Road Signage, Marking and Traffic Accommodation for Roadworks

Roadworks put workers and the travelling public within metres of moving traffic, and weak traffic accommodation is a direct cause of injuries and fatalities. This course covers the planning of temporary traffic accommodation, signage, road marking and safe work zones on live roads. It is grounded in African road construction and maintenance where traffic volumes and enforcement vary widely.

What you will be able to do

  • Plan traffic accommodation for construction on live roads.
  • Lay out signage, cones and barriers for safe work zones.
  • Supervise temporary and permanent road marking application.
  • Manage lane closures, detours and flag control safely.
  • Protect workers, pedestrians and road users during works.
  • Inspect and maintain traffic accommodation through the project.
