Traffic management drawings and access strategies to support the safe interface between construction works and the public highway.

Construct Logistics Consultancy prepares construction traffic management plans for projects where site operations interface with roads, footways, cycle routes, loading areas and the surrounding public realm.

The plans are developed to help project teams understand how construction access, vehicle movements, pedestrian routes and temporary highway arrangements can be managed safely and practically.

Traffic management planning is particularly important on constrained urban sites where construction activity may affect live traffic, pedestrians, cyclists, parking, bus stops, loading bays or footways.

Scope Includes

  • Construction vehicle access and egress strategy

  • Temporary traffic management layouts

  • Vehicle routing and approach arrangements

  • Lane occupation, loading area and works access arrangements

  • Pedestrian management and segregation routes

  • Footway interface and temporary pedestrian routes

  • Cyclist interface considerations

  • Traffic marshal / banksman positioning where required

  • Temporary signage, guarding and barrier arrangements

  • Consideration of visibility, road width, junctions and local constraints

  • Coordination with site logistics, swept path analysis and phasing plans

  • Layouts developed with reference to Chapter 8 principles and local authority requirements

Deliverables

  • Traffic Management Plan drawings issued in PDF format

  • Clear annotated layouts showing proposed traffic management arrangements

  • Vehicle access, egress and routing strategy where required

  • Pedestrian and cyclist interface arrangements

  • Temporary signage, barriers and marshal positions shown where applicable

  • Drawings suitable for planning, licensing, coordination and client review

Suitable For

  • Works affecting the public highway or footway

  • Temporary lane occupations or road space requirements

  • Construction access and delivery arrangements

  • Scaffold, hoarding, gantry and loading bay interfaces

  • Planning applications and condition discharge

  • Local authority / highway authority review

  • Constrained urban site interfaces

Outcome and Value

A well-prepared Traffic Management Plan helps demonstrate how construction activity will be managed safely at the highway interface.

The aim is to help:

  • Maintain safe movement of pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles

  • Support controlled construction access and egress

  • Reduce conflict between site operations and public highway users

  • Identify traffic management constraints early

  • Support discussions with clients, contractors and local authorities

  • Coordinate traffic management with logistics drawings and swept path analysis

Important Note

Traffic Management Plans are prepared for planning, coordination and review purposes. Final implementation, statutory approvals, temporary traffic orders, traffic signal design and installation of traffic management on the highway may require input from the relevant highway authority and/or a competent traffic management contractor.

Fees

Fees start from £650, depending on the extent of works, drawing quality, road layout, number of arrangements required, level of detail and authority interface.

A fixed fee will be provided once the project information, drawings, scope and required deliverables have been reviewed.
