Traffic control can be frustrating when it means closed lanes or congested traffic – especially when you’re in a hurry. And yet, safe traffic management is an essential service – without it, our road networks simply couldn’t function.
It involves organising, arranging and guiding stationary and moving traffic – this includes cars, trucks, buses, bicycles and pedestrians. The signs themselves ensure that construction workers are able to get to the site safely, or that emergency services are able to access the site of an accident quicker, while road users continue to pass by safely.
A well-designed traffic management plan gives motorists plenty of notice that there are changes to the normal road conditions up ahead, so that they have ample time to slow down and be on alert.
Why is traffic control important?
Whether there’s been an incident onsite or there’s a public event on nearby which is impacting the traffic, motorists can’t be expected to adapt to new traffic conditions in real-time without help.
This help comes in the form of qualified traffic control experts, and highly visible equipment like Bollards, Cones , Barrier boards and other traffic control equipment. By guiding traffic past obstructions on the side of the road, or through intersections that have been compromised in some way, we can avoid more accidents from occurring.
Traffic control is important for:
Maintaining a safe flow of traffic
Preventing accidents and minimising road hazards as much as possible
Allowing road construction projects to be carried out safely and efficiently
