Traffic Management in Oxfordshireand across the UK,run by one accountable team.

Static schemes cover fixed working areas: footway and lane closures, full road closures with signed diversions, contraflows and priority working with give-and-take signs. Mobile and short-duration arrangements cover works that move along a road, such as inspections, gully cleansing, lining, surveys and cable pulling.

Control methods range from priority signs on lightly trafficked roads through portable traffic signals, manual stop-go boards and convoy working on longer single-lane sections. Choice depends on visibility, the length of the single-lane section, traffic flow, gradient and the presence of side roads or accesses.

Typical schemes use Chapter 8 compliant signs on frames or posts, cones and cylinders, lamps, road plates, pedestrian barriers and separators, ground protection, and portable or temporary traffic signals with vehicle detection where required.

For higher-risk or longer-duration works we can add incursion prevention and warning systems, dynamic speed signage to moderate approach speeds, and vehicle-mounted signage. Everything is supplied, installed and maintained by us for the full duration rather than dropped off for you to manage.

On high-speed roads such as dual carriageways, the safety zone, lead-in taper and sign spacing all grow, lane closures often need to be installed under rolling restrictions, and the crews must hold the relevant Sector Scheme 12D competencies. The margin for improvisation is effectively zero.

On low-speed urban and residential roads the technical distances shorten but the practical complexity rises: bus stops, loading bays, refuse collection, school routes, resident parking, shop deliveries and cycle lanes all have to be accommodated, and the consultation with the authority is usually more detailed than the drawing itself.

Closing a footway without providing an alternative is one of the fastest ways to generate complaints and an authority visit. Compliant schemes provide a signed, physically separated route of adequate width with ramps or crossing points where the route steps into the carriageway.

We design for wheelchair users, pushchairs and visually impaired pedestrians as standard, using barriers with tapping rails rather than open cones, and we keep the route continuous through each phase of the works rather than reinventing it every shift.

Construction and civils sites needing long-term access, utilities carrying out street works under NRSWA, local authorities resurfacing and patching, highways frameworks, rail possessions with road-side compounds, events requiring road space and marshalled crossings, and film and TV productions needing controlled holds.

We work direct for end clients and as a subcontractor to main and principal contractors, aligning with your existing site rules, RAMS process, permit-to-work system and reporting requirements rather than imposing our own.

Short-duration works are usually a single visit: install, work, remove. Multi-phase schemes need a phasing plan so each stage is a complete, compliant arrangement in its own right, with defined transitions between phases and a maintained pedestrian route throughout.

For long-term site access we also plan for the boring but expensive details: sign cleaning and resetting, seasonal changes in daylight, festive embargoes on some authority networks, and the inspection frequency the authority expects to see recorded.
