We provide a Traffic Management Plan to suit virtually any Bayswater traffic management requirement, whether it be a simple lane closure, a three-way traffic layout or a fully comprehensive traffic diversion operation. Our aim is to provide a solution that minimises disruption as far as possible for road users whilst considering the safety of pedestrians and site staff. By liaising with the relevant authorities, utility companies, and contractors, we can prepare Traffic Management Plans well in advance of any proposed projects, reducing the need for lengthy site meetings.
Traffic Management Plans Bayswater / TM Drawings – to the highest standards
Our Bayswater Traffic Management Plans / TM Drawings are of the highest standards and contain details over and above the minimum requirement.
This means our drawings are accepted 98% of the time without the need for amendments. This saves time and money and helps the implementation of the TM with a clear and easy to read plan.
According to UK law, a construction site must be set up to allow for the safe movement of both vehicles and people via site pathways.
The routes must be adequate in number and size, in appropriate locations and appropriate for the people or cars use them. Vehicles include cars, vans, trucks, low-loaders, and mobile equipment such site dumpers, excavators, and lift trucks, among others.
The main takeaway is that prudent management of transportation operations during the building process can and should prevent mishaps involving vehicles on construction sites.
- Keeping pedestrians and vehicles apart
- Minimising vehicle movements
- People on site
- Turning vehicles
- Visibility
- Signs and instructions
Around 10 construction workers lose their lives each year as a result of being hit by cars on the job site. There are also hundreds more injuries and accidents that may have been avoided.
From foundation work until completion, accidents can happen, putting management, employees, site visitors, and the general public at risk. Many accidents involving construction vehicles are caused by inadequate planning and control.
Inadequate pedestrian and vehicle separation is the primary cause of most construction transport accidents.
Most of the time, this can be prevented with good planning, especially during the design phase and by managing vehicle activities while building is underway.
Entry and exit points: designate distinct entry and exit points for automobiles and people;
Walkways: provide stable, level, well-drained paths for pedestrians that, whenever feasible, follow direct routes;
Crossings: places where sidewalks intersect with roads should have a marked crossing point with adequate lighting so that both cars and pedestrians can see each other easily;
Visibility: before using a footpath, make sure that vehicles heading onto public roads can see both ways along it;
Obstacles: avoid obstructing pathways to force pedestrians to cross the path of moving vehicles; additionally, consider erecting a barrier between the walkway and the road.
The amount of vehicle mobility at a location can be reduced with careful planning. For instance, landscaping to lessen the amount of spoil or fill movement.
To restrict the quantity of vehicles present:
- Plan storage rooms so that delivery vehicles do not have to cross the site
- Regulate admission to the work area
- Offer car and van parking for employees and guests away from the work area
Employers should take the following actions to ensure that all employees are competent and fit to operate the vehicles, equipment, and accessories they utilise on the job site:
- Continuous checks during the hiring of contractors
- The recruitment of drivers and operators
- The training of drivers and operators
- The supervision of visiting drivers’ actions
Vehicle movement coordinators, or signallers, need to be qualified and licensed to conduct their jobs.
Untrained or inexperienced workers driving construction vehicles without authority can also result in accidents. People should be made aware of the danger and vehicle access should be controlled.
The need for vehicles to reverse should be avoided where feasible as reversing is a major source of deadly accidents. One-way systems, particularly in the area where there is pedestrian traffic, can lower the risk. It is possible to install a turning circle so that cars may turn without having to reverse.
When cars reverse in places where it is impossible to completely exclude people, there is an increased risk, and visibility becomes crucial.
You should consider:
Driving aids: such as reversing alarms, CCTV cameras, and mirrors that let drivers view what’s going on around the car
Plant and vehicle marshallers: professionals with the necessary training who can be assigned to oversee manoeuvres
Lighting: to enable easy visibility between vehicles and pedestrians on shared pathways. In inclement weather or after sunset, lighting may be required
Clothes: People walking about the area should dress in highly visible apparel
Ensure that everyone, including pedestrians and drivers, is aware of the available routes and traffic laws. When applicable, use normal road signs.
Give drivers, employees, and guests orientation training, and give visitors guidelines prior to their stay.

We can normally complete TMP’s within 2 working days.
We have standard rates for producing a Traffic Management Plan, but depending on the quantity can offer different rates. With CTMP’s, CLP’s and CMP’s the cost will be dependent on the size of the project and any on-site meetings that might be required. Please call us to discuss your requirements and to get the most competitive quote.
This can depend on a number of factors. Location, size of set-up and if there are any diversions. However, if all the licenses have been granted and supported by an approved TMP we can normally service most set ups with a day or two notice. We do recommend giving as much notice as possible to ensure your job is not delayed.
We would supply personnel to set up, maintain and take down any set ups. If you have personnel with the correct qualifications, there is no reason they cannot assist during any operation. This might be more prevalent on a longer project where the TMP is in place for a long duration.
