SINGLE VEHICLE WORKS AND INSPECTION STOPS
SINGLE VEHICLE WORKS ON SINGLE CARRIAGEWAY ROADS - "STOP/GO"
O8.1.21 The principles are illustrated in Plan SVW2.
Four advance signs are required:
- a "road works" sign (7001) with supplementary plate "Mobile road works" (7001.1) on the near side only in both directions;
- a "TRAFFIC CONTROL AHEAD" sign (7010.1) on near side only in both directions;
- a "road narrows" sign (517) with supplementary plate “Single file traffic" (518) on near side only in both directions; and
- a "STOP/GO" board (7023 7024) nominally 20 m in advance of the working vehicle.
The "road works" sign (7001) with supplementary plate “Mobile road works” (7001.1) should be repeated at approximately 400 m intervals. Additional signs may be required to suit the carriageway alignment and at junctions. The supplementary plate (diagram 7001.1) may also show a distance.
Working vehicle signing:
- a "keep right" sign (610) to the rear of the working vehicle attached in accordance with regulation 14(1) or a sign to diagram 7403 (see paragraph 8.1.6). An authorised vehicle mounted small light arrow sign may be used in place of signs to diagram 610 and 7403 (see paragraph O8.1.8);
and
- optionally, a "keep left" sign (610) to the front of the working vehicle attached in accordance with regulation 14(1).
