Road Traffic Management
Greenlight Highways offers a comprehensive range of services designed to address the diverse needs of our community.
From traffic signal optimisation to road closures and diversions. We pride ourselves on delivering tailored solutions that minimise disruptions and maximise efficiency.
The specific traffic management solutions suitable for your project will depend on factors such as the scale of the project, budget, existing infrastructure, and local regulations.
Consulting with traffic management professionals like us and CAD planners can provide valuable guidance in selecting the most effective solutions for your specific needs.
Times When You Need Road Traffic Management..
Temporary road closures can be needed for a variety of reasons such as special events, emergency situations, road maintenance, and nearby construction activities. Here are some common reasons why a road might need to be closed and where Greenlight Highways can help:
Construction or Maintenance
Roads may be closed to facilitate construction projects, such as road expansions, bridge repairs, repaving, or utility work. These closures ensure the safety of workers and the public while allowing necessary improvements to be made.
Special Events
Roads might be closed temporarily to accommodate parades, marathons, festivals, concerts, or other large-scale events. Closing roads during such events helps manage pedestrian and vehicle traffic and ensures participant and spectator safety.
Traffic Accidents or Incidents
In the case of a major accident, hazardous spill, or other emergency incident, a road may be closed to allow emergency responders to access the scene, provide assistance, and conduct investigations.
Severe Weather or Natural Disasters
Roads could be closed due to severe weather conditions like heavy snow, flooding, landslides, or hurricanes. These closures help protect drivers from dangerous conditions and allow time for road clearing and repairs.
Road Repairs and Rehabilitation
Roads may be closed for routine maintenance, such as filling potholes, repairing damaged infrastructure, or upgrading road features like signage and lighting.
Public Safety
Roads might be closed to ensure public safety during demonstrations, protests, or large gatherings that have the potential to disrupt traffic or escalate into unsafe situations.
Utility Work
Road closures may be necessary to allow utility companies to perform repairs or upgrades to underground utilities, such as water, gas, fibre or electrical lines.
Infrastructure Inspections
Roads could be closed temporarily for infrastructure inspections, including bridge assessments, tunnel inspections, or other evaluations of critical transportation elements.
Environmental Concerns
Temporary road closures might be initiated to protect sensitive ecological areas, wildlife habitats, or nesting sites during specific times of the year.
Traffic Calming Measures
Roads may be closed or restricted in certain areas as part of traffic calming initiatives to reduce vehicle speed and enhance pedestrian safety.
Security Reasons
Roads could be closed due to security concerns related to government buildings, embassies, or other sensitive locations.
Planned Road Improvements
Some closures are implemented to allow for long-term road improvements, such as new interchanges, realignments, or the creation of new intersections.
Law Enforcement Operations
Law enforcement agencies might close roads during specific operations, such as vehicle pursuits, crime scene investigations, or checkpoints.
Utility Emergencies
Roads could be closed in the event of utility emergencies, such as gas leaks or water main breaks, to ensure the safety of the public and responders.
Road closures are typically communicated through advanced notice, signage, and alternative routes to minimise inconvenience and ensure that drivers are aware of the changes in traffic patterns.

Road Traffic Design & Planning
Using the latest CONE 11 software we create Computer Aided Design (CAD) layouts to provide the most effective and efficient methods of managing traffic, while adhering to current legislation.
This ensures we can implement schemes in a safe and cost effective manner by eliminating inaccuracies and building more efficient workflows.
All of our planners are trained to deliver accurate and site-specific schemes that meet all Local Authority and Highways Authority requirements, including:
- Site surveys
- Notices
- Scheme planning and design
- CAD drawings and plans
- Method statements
- Risk assessments
