Controlling traffic at the worksite is one of the primary concerns for traffic control services. To keep the work zones safe for road users as well as utility workers, one needs to have the highest levels of safety standards maintained there. Hence, only the latest resources are used, and a full array of traffic safety solutions are devised in order to meet all the controlling and management needs. 

When the worksite needs to be kept safe and sound, the management needs to plan everything efficiently, keep a check on it, and manage the traffic interactions effectively. The impacts will be reduced if public movement, traffic flow, and worksite activities can be demarcated. Keeping this in mind, here is the checklist that is important for the worksites.

Planning

The below-listed questions will help you plan for the long-term or the temporary traffic control at the construction site.

• What does the traffic flow look like in the area?
• Has any traffic management plan been made?
• Has the plan been evaluated?
• Are any provisions made for public transportation?

Warning signage

This is critical in ensuring that everybody passing by the work site is provided with a guidance to adjust their routes and speeds.

• Is there an appropriate distance for the signage?
• Are the signs and devices installed as per the traffic management plan?
• Where should the warning signage be placed at?
• Are there any contradictory signs placed?
• Are all the necessary signages been taken into consideration?

Worksite separation

Are enough precautions put on the work site to keep the people working there safe? 

• Has high-visibility clothing been provided to every worker at the site? Are they wearing and using it the right way?
• Can trucks or excavators pass in and out of the site safely without any notable obstruction?
• Has the necessary onsite security and onsite personnel been deployed?
• Are the safety banners installed on the site?

Other road users

Worksites can be an unexpected confusion for cyclists, road users, or other pedestrians. They need to be informed about road closures or any sudden road blockages, or any speed limit adjustments beforehand.

• Has the traffic congestion been attended to and are the necessary actions taken to clear it?
• How is the construction work affecting public transportation?
• Has any alternate pathway been created for pedestrians?
