If you require traffic management you may well be considering whether to hire a company externally or take care of it yourself.

What could be simpler than purchasing some additional equipment and installing it yourself?
Still considering completing your own traffic management?
Let’s take a look at the implications.
For starters, what traffic management is required e.g. a road closure, diversion or temporary traffic light system – and for how long? Have you put together a traffic management plan detailing exactly what equipment is needed and where it will be situated?
Aside from the outlay of purchasing the equipment itself, you will have to set aside time to shop around to find the most suitable products. Once the right equipment has been found, how often will it be reused or will it hold its value if resold? Then there is storage and transportation to consider – do you have enough space to store it securely or the right vehicles to move it safely to and from site?
The next step is manpower. All traffic management must be administered by staff with LANTRA approved qualifications. Will you have staff available to cover the job or will you have to hire additional manpower? Are your staff trained? If not, how long will training take? Even once these question have been answered, there are still other factors to consider i.e. liaising with local authorities to sanction the works and organise the relevant licence and permits. These applications can be very time consuming, causing your project to be delayed or even postponed.
Even if you are attempting to cover traffic management yourself, you may still find yourself seeking professional traffic management-related advice.
