Traffic Management
Event Support Team delivers full event-day traffic management to keep spectators safe and traffic flowing. We can create your traffic plan or implement an existing one—covering vehicle and pedestrian flow, parking, public transport, and any road closures or diversions. Working with police, venue stakeholders, and councils, we minimise congestion and community impact for a smooth, well-organised event.
Traffic Management Services Provided
Road Signage
We can provide you with advance warning signs and all traffic management signs for your event
Road signage is vital for event traffic management: it guides drivers to the site, keeps flows smooth, and reduces congestion; steers pedestrians to safe crossings and routes; manages vehicle movements with parking directions and closure notices; and preserves clear access for emergency services. Event Support Team relies on signage to keep people informed and the event moving safely and efficiently.
Temporary Drop off areas for Park & Ride and Taxi's
We provide professionally managed temporary drop-off areas for Park & Ride and taxis. Done well, they cut congestion, improve safety, and tighten site operations for a faster, smoother arrival.
Our team handles:
Site layout that separates vehicles, queues, and pedestrians
Clear signage/wayfinding and stewarding at peak times
Lanes, barriers, and short dwell times to keep traffic moving
Accessible bays, safe lit routes, and live monitoring with rapid tweaks
Without proper controls, drop-offs can shift congestion or create conflict points; we prevent this with contingency routes, no-stopping enforcement, and coordinated stakeholder comms.
Chapter 8 Compliant Traffic Management
Chapter 8 compliant traffic management including lane closures, road closures and diversion routes
Chapter 8–compliant traffic management means following government guidelines to keep all road users safe and minimise accidents. These standards apply to contractors, local authorities, and event organisers. Compliance reduces disruption, keeps traffic flowing smoothly, and protects stewards, security, and other on-road personnel.
Traffic Lights and Management of Traffic Lights
Smart signal management during events boosts safety, cuts congestion, and improves access. By optimising timings, we reduce conflicts for drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists; keep traffic moving; and prioritise emergency services and public transport. Done well, it shortens waits and improves overall network efficiency. Poorly set timings can shift congestion or lengthen queues—Event Support Team can consult to ensure signals are planned and managed effectively.
LANTRA Qualified Staff
We have LANTRA-qualified, bringing proven competence in safe, compliant traffic management.
We supply purpose-built vehicles and well-maintained equipment—VMS boards, barriers, cones, signage, radios, and lighting—to match your site plan.
From setup to de-rig, we deliver Chapter 8–compliant operations with trained supervisors on hand to keep your event moving safely and smoothly.
Traffic Management and The Community
When roads must be closed for events, keeping residents informed is essential to minimise disruption and maintain good community relations.
Best practices include:
- Advance notice: Share closure dates, times, and affected areas early so residents can plan ahead.
- Clear communication: Use simple, accessible language across all updates.
- Multiple channels: Reach residents through signs, flyers, social media, local press, and radio.
- Detailed information: Provide detours, alternative routes, and practical details.
- On-site updates: Share information at community hubs such as libraries or shops.
- Regular updates: Keep residents informed of changes throughout the closure.
Event Support Team develops tailored communication plans to keep residents and businesses fully informed, reducing the impact of road closures and supporting smooth event delivery.
