Keeping Traffic Flowing: Understanding Traffic Guidance Schemes

Description

Traffic. It’s a word that can strike fear into the hearts of even the most seasoned drivers. But what about the workers who need to maintain and improve our roads? Construction zones can be a recipe for chaos, which is where Traffic Guidance Schemes (TGS) come in.

What is a Traffic Guidance Scheme (TGS)?
Imagine a construction zone. Lanes are closed, workers are present, and the usual flow of traffic is disrupted. A TGS is a visual blueprint that outlines exactly how to manage traffic flow in such a scenario. It’s a detailed plan, typically presented as a large-scale drawing (often A3 size), that specifies the type, location, and arrangement of temporary traffic control signs and devices.
