How Much Does Temporary Traffic Management Cost?

Temporary traffic management costs typically range from £500 to £2,000 per day, depending on the project size, duration, and complexity. The type of road significantly impacts costs because urban areas with high traffic volumes may need more intricate systems.

We also consider the number of traffic control systems, such as temporary traffic lights, signs, and barriers, each varying in price depending on specifications like LED versus conventional lighting. Additionally, specialised equipment such as Variable Message Signs (VMS) and Automated Cone Laying Machines may be required for large projects, increasing costs.

Compliance with local council regulations or national standards, such as Chapter 8 of the Traffic Signs Manual, might require extra certifications, thus influencing pricing. We provide customised quotes based on specific project needs, ensuring transparency and value for money.

What Types of Temporary Traffic Management Are Available?

We offer various types of temporary traffic management to suit different projects, adhering to the latest regulations and standards for highway safety, including the Traffic Signs Manual and Chapter 8 compliance.

Portable Traffic Signals: Ideal for managing single or multi-lane traffic flow, these signals can be quickly deployed to coordinate traffic at intersections, especially during peak construction times.
Temporary Road Signs: Essential for guiding drivers through changed traffic conditions, our signs follow prescribed design standards for clarity and visibility both day and night.
Pedestrian Barriers: Ensure the safety of pedestrians around worksites. They are made from durable materials such as polypropylene and can be configured to various lengths to suit different site layouts.
Speed Bumps: Help manage vehicle speed in critical areas, particularly near schools or residential zones adjacent to work sites. These bumps are designed to be highly visible and endure impacts from all types of vehicles.

Each solution is customised to the unique demands of your project, ensuring smooth operation and safety. Our experienced team will assess your needs to provide the most effective traffic management plan.

What Are the Benefits of Temporary Traffic Management?

Temporary traffic management provides numerous advantages:

Enhanced Safety: Protects both workers and road users during projects. We implement safety measures such as temporary barriers, warning signs, and pedestrian crossings using equipment like the TL-2 Crash Cushion, which meets British Standards BS EN 1317.
Traffic Flow Control: Minimises congestion and disruption. Our adaptive signal control technology adjusts traffic light timings in real-time based on current traffic conditions, preventing bottlenecks and ensuring smoother flow.
Flexibility: Can be adapted to suit project changes and durations. We employ modular systems like portable traffic light systems that can be swiftly reconfigured for various scenarios, maintaining efficiency as projects evolve.
Regulatory Compliance: Meets legal requirements for roadworks. We ensure that every setup adheres to Chapter 8 of the Traffic Signs Manual, crucial for legal compliance and safety.

Our services are designed to maximise these benefits, ensuring effective traffic management across all projects in urban and rural settings. Contact us to discuss your specific needs.

How Long Does Temporary Traffic Management Take?

The setup of temporary traffic management typically takes between 2 to 4 hours, depending on the complexity of the site and traffic conditions. Our team uses traffic cones, barriers, and portable traffic signals compliant with all necessary safety regulations to ensure that every setup is conducted safely.

For larger sites, we deploy variable message signs (VMS) and automated flagger assistance devices (AFADs) to further streamline the flow of vehicles and pedestrians. Adaptations to traffic management systems can be made swiftly as project requirements change, ensuring minimal disruption and maximum efficiency.

Once the project is complete, dismantling and removal are equally prompt, often taking less time than the initial setup due to the efficient processes in place. We focus on timely service, maintaining compliance with local council permits and industry standards throughout.
