Abstract

Looks at the effects and measures that can be used to minimise road works and temporary closures for all road users. Acts as a reference source to where relevant information can be found in the 2016 TSRGD. Also provides new options for lane control wicket signs, and updates for relaxation schemes and selection and installation of signs and equipment. The 2020 update relates to new sign design integration, diversions, speed limits, length and spacing of road works, sign clutter and skills and competence of the designer. It is based on flexibilities of the TSRGD 2016.
