The MMUTCD Chapter 6D provides the requirements and guidance for non-motorized traffic accommodations in construction and maintenance work zones, as well as for work performed under permits. As stated in the MMUTCD:

“The needs and control of all road users (motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians within the highway, or on private roads open to public travel), including persons with disabilities (in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), Title II, Paragraph 35.130) through a TTC zone shall be an essential part of highway construction, utility work, maintenance operations, and the management of traffic incidents.” (Michigan Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices, 2011, p. 547 Part 6)​
