EST sets the standard for Chapter 8 traffic management

Event Support Team (EST) is positioning itself as a go-to provider for Chapter 8–compliant traffic management across public roadworks and live events, offering turnkey planning, deployment, and oversight to keep people and projects moving safely.

What Chapter 8 means. Chapter 8 of the DfT Traffic Signs Manual sets out how traffic should be managed around works and events on or near the highway—protecting road users, pedestrians, and onsite teams. EST translates those guidelines into practical, site-ready plans.

From plan to cones-on-the-road. EST delivers end-to-end support: site surveys, risk assessments, method statements, TTRO applications, road closures, diversions, and live-phase supervision. On the ground, teams deploy high-quality signage, barriers, VMS, and cones, with stewards and supervisors maintaining radio comms and incident logs.

Built around your brief. Whether a small community event or a major closure, EST creates bespoke traffic management plans tailored to location, timings, audience, and stakeholder needs—coordinating with local authorities and blue-light services to minimise disruption.

Service you can reach. Clients get a single point of contact, rapid responses to operational queries, and proactive adjustments on the day to keep schemes safe, compliant, and efficient.
