Event traffic management services we provide
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 Taxis
We provide professionally managed temporary drop-off areas for Park & Ride and taxis. When managed effectively, these measures cut congestion, improve safety, and streamline arrivals.
Our team handles:
- Site layout that separates vehicles, queues, and pedestrians
- Clear signage/wayfinding and stewarding at peak times
- Implementing lanes, barriers, and enforcing short dwell times to keep traffic moving
- Accessible bays, safe lit routes, and live monitoring with rapid tweaks
We prevent this by implementing contingency routes, enforcing no- stopping zones, and coordinating stakeholder communications.
Adhering to Chapter 8 Road Safety Regulations
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 staff, 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.
We recognise that road closures affect local communities, so we follow best practices in communication:
- 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.
