by Jonathan McDonagh, from the Community

10+

Use this traffic management checklist to plan and review full or partial road closures around worksites. Confirm the traffic management plan is implemented, signage is correct size and placed at prescribed distances, and any redundant signs are covered or removed. Check temporary road conditions, delineation and line marking, minimum road widths, and plant–pedestrian separation controls. Verify pedestrian crossings, night-work lighting and reflectivity, temporary speed limits, electronic signals, channel call-up signage, and operator competence.

Traffic Management and Road Works Checklist
This traffic management and road works inspection checklist helps crews plan and verify safe work zones on public roads. Confirm SWMS completion, adequate segregation of plant, vehicles, and pedestrians, and correctly designed park-up areas. Check exclusion zones, barricades, signage, delineation, and posted speed limits. Ensure current traffic management/control plans are available and followed, road-user visibility is clear, and employees are trained in traffic control.

Street and Road Works Signing, Lighting and Guarding
This street and road works audit checklist supports safe temporary traffic management at worksites. It covers staff and vehicle readiness including PPE, IDs, code of practice, vehicle condition, and information boards. The signing, lighting and guarding section checks approach and site signage, sandbag weighting, minimum carriageway and pedestrian widths, safety zone setup, cone size and spacing, lead in and exit tapers, reflectivity, and correct pedestrian barriers. Traffic signal controls are verified for correct system, timing, placement, detection, and battery charge. Documentation requirements include risk assessment, method statement, traffic management drawings, and supervisor sign off. Findings are logged for prompt action, with photo evidence and a sign off section for accountability.
