METHODOLOGY
The following principles will be adhered to in the development of an effective traffic management plan.
▪
▪
▪
▪
▪
▪
▪
▪
▪
The work of erecting, altering and removing traffic management arrangements must be carried out and / or
supervised by an individual in possession of a CSCS card for the Signing, Lighting and Guarding. Once the
site has been set up it can be maintained by an individual who has completed the one-day Health and Safety
at Roadworks Training. Avoidance or reduction of risk where risks cannot be eliminated.
To WARN traffic of the risk sufficiently in advance of works & obstructions in the road.
To INFORM traffic of the nature of the risk ahead.
To DIRECT the travelling public & to aid them in their decisions while moving though the space & the
requirement for safety zones adjacent to the works area.
To inform the travelling public of the END of the area subjected to the traffic management plan.
To provide clear, credible & appropriate signage & speed limit reductions where these are considered
necessary.
To minimise the potential for conflict between road users.
All works will be carried out in accordance with Traffic Management Plans and all works on live carriages will
be carried out in accordance with Chapter 8 of the Traffic Signs Manual.
Site specific traffic management plans will be prepared in accordance with this Method Statement.
Enabling Works
▪
▪
▪
All battery powered devices i.e. temporary traffic signals, walkie talkies etc. to be fully charged and tested as
fully operational.
Check all signs are clean, unmarked and are the appropriate size for TTMP.
Full Traffic Management Plan provided to Work gang as part of the Site-Specific Health and safety plan. This
will include all design parameters and sign location and distances in accordance with Chapter 8 of the Traffic
Signs Manual (November 2010) and Guidance for the Control and Management of Traffic at Road Works,
Second Edition 2010. (Temporary Traffic Management Plan to be supplied or designed in accordance with

Team will arrive on site and park all vehicles at a safe location off the road and not obstructing any
pedestrians.
The traffic management team will first inspect the site to make sure work can be carried out in a safe manner.
They will then proceed to the locations where the required signs are to be erected. Each works location will
be independently risk assessed to determine that the proposed TTMP plan is adequate to facilitate the safe
execution of the works. Any further amendments to the TTMP plan will be incorporate to reflect the site
conditions. These amendments will be clearly
All signs, cones, barriers etc. is off loaded and stored safely away from the road, and not obstructing any
pedestrians.
WK 001 Roadworks ahead signs are to be setup first at their shown locations on the TTMP both approaching
and leaving the works. (Sign leaving the works to be accompanied by P 010 END supplementary plate)
All other warning, informative, and direction signs are taken to their location as shown on the TTMP and left
face down off the road not obstructing pedestrians.
Work zone, longitudinal safety zone and taper lengths are set out on off the road, not obstructing pedestrians,
using cones to mark the beginning and end of each zone. The space between is then filled with other cones
at various intervals depending on design parameters.
Two WK 061 flagman warning signs and a WK 095 stop here on red sign are now setup facing approaching
traffic in accordance with design parameters.
Flagmen located on footpath next to each stop here on red sign will each have a stop/go sign, they will
communicate with each other once traffic has quietened and area will be put on all stop. All Stop will remain
in place until the rest of the TTMP has been set up.
Other team members will now erect signage starting from the furthest away from work zone and work their
way in.
Cones earlier marked out on side of road will be moved on to road and placed in there required positions
marking out zones and tapers.
Barriers will now be moved in to place forming a perimeter around work area.
All other signs will now be erected according to TTMP.
Set out crew will now communicate to the flagmen the setup is complete and the all stop can be removed.
Flagman signs and stop here on red signs used for set up are removed and stored in a safe location.

A check of the site will take place making sure all that is left is only traffic management equipment and that
the road is now safe for live traffic.
Two WK 061 flagman warning signs and a WK 095 stop here on red sign are now setup facing approaching
traffic in accordance with design parameters.
Flagmen located on footpath next to each stop here on red sign will each have a stop/go sign, they will
communicate with each other once traffic has quietened and area will be put on all stop.
All Barriers, cones and signs on the road are to be removed and stored off the road safely not obstructing
pedestrians.
Once the road is clear, removal team will communicate this to the flagman who will cease the all stop and
remove flagman and stop here on red signs and store safely off the road not obstructing pedestrians.
Warning signs will now be removed from their positions starting with those closest to the work zone working
out.
Last signs to be removed are the Roadworks ahead signs facing approaching traffic.
Reload vehicles with all equipment.

Good practice will be used through using T.I.L.E (Task, Individual, Load and Environment). All loads will be
shared between operatives and manual lifting is to be avoided where practical.
All manual lifting should in the first instance be assessed if it is possible to perform the task by using
hydraulic lifting aids and if so, then the lifting aid must take priority and be deployed if safe and practicable to
do so.
Site operatives will be in possession of a valid manual handling certificate.
