in the UK have prepared an excellent guide to traffic
management when holding an event and this is a valuable guide for all event
organizers.
Traffic management for large events
Event organizers will need to draw up a traffic plan, a failure to do so means
that an event may be cancelled.
7
When an event takes place near the highway
it is normally the responsibility of the event organizer for public safety.
A traffic management plan will need to consider the issues below.
Location
•
How will visitors get to the event, e.g. bus, coach, train, walk, cycle, car?
•
How will you organize traffic control on the roads to the site and on the site
itself?
Roads, public rights of way
•
Which roads and paths may be affected by the event traffic?
•
Will they be able to accommodate the extra traffic from the event without
causing delays?
•
How will the organizer deal with breakdowns or collisions on the roads
leading to the event site?
•
Will there be a need to apply for any road closures?
Road closures
It is normal if road closure for the event is required to allow at least 3 months
for an application to be processed.
•
Identify which roads or sections of the road will need to be closed;
•
Where will traffic be diverted?
•
Are temporary traffic lights required?
•
Will the closure clash with any road works or other activity on the roads
near the event?
Directional signage
Directional signs will be required on the highway if there will be a large
number of drivers visiting the event who are unfamiliar with the area or if
specific routing is needed.
