Traffic Management Plan_IMS-04-05_D (001) FOR APPROVAL

                                                                               Traffic Management Plan


Temporary Safety Barriers (TSBs) may be used to contain and redirect wayward vehicles and prevent them
from entering the worksite in constrained situations. In such instances, installation of safety barriers will cater
for the dynamic deflection of the barrier type.

Types of Traffic Safety Barriers that may be used are:

▪      Rigid barriers (temporary concrete / TL2 barriers or temporary corrugated steel beam guardrail)

Where temporary barriers and delineation bollards are used for the separation of traffic from road works and
hazards, they will be installed to achieve compliance with DTMR specifications and manufacturers
specifications. The minimum distance from the face of the TSB to the lane edge will be as per clause 4.13.4 (c)
of the MUTCD Part 3.

As appropriate, the area immediately behind the temporary safety barrier will be kept clear of materials and
hazards. The workforce will be directed to keep clear of this area and a containment fence may be erected, if
required.

All barriers will be installed so that both the likelihood and extent of deflection of the barrier in the event of impact
are minimised.

These will be typically used between traffic and a severe hazard such as a deep excavation, bridge pier or a
hazardous stockpile and for the protection of workers and non-vehicular road users in vulnerable situations
where lateral clearance to moving traffic would otherwise be insufficient for safety.

1.14       Containment Fences other than Road Safety Barriers

Containment fences comprising tapes, plastic mesh fencing or longitudinal channelising devices may be used
to provide visible containment in situations where physical protection by use of a road safety barrier system is
not warranted.

In accordance with MRTS02 CL 5.4, where work activities are being undertaken within 3.5m of the lane edge,
and where such activities are likely to cause traffic delays, anti gawking screens are to be installed on barriers
within 100m of: any intersection, an entry; or an exit ramp.

All excavations shall be protected in accordance with Shadforth SWMS and the relevant codes of practise: use
of temporary fencing and shade cloth where conditions permit.

1.15       Temporary Lighting

Temporary lighting may also be required to supplement existing lighting where the path through the site could
be difficult to follow. Lighting from other sources, especially glare sources, should be considered. Lighting for
pedestrians shall be provided

1.16 Construction Access

Construction access will vary on throughout the project. Specific Vehicle Movement plans and TGS’ will be
issued prior to mobilising into an area.

1.17       Detours

Not applicable within this project Scope of Works.

1.18       Access Requirements

Whilst there are limited numbers of businesses or residential properties, which will require access through or
across the work site; any existing access to businesses and residential properties shall always be maintained
including out of hours operations. During the work shift, a designated spotter shall be present to direct and spot
any accessing vehicles through the work site. If access across worksite is required, suitable control methods
shall be employed through utilising spotters, backfilling trenches as works proceed, trenchless technology and
