Independent Temporary Traffic Management Audits
To ensure your Traffic Management crews and Sub-Contractors meet the required standard on-site, we can offer to carry out an Independent Traffic Management Audit.
The audit, which can take place during the day or night, reviews the site to ensure compliance with current standards and regulations and meets the highest standard for site personnel and the travelling public.
All Audits are recorded and photographed on our Audit Form and emailed to you direct. Each Audit will highlight any issues and agreed solutions to rectify.
Traffic Management
Traffic management is a necessary service to ensure the safe passing of vehicles and pedestrians around a point of disruption.
To guarantee effective traffic control and smooth traffic flow, it's essential to formulate a robust traffic management design before the work gets underway. With over ten years of experience in the traffic management industry, Keep Right can provide temporary traffic management plans in full-colour hard copies on A4 through to A0 paper size. Electronic and PDF formats are also available.
Our traffic management designs are highly detailed and easy to implement by utilising the latest Cone Design Software. Keep Right can offer traffic management designs for any size of contract within the UK, so whether you are looking for traffic management solutions on busy motorways or quiet country roads, Keep Right is here to help.
What is Traffic Management?
Often referred to as road traffic control, traffic management is a traffic operation that is set up to safely direct pedestrians and manage traffic around an area of disruption. This disruption can come in many forms, including:
- A traffic accident
- Road works
- Lane closures
- Local events
- Construction work
- Traffic congestion
By implementing a safe traffic management process, the risk of accidents occurring is reduced dramatically. Traffic management also allows the work or event to carry on undisturbed, making it a key operation for businesses, local authorities and the general public.
Why is Traffic Management important?
Without a properly planned traffic management system, there is a significant risk to public safety. On busy roads such as highways and motorways, crashes and accidents can easily happen if the point of disruption is not correctly signed, controlled and managed.
Poor traffic management solutions can cause congestion for local communities, impact road users and cyclists, and negatively disrupt people's daily lives. An effective traffic management plan will ensure a smooth traffic flow with minimum disruption to the general public. The best traffic management plans will also give thought to the surrounding environment of the site.
