A little clarity.
Before you start.

Traffic management is the planning and control of how vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians move around works. It can include signs, cones, barriers, temporary traffic lights, lane closures, diversions and protected pedestrian routes.

Works can change how a road or footway is used. A suitable traffic management arrangement helps separate people from the work area, maintain access and guide road users through or around the site.

Start by identifying the highway authority and sharing the location, scope and proposed dates. Depending on the works, you may need permits, notices, licences or a temporary traffic regulation order, with supporting plans. Vanguard can help coordinate the applications; the relevant authority decides whether approval is granted.

As early as possible. Lead times depend on the authority, road restrictions and type of works. Road closures and more complex schemes can need considerably more notice. Send us your proposed dates so we can establish the requirements.

Please send the site address or location plan, a description of the works, proposed dates and hours, likely duration, and any access or vehicle requirements. Existing drawings and authority correspondence are also useful.
