Mississippi traffic control documentation requirements
What Mississippi DOT asks a contractor to record about temporary traffic control, where that requirement comes from, and how strong the evidence behind it is.
What Mississippi requires
MDOT Special Provision 907-618-12: "Once work begins, daily daytime inspections and weekly nighttime inspections are required on projects with predominantly daytime work, and daily nighttime inspections and weekly daytime inspections are required on projects with predominantly nighttime work. Weekly inspections will be allowed for periods outside of active construction."
SP is on MDOT LPA Project Development Manual checklist confirming recurrence across MDOT contracts.

Daily Entries + Smart Photo Capture produce the daily daytime and weekly nighttime inspection records required by SP 907-618-12 (or daily nighttime + weekly daytime depending on project schedule). Daily Reminders auto-schedules inspection cadence per project work-time profile.
What DTCD adds beyond the requirement
- AI-powered safety analysis automates deficiency identification — exceeds the manual SP 907-618-12 inspection requirement
- CWZ 1.0 feed publishes to MDOT MS511 system
- Auto-Capture Signs documents device installation and removal with timestamps and GPS
- Public Dashboard provides MDOT real-time visibility
- Multi-Format Export supports MDOT documentation requirements
Who this helps
Contractor: SP 907-618-12 daily inspection obligation is automated with stronger evidentiary record. DOT: MDOT can verify SP compliance via Public Dashboard without inspector site visits.
On federal-aid work, 23 CFR 630 Subparts J and K apply whatever Mississippi specifies, with a compliance date of December 31, 2026 — the federal floor, explained. And after an incident the questions come from the incident, not the specification: 105 published judicial matters on that.
DTCD produces this record from the drive-through itself, and names the controlling Mississippi requirement on the generated PDF. Open a sample before deciding anything.

Draw the closure on a map and the builder reads the route, mileposts and county from Mississippi’s own public GIS, checks bridge clearance on the route and the detour, and exports a WZDx feature, a PDF or an email. It runs in the browser — nothing is submitted or stored.

Crews rarely work one state, and the record a neighbouring DOT expects is often named differently and cited somewhere else entirely. Here is how the states bordering Mississippi compare:
| State | Citation | Evidence we have |
|---|---|---|
| Alabama | Not yet verified | Agency source, high confidence |
| Arkansas | Special Provision SS-604 (Inspection of Traffic Control Devices in Construction Zones) + ARDOT Doc Express Contract Submittal System | Contract-binding spec language |
| Louisiana | DOTD Standard Plan TTC-00(B) Temporary Traffic Control General Notes | Contract-binding spec language |
| Tennessee | Not yet verified | Agency source, high confidence |
