CONVOY WORKING

NOTES:

  1. 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.
  2. Where the near side lane is closed, traffic should be directed into the off side lane immediately after passing the traffic signals.
  3. 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. For night-time works diagram 7002.1 should be placed between the 1 mile and 2 mile advance signs. This should be left in place during the day.
  4. When "STOP/GO" boards are used, the legend on diagram 7028 shall be changed by substituting "AT TRAFFIC CONTROL" for "WHEN GREEN LIGHT SHOWS".
  5. When "STOP/GO" boards are used, the sign and supplementary plate to diagrams 543 and 7030 shall be replaced with the diagram 7010.1 variant, "TRAFFIC CONTROL AHEAD".
  6. A "traffic queues likely" sign to diagram 584 must be placed in combination with the supplementary plate to diagram 584.1 "Queues likely".
  7. The sign to diagram 7026 should be repeated at 200m intervals through the site.
