A permit granting permission for the temporary closure of a road for a reasonable length of time for a parade, celebration, festival or any other purpose may be issued by the Road Commission only to the governing body of a city, village or township.

Application for the permit must be made at least 30 days prior to the event, to provide the Road Commission ample time to review the event with the governing city, village or township.

The application, supplied by the Road Commission, shall state the nature of the activity, the proposed dates and times to close and reopen the roadway to traffic and such other information that the Road Commission may require. The Road Commission shall approve the reasonable period of time. A copy of a resolution shall also accompany the application from the city, village or township requesting permission for the closure or partial closure.

A permit shall be issued subject to the following conditions:

• The closure or partial closure and the use of a detour route shall not unduly interfere with the safe and free movement of traffic.

• A suitable alternate location is not available for the parade, celebration or festival that is more acceptable for traffic safety and causes less interruption of traffic.

• A closure or partial closure normally shall be allowed only during daylight hours. When temporary nighttime closure is permitted, points of potential hazard, barricades and warning signs shall be lighted at the applicant's expense. The lighting shall be in accordance with requirements and specifications of the Road Commission.

The Road Commission on an individual basis, due to the variable nature of the event will review all driveway approach design features.

Traffic control devices installed in conjunction with the closure or partial closure and the detour route shall conform to the provisions of the Michigan Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices.

Required traffic control devices may be furnished and installed either by the local governing body or by the Road Commission. Costs arising from the installation, maintenance and removal of such devices shall be borne by the applicant.

The local governing body shall provide necessary police and fire supervision.

The local governing body shall provide the Road Commission with a certificate of insurance for comprehensive general liability, on an occurrence basis, in the minimum amount of $500,000 per person and $1,000,000 per occurrence. The Livingston County Road Commission shall be listed as an additional named insured on the certificate.
