Stop & Go Traffic Management - Professional Services for Safe Traffic Control
At Redcone Recruitment, we offer reliable and efficient Stop & Go traffic management services, ideal for controlling the flow of traffic on sites where temporary, short-duration traffic control is needed. This service is commonly used for roadworks, utility repairs, and events, where maintaining a safe and controlled traffic flow is crucial. Our team of experienced traffic management professionals ensures that all Stop & Go operations are carried out smoothly, minimising disruption and prioritising the safety of both road users and workers.
What is Stop & Go Traffic Management?
Stop & Go traffic management involves the manual control of traffic flow using handheld signs that alternate between “Stop” and “Go” instructions. It is typically used for short-term, temporary situations, such as lane closures, road repairs, or when traffic needs to alternate through a single lane. This method allows for quick and flexible responses to changing traffic conditions and is particularly effective in managing low to medium traffic volumes in narrow or restricted areas.
When is Stop & Go Traffic Management Needed?
Stop & Go is an effective solution for various scenarios, including:
Short-Term Roadworks: When a road lane is temporarily closed or reduced, Stop & Go signs allow alternating traffic to pass through safely.
Utility Repairs: Utility work often requires brief road closures or lane restrictions, and Stop & Go traffic management ensures minimal disruption.
Events: Stop & Go signs are commonly used at events where vehicle access needs to be controlled, such as car parks or event entrances and exits.
Narrow or Restricted Roads: For roads where there is only space for one lane of traffic, Stop & Go can control alternating traffic effectively.

Our Stop & Go services are designed to provide safe, effective traffic control with minimal impact on the flow of vehicles. We combine skilled personnel with the latest traffic management tools to ensure the highest level of service.
Planning and Risk Assessment
Before implementing any Stop & Go traffic management, we conduct a thorough site assessment and develop a tailored traffic management plan.
Site Survey: Our team performs a detailed survey of the worksite to understand the traffic conditions, road layout, and any potential risks. This allows us to determine the most efficient and safest way to implement Stop & Go control.
Risk Assessment: We assess all possible risks, ensuring the safety of both road users and workers is maintained at all times. This includes considerations for visibility, traffic volume, and potential hazards.
Regulatory Compliance: All our traffic management plans are developed in accordance with UK traffic management laws and regulations, including Chapter 8 of the Traffic Signs Manual. We ensure the Stop & Go system is compliant with local authority requirements.

Real-Time Adjustments: Our operatives are trained to make real-time adjustments to the Stop & Go system, ensuring traffic moves efficiently while protecting workers and road users.
Regular Safety Inspections: We continuously monitor the safety and effectiveness of the traffic management system, making necessary adjustments to signage or procedures if conditions change.
Removal of Stop & Go Systems
When the project is complete or traffic control is no longer required, our team ensures the safe and efficient removal of the Stop & Go system.
Quick Removal: Once the worksite is cleared or the need for traffic management has ended, we promptly remove all signs and equipment to restore normal traffic flow.
Site Clean-Up: After removing the Stop & Go signs, we ensure the site is left clean, safe, and clear of any obstructions or hazards.
