Stop and go boards

[Arb123]

Any one know if you can use them on a B road ? Or do I need to notifie the highways? Cheers

[urbandekay]

My understanding is that you must inform the highways authority and obtain consent and though I am out of date I doubt if things get easier

[CJM]

Yes you need to notify the council, basically so they can inform the emergency services

No need to inform them just make sure the person that sets out the site has 12d

Thought that stop go had speed restrictions on them now or that might just be a local thing?

You should inform both NRSWA and the TMA section of the council highways dept. They may well guide you as to a preferred method of active traffic management. Lights are often safer for static works as people are conditioned to stop a red lights, mostly. Stop goes are sometimes recommended for traffic sensitive areas as they can control traffic much more efficiently. They're ok for slow or fast roads. Usually used on mobile works.

Just as an aside if i may,one of my young fellows stopped a police traffic car in its tracks for half a minute with a stop go board the other day.

The signs weren't being used at that minute with traffic flowing freely,when i asked him what he thought he was doing, he simply said "they've stopped me enough times so i thought ide stop him."

Youngsters nowadays,i dont know.
