Why Event Traffic Management is Essential
Effective traffic management is crucial for any event to ensure a seamless experience for both attendees and surrounding communities. Without a well-coordinated plan, events can cause significant traffic disruption, confusion, and even safety risks. Our traffic management solutions help to:
Minimise traffic congestion before, during, and after the event.
Ensure pedestrian safety by safely managing the flow of people crossing roads, accessing parking areas, or moving between event spaces.
Protect local residents and businesses from unnecessary traffic disruptions.
Streamline vehicle access for event staff, VIPs, and emergency services.
Event Traffic Management Services
Pre-Event Planning and Design
The success of any traffic management plan depends on thorough planning, and our team takes a bespoke approach to each event. We work with event organisers, local authorities, and emergency services to ensure a seamless and compliant traffic flow for the duration of your event.
Site Assessments: We conduct detailed surveys of the event location, surrounding roads, and parking areas. This helps us identify potential traffic challenges and design an efficient traffic management plan.
Traffic Management Plan: Our team creates a comprehensive traffic management plan, including vehicle routes, parking zones, pedestrian crossings, signage, and diversion routes. This plan is tailored to the size, type, and location of the event.
Stakeholder Liaison: We work closely with local authorities, emergency services, and law enforcement to ensure all aspects of the traffic management plan comply with legal requirements and safety regulations.
Parking Solutions: Proper parking management is key to keeping traffic flowing smoothly. We design parking layouts and manage both on-site and overflow parking to accommodate large numbers of vehicles safely and efficiently.
Event Day Installation and Traffic Control
On the day of the event, our trained traffic management professionals are responsible for setting up and monitoring all necessary traffic control measures. We ensure that traffic moves smoothly while prioritising safety for pedestrians and vehicles alike.
Signage and Road Closures: We provide and install clear, compliant signage to guide vehicles and pedestrians. This includes advance warning signs, road closures, and directional signs to parking areas.
Temporary Traffic Lights and Stop & Go Systems: For large events with high traffic volumes, we install temporary traffic light systems or use manual Stop & Go controls to regulate vehicle movement and prevent congestion.
Barriers and Cones: We set up barriers, cones, and delineators to create safe walking paths, manage queues, and separate vehicles from pedestrians.
Pedestrian Crossings: To ensure the safety of attendees crossing busy roads, we install temporary pedestrian crossings where necessary, manned by trained staff to manage high foot traffic.
Live Monitoring and Real-Time Adjustments
Traffic conditions around an event can change rapidly, so our team remains on-site to monitor the flow of vehicles and pedestrians throughout the event. We provide real-time adjustments to ensure everything runs smoothly.
Traffic Marshals: Our professional traffic marshals direct vehicles and control access points, ensuring only authorised vehicles enter restricted areas and that traffic flows efficiently.
Live Traffic Monitoring: We continuously monitor traffic conditions and make adjustments to signage, barriers, or traffic control measures as needed. If congestion or hazards arise, our team acts swiftly to resolve the situation.
Emergency Access: We maintain clear routes for emergency vehicles and ensure that they can access all parts of the event site without delay.
Post-Event Traffic Management and Site Clearance
Once the event concludes, managing the safe and efficient exit of attendees is just as critical as managing their arrival. Our team remains in place to oversee this process, ensuring that traffic moves smoothly and safely away from the event area.
Exit Flow Management: We manage the phased departure of vehicles to prevent congestion and ensure that pedestrians and vehicles leave the site safely.
Clear Signage and Barriers: Signage and barriers guide drivers through designated exit routes, while marshals direct vehicles and pedestrians to maintain safe flow.
Site Clean-Up: After the event, we promptly remove all traffic management installations, such as signs, cones, and barriers, and restore the area to its original state with minimal disruption to local traffic.
Special Considerations for Large Events
For larger events, such as festivals or sports matches, additional traffic management measures may be required, including:
Park-and-Ride Schemes: For events with limited on-site parking, we can organise and manage park-and-ride facilities to reduce traffic congestion in and around the event area.
VIP and Accessible Parking: We create special parking zones for VIPs, event staff, and accessible parking for attendees with disabilities, ensuring easy access and reducing the risk of congestion.
Traffic Diversion Routes: Where necessary, we plan and implement traffic diversion routes around the event area to reduce the impact on local traffic.
