Relevant Authority and Installation Requirements
Temporary Barriers, will they be selected, installed in accordance with the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) Part 3: Traffic control for works on roads November 2019 and Supplement:
Where the PTSS consists of one HRC paired with two PTSUs:
- Visibility to the PTSUs and approaching traffic shall be assessed before confirming the number of controllers required, noting that visibility can vary with weather condition, day light, local lighting, road geometry and the presence of roadside objects. Where visibility to both PTSUs and approaching traffic from both directions is available, traffic may be controlled using a single Traffic Controller.
- Visibility to both PTSUs and approaching traffic from both directions by one Traffic Controller is restricted: − two Traffic Controllers (one per PTSU) are required
- the operating procedure is as per standard stop / slow arrangements
- only one of the two Traffic Controllers will operate the PTSS with a fully functional HRC: the other Traffic Controller monitors the other PTSU and associated traffic and provides information to the operator
- each Traffic Controller shall be equipped with radio communication.
A PTSS consisting of two or more PTSUs (not paired) with each PTU being controlled by a single HRC may be used under the following conditions:
- Where visibility to both PTSUs and approaching traffic from both directions by one traffic controller is restricted
- Where a single HRC cannot communicate effectively with both PTSUs
- Where traffic control is required at intersections or for plant crossing
In any of these cases the following will apply:
- traffic controllers (one per PTSU) are required
- each traffic controller has an HRC controlling a single PTSU
- the operating procedure is as per standard stop / slow arrangements.
- each traffic controller shall be equipped with radio communication.
