develop a temporary traffic control plan for a particular situation not covered by one of the typical applications. The second part contains the most common temporary traffic control plans needed for work accomplished within the highway right of way. These typical applications feature information on and a schematic of how the temporary traffic control zone is to be set up.
