What traffic management solutions are available on UK roads?
Traffic control is essential on many roads in the UK. Without it, there would be far more accidents and incidents. To help, we supply merchandise that can force drivers to slow down and prevent a collision. In our inventory, you can find speed bumps for domestic, commercial, and public spaces. We even have coach screw fixings for clients that need them.
Road traffic management is when you direct pedestrians and vehicles around disruptions. This may be road surfacing, tree removal, or an accident. By managing traffic efficiently and safely, you can reduce the chance of vehicles crashing into each other. It can also protect people who may be working in the area and can prevent disruptive road closures.
On our UK roads, you will see a number of traffic management solutions. Let's have a look at some of the more common ones.
Lane closure
One method would be using a lane closure. This is when you close off one or more lanes of a dual carriageway or motorway. Normally, this occurs due to repairs or highway maintenance. Lane closures could be rolling, temporary, or fixed.
Give and take
Another solution would be to use give and take traffic management. What you do here is close off one side of a road and start tapering off the traffic into one file. When the road clears, drivers pass at their own discretion.
Since the drivers decide when it is safe for them to move, you can't use give or take where there are fast-moving vehicle. It is the same if there is lots of traffic. You are only able to use this strategy if the road speed limit is 30mph or less. Additionally, the method is only suitable for locales where a driver can easily see both ends of a site.
