🚦 Traffic Management and Contraflow Procedures
This paragraph outlines the critical steps for implementing traffic management and contraflow systems to ensure the safety of workers and the public. It details the process of converting two-way traffic into alternating one-way traffic by closing lanes, setting up speed reduction signs, and using traffic controllers to manage the flow. The steps include setting up signs, stopping incoming traffic, implementing lane closures with traffic cones, and managing shuttle flow. The paragraph also explains the contraflow method, which allows for two-way traffic operations with temporary lane diversions or closures, and multi-lane contraflow principles. Aftercare procedures post-roadworks are also described, emphasizing speed reduction and the use of specific signage. The importance of escape routes that can change regularly is highlighted throughout the process.
👷♂️ Traffic Controller Safety and Communication Protocols
The second paragraph focuses on the safety protocols and communication guidelines for traffic controllers during shuttle flow treatment. It emphasizes the initial directive for traffic controllers to manage the flow of traffic in a specific direction and the importance of clear and concise radio communication. In case of emergencies, a specific call sign is used to halt all traffic. The paragraph stresses the importance of safety, including never turning one's back to traffic, using a stop slow bat for traffic control, and ensuring a clear road before releasing traffic. It also covers the correct use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and the necessity of having an escape path. The three C's of radio communication—clear, concise, and calm—are highlighted to ensure effective and safe traffic management.

traffic management at the southern
program alliance is important for the
safety of both our workers and the
public
so please pay close attention to the
following guides of the various traffic
controls shuttle flow turns two-way
traffic into alternating one-way traffic
by closing one or more lanes
to do this you need to take the
following steps
step one set up the release speed on the
sign and cover the speed reduction on
the back of the sign
step 2
place the signage on the road in the
order shown
[Music]
step 3
implement the speed reduction displayed
on the signage
step 4 traffic controller number 1 stops
incoming traffic of the lane to be
closed
step 5
traffic controller number 2 implements
the lane closure by laying out traffic
cones in the delineated work area
step 6
traffic controller number two stops
traffic and begins shuttle flow
treatment
don't forget your escape route and that
it can change regularly
a contraflow allows for two-way traffic
operations in which one or more lanes
are temporarily diverted or closed

delineates the lane adjacent to the work
area in this case it's the northbound
lane step seven
traffic controller number two positions
themselves and slows down traffic
don't forget your escape route and that
it can change regularly
multi-lane contra flow applies the
principle to two or more lanes of
traffic heading in each direction
step one set up the release speed on the
sign and cover the speed reduction on
the back of the sign

the lateral shift and continues the lane
closure past the work area and positions
a vehicle prior to the work area as a
safety buffer
step seven
once complete traffic controllers one
and two slow both north and southbound
traffic
don't forget your escape route and that
it can change regularly
aftercare is the reduction of speed
following roadworks to ensure new roads
settle and extends the life of the new
surface
aftercare is to show there are roadworks
ahead workers are not present but there
may be changes to the traffic conditions
step 1 change out the existing setup
coreflute signage to that of the
aftercare signage
step 2 traffic controller implements the
lane closure or delineated work area by
laying out traffic cones
[Music]
traffic controller rail ppe requirements
include

if deemed necessary or in case radio
communication has static reply please
confirm if a problem occurs place all
traffic on stop until it is deemed safe
to continue the flow
minimal words make clearer instructions
and ensure there is no confusion
in an emergency use the call sign
emergency emergency emergency
and put everything on stop
ensure you give police fire ambulance
and the ses right-of-way to all vehicles
preach the three c's for good radio
comms
clear concise and calm
safety is a priority for you and the
public
so remember the following
never turn your back to the traffic
never stop traffic using your hand you
must only ever use a stop slow bat
whilst holding out the stop slow bat
wait for two vehicles ensuring they're
stopping before stepping out onto the
road
always leave your bat on stop until you
have safely left the roadway then turn
your bat to slow to release traffic by
sweeping hand movements
never release traffic until you are
absolutely sure the road is clear of
oncoming traffic
maintain clear radio contact at all
times and never send traffic through if
you are unsure of radio communications
wear the correct personal protective
equipment at all times
and always make sure you have an escape
path
