Barricades and Block Party Guidelines
New Mesa Traffic Barricade Manual
The City of Mesa has adopted the
City of Phoenix 2007 Traffic Barricade Manual with a new
Mesa Supplement as the temporary traffic control manual for the City,
effective August 6, 2011. The new Mesa Supplement provides
information specific to Mesa, and additional guidance in several
areas. Previously, Mesa used the City of Phoenix 1998
Traffic Barricade Manual with a City of Mesa Addendum.

Temporary Traffic Control Permit
A valid
Temporary Traffic Control (TTC) permit is required for most traffic restrictions in the
City. There are some instances where a TTC permit is not
required. These are explained in the
Rules and Procedures.
The TTC Program is administered by
the Transportation Department in an effort to better manage
traffic restrictions on City streets and minimize inconvenience
and delay for drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians. The TTC
Program requires advance review and approval of most street
restrictions and provides for improved coordination
among various entities working in the public right-of-way, and
better oversight of temporary traffic control.

Block Party Guidelines
Block parties are restricted to residential streets. They
are not permitted on arterial or collector streets.
Block parties are intended for participation by the entire
neighborhood and should not be for private family celebrations
or gatherings. Party organizers should ensure that all affected
neighbors are aware of the upcoming event and street closure.
In most cases, streets may be closed from intersection to
intersection or in cul-de-sacs. Streets may not be closed at
mid-block locations or in front of a single house.
Party organizers shall request temporary street
closure(s) by contacting Transportation in person or by phone at
480-644-2160.
Transportation will arrange for the delivery and pick up of
barricades and “Street Closed†signs through a barricade
contractor. The barricades and signs will generally be
delivered either the day of or the day before the block party
and picked up within three days after the block party.
Party organizers are responsible for setting up and taking down
these barricades and signs and placing them near the location
where they were dropped off.
Streets and sidewalks may not be altered in any way in
preparation for or during a block party. Immediately following
a block party, party organizers must clear streets and sidewalks
of barricades, signs, debris and any other materials used for
the party.
A block party should not extend past 10:00 p.m. on
Sunday through Thursday, or 1:00 a.m. on Friday, Saturday and
holidays.
Entertainment such as band music, recorded music and any
amplifying equipment must be restricted to a volume that does
not disturb residents. Sound perceived as excessive or
offensive is prohibited.
Alcohol may be served and/or consumed on private
property only. Open containers or alcohol are not
permitted on public property. Alcohol should not be sold or
given to minors.
A non-refundable $25.00 fee is required to offset the cost of
barricading.
