More about Traffic Management

Traffic management is essential for directing traffic, keeping things moving and blocking unauthorised access.

Designed to be eye-catching and sturdy, yet easy to stack and transport, traffic management barriers are a common sight on UK roads, motorways, and driveways, and command the respect of UK road users.

Types of traffic management barrier

Traffic management can be achieved using a selection of barrier and fence types. These include:

Chapter 8 traffic barriers
Traffic separators
Traffic management bollards
Crowd control barriers and gates

These barriers tend to be brightly coloured to attract the attention of drivers and are made from sturdy plastics to minimise potential damage from potential impacts.

Uses of traffic management barriers

Traditionally, Chapter 8 traffic management barriers are
used to either control the flow of traffic or cease road traffic completely.

While the reasons for this control may vary, general reasons
include:

Roadworks
Road closures
Natural obstacles such as trees, bridges, abutments, etc.
Adverse weather, including storm damage and flooding.
Carriageway separation
Protection of specific safety zones, including schools or building sites

No matter the reason for needing traffic barriers, you can browse Chapter 8 traffic management barriers and traffic separators from Tradefence.
They offer interlocking, tamper-proof protection and ensure that hazards for road users are kept separate from the main flow of traffic.

Keeping drivers safe and separate on UK roads.

Chapter 8 traffic management barriers

Constructed from blow- moulded HDPE, Chapter 8 traffic barriers are made of strong, yet lightweight high-density polyethene.

This gives them the integral strength to stand in adverse weather and withstand knocks and accidental damage, without being too heavy to
move.

The Chapter 8 traffic management barrier also features a patterned strip that features a repeating red and white pattern, reminiscent of the UK’s No Entry traffic sign. This strip is attention-grabbing during the day
and is also reflective, so vehicles passing at night will see it when it reflects light from oncoming headlights or fog lights. 

Water-filled traffic separators

Another commonly used type of traffic management barrier is water-filled traffic separators, sometimes referred to as water-filled barricades.

They are constructed from HDPE which makes them tough but light, so they’re easy to stack and transport. Once they arrive on-site, they are filled with water and placed along the edge of the hazard.

Once in place, the barrier traffic management separators connect with a hook and eye fastening system, making them easy to join and separating the hazard securely.  

As with Chapter 8 traffic barriers, the red and white alternating pattern, is designed to be noticeable and remind drivers of the No Entry sign, encouraging them subconsciously to stop.

Crowd control barriers

Although traditionally used at large events, crowd control barriers are ideal for separating pedestrians from potential roadside hazards.

Available with or without spring-loaded gates, you can minimise the impact of your work and give people in the community a clear, safe, and protected walkway, no matter what is occurring on the nation’s roads.
