Right-of-Way Work
MOT Plans & Maintenance of Traffic Permits in Florida
Any work that blocks a sidewalk, a parking lane, or a travel lane needs an approved Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) plan before a single cone goes down. Crane lifts, concrete pours, dumpster placement, roofing deliveries, utility connections, driveway work: if it touches the public right-of-way, the city or county wants to see exactly how you will keep cars, bikes and pedestrians moving safely.

Who Needs an MOT Permit?
General contractors, roofers, crane operators, concrete and paving contractors, utility contractors, plumbers making sewer or water connections, developers, and property owners doing work that reaches the street or sidewalk. If you are not sure whether your job needs one, ask us. Getting it wrong can mean a stop-work order, a fine, or a lift that cannot happen on the day it was scheduled.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does an MOT permit take?
It depends on the jurisdiction, the type of road and how long the closure lasts. A simple sidewalk or parking-lane closure can move quickly; work on a state road or a multi-week lane closure takes longer. We give you a realistic timeline with your quote.
Do I need a signed and sealed MOT plan?
Many jurisdictions require one, especially for lane closures and state roads. Some accept FDOT standard index sheets for simple setups. We confirm what your city or county requires before we quote.
Can you get the permit if I already have an MOT plan?
Yes. If your plan is already prepared, we review it against the jurisdiction’s requirements and handle the application and approval.
What if my dates change?
We can request extensions or date changes. Tell us as early as possible, because some jurisdictions need notice before the original permit dates.
