CONVOY WORKING
NOTES:
- For one-way working, signs should be provided only for traffic in the relevant direction.
- For two-way working the same signing is used on the primary and secondary approaches to the works. When "STOP/GO" boards are used, the legend on diagram 7027 shall be changed by substituting "STOP SIGN" for "RED LIGHT". The position of the sign in relation to the signals or "STOP/GO" boards shall be the same as the sign to diagram 7011 shown in Plan SC7.
- A pair of speed limit signs must be placed at the point where the temporary limit begins, and repeater signs should be placed throughout the works site at 200 m intervals on alternate sides of the road.
- Position each sign so that it does not obscure any other sign and is not obscured itself.
- The end of the restrictions may be indicated by a sign to diagram 7001 with an "End" plate to diagram 645. If the temporary speed limit masks a change in the permanent speed limit at some point within the works, a sign showing the new limit must be erected on each side of the carriageway at the end of the works.
- The sign to diagram 7026 should be repeated at 200m intervals through the site.
- When "STOP/GO” boards are used, the legend on diagram 7028 shall be changed by substituting "AT TRAFFIC CONTROL" for "WHEN GREEN LIGHT SHOWS".
- The extent of the area provided for convoy vehicles to turn should be assessed to ensure adequate clearances.
