What is it?
Traffic management encompasses the traffic planning and traffic control of all regulatory equipment and qualified personnel involved with the provision of a professional traffic management service, such as:
• Traffic management equipment hire
• Traffic management planning
• Traffic management traffic control and labour hire
• Traffic management risk assessment and consulting
Traffic management and traffic control is the safe movement of motorists and pedestrians around worksites using, temporary traffic signage, delineators, arrow boards and accredited traffic controllers.
Who needs it?
Traffic management, traffic planning and traffic control is required by any business planning to operate on or near roads or pedestrian access ways.
DS&R are specialist's in traffic management, traffic planning and traffic control to reduce risk to the public, our clients and other stakeholders. A responsible contractor will recognise the value of engaging the services of a company like DS&R to safely manage the risk.
Poor traffic management and traffic control can result in fatalities on site with recent judgments in the courts awarding hefty punitive damages for incorrect signage and control systems. This has come about by businesses not experienced in traffic management, traffic planning and traffic control failing to comply with the most basic of standards and codes. The more complex sites in high profile areas and on busy arterial roads need even greater attention to detail to reduce the risk to your business.
