T.P.D.MV.2.6<br />

(Al/2002)<br />

6.6 Maintenance Operations Centres (MOC)<br />

6.6.1 Location and Use<br />

6.6.1.1 The patrol, emergency attendance, cleansing and maintenance of the Expressway should be<br />

administered from a Maintenance Operations Centre (MOC), conveniently located at or near<br />

a grade separated junction on the length of Expressway concerned.<br />

6.6.1.2 The length of Expressway that may be administered from one MOC, will depend on the<br />

geographical layout and the complexity of the roads in question, but about 40 km may be<br />

taken as a guide. Providing the MOC is centrally located the response time for an incident<br />

on any part of the Expressway should be under 30 minutes.<br />

6.6.1.3 Location at or near a grade separated junction is very important and for reasons of efficiency<br />

and economy, it is essential that the junction chosen has four way access to and from the<br />

Expressway. Provision of grade separated facilities on the Expressway, specifically for the<br />

MOC, may be acceptable but are unlikely to be economically justified.
