Traffic management

[Spruce Pirate]

Always got a TM co in but have had to do the permit application myself, 3 different councils + Transerv (Trunk Rds). Normally have to do a Road Occupation Permit and a Traffic Light Permit, both easy to do, a bit of duplication and need a total of up to 4 separate maps. Design of signals never been needed for me as it's always been simple stuff, but TM co should be able to provided this if needs be.

 

Consent/Permits can take as little as a couple of days if not traffic sensitive, up to 30 days if it is traffic sensitive. Keep the permit in the site pack as you need to be able to show it to police, council officials, etc if required.

 

Should say, this is Scotland - as usual, things may be different in England!

You will always require a permit from the council. As said before they will require site plans, the works being carried out and the expected times of which the TM will remain in place. You will also find with some councils that because of the nature of the work they will require a detailed risk assessment.

 

As spruce pirate says the permits could take up to 30 days to go through
