Did you know that Chapter 8 is not the name of the barriers. Chapter 8 is the name of the guidelines that should be followed when completing temporary road works.
The DfT (Department for Transport) has released a comprehensive guide known as the Traffic Signs Manual, in which Chapter 8 is split into two parts:
- Part 1: Road Works and Temporary Situations – Design:
- Guidance for the design of temporary traffic management arrangements which should be implemented to facilitate maintenance activities or in response to temporary situations.
Part 1 can be read here.
- Part 2: Road Works and Temporary Situations – Operations:
- Guidance for planning, managing, and participating in operations to implement, maintain and remove temporary traffic management arrangements.
Part 2 can be read here.
Chapter 8 not only incorporates barriers, but also includes signage, temporary traffic lights, and traffic cones. All these products can be hired via PAL Hire, alongside a range of other equipment to help you complete your road works. Read the full article here.
