TRAFFIC FLOW MANAGEMENT

Traffic management measures improve the flow of vehicles through a given area. When considering the subject of traffic management, designers and planners need to think about a variety of factors.

Visibility

Restricted lanes with an active bollard system in place need to be clearly marked for both authorised and unauthorised vehicles. The bollards themselves need to have reflective strips to heighten their visibility especially at night. Considerations need to be placed on signage, visual lane separation and also a contingency plan for vehicles who have approached the restricted area and been denied access.
