Traffic Planning & TM Solutions
Our Lantra M7 qualified Technical Officers can plan any type of work on ALL single carriageways and on dual carriageways up to 40mph. This includes but is not limited to:
​
- Stop / Go
- Temporary Traffic lights
- Road Closures
- Temporary Speed limits
- Lane Closures
- Temporary Pedestrian Traffic light Crossings
We can put together a range of documents from full comprehensive traffic management plans for events, including temporary pedestrian crossings, site access plans & Event directional signage to basic two-way light plans. We also apply to the local authority for any required permits (TTRO's). All our plans comply with applicable UK law.
​
We use a variety of documents in conjunction with each other to ensure our designs and solutions fall within the law. some of these can be found below
Traffic Sign Manual (TSM) Parts:
The Red Book (Safety at Streetworks) should be used by all TM operatives, it sets out the bare minimum of the law in England, failure to meet the standards in this book is failure to comply with the law. The Pink Book gives advice on the use of portable vehicular signals (traffic lights)
TSRGD (Traffic Sign Regulations and General Directions 2016 acts as the sign bible and gives information on sign design. Drawings can be found on gov.uk
We offer a full-service package for events which includes
​
Traffic Survey - One or more site visits to survey the road layout and surroundings
​
Traffic Consultation - Meeting to discuss initial requirements.
Traffic plan 1st draft - Depending on requirements this could be a simple site plan and set up or it could be a full Traffic management plan including things like the impact of the event on the local road network and transport infrastructure. this will include a basic costing breakdown of expected costs for equipment and staff etc.
Traffic Plan Final Draft - A final draft of the traffic plan with changes made through meetings with event organisers and relevant traffic authorities, road organisations (Bus and taxi firms) and, the emergency services. Where required we notify local businesses and residents of disruption.
TTRO application - We will apply to the local authority on your behalf for any relevant orders to be made (this must happen a minimum of 12 weeks prior to your event date)
​
Equipment Hire - Using our extensive range of equipment a full hire package can be created to cover all your needs
​
Advance Warning |Signs - 14 days prior to your event advance warning signs must be placed out to warn drivers of disruption. These signs display a telephone number which will direct people to your own page on our site which gives more information on the disruption.
​
Installation, Marshalls & maintenance - We will install and inspect the full design, we can support events with 24/7 call-outs and maintenance schedules. We can also provide Traffic operatives to cover road closure points for events where necessary, this allows vehicular traffic associated with the event to pass through the closure - only a trained operative can install and remove a closure point to allow an authorised vehicle through.
​
​
Any part of this service can be fully tailored to your event and we offer a range of individual services to suit your needs, the best way to find out more is to get in touch for a free, no-obligation chat. Every event we work for will have a fully tailored package designed to meet their needs.
Event & Emergency Service access routes
Often overlooked at events is dedicated access for emergency services. This can be vital in speeding up emergency response when on-site teams are unable to cope with an incident, it reduces the need for staff to direct vehicles, and is generally one less thing for event managers to worry about.
Countless times I have been on poorly signed sites when traders, suppliers, and punters alike struggle to find the site or the right gate to access it, I have also seen delays in Ambulance service paramedics responding to incidents due to difficulty finding site access.
Event and Production signage can help to reduce confusion, in turn, lowering the burden on the local traffic network which surrounding many festival sites in Cornwall is not designed for such heavy traffic use.
​
We have an in-house sign designer who can create fully compliant road signs for your event, some examples of which can be seen below.
