[bloodmilksky]

Hi guys,

 

i am just stuck on this question and wondered if anyone could point me in the right direction. there is a acronym for traffic management called W.I.D.E Warn Indicate Direct End I was just wondering if anyone has heard of this or knows anything about the laws and regulations on setting up signs on the road for temporary work?

 

many thanks

I know it as:

“warn” - put your initial signage out (according to the type, max speed limit, carriageway type & sight lines of the road.)

“inform” - place prewarning signs of what is about to be encountered.


“direct” place directional instruction signs around the temporary obstacle.

“end” - close off the preceding temporary redirection and allow drivers to abide by standard road signage.

Not entirely sure I understand what it is you’re asking, any chance of clarifying the exam question?

The question asks "describe how to effectively lay out an area" What I was trying to do was to ensure that I had covered everything including signage for areas that are near highways or areas with High Public access. Sorry for being so vague very new to posting on forums.
