Traffic Management for Arborists

Traffic Management for Arborists & Tree Surgeons

 

Tree work beside or above a live road can create specific traffic management challenges. Peak Traffic Management provides traffic management support for arborists, tree surgeons and vegetation contractors working across Derbyshire, the East Midlands and West Midlands.

 

Operations such as tree felling, pruning, crown reduction, roadside clearance and the movement of specialist equipment can affect the carriageway, footway or visibility for approaching traffic. The traffic management therefore needs to provide a clearly defined working area while taking account of vehicles, pedestrians, access and the changing nature of the work.

 

Depending on the site, a suitable arrangement may involve temporary traffic lights, stop/go control, lane restrictions, road closures, signs, cones or barriers. The correct solution depends on factors such as road width, traffic flow, work duration, tree location and the equipment being used by the arboricultural team.

 

We understand that arboriculture work can be highly site-specific, so the traffic management should be planned around the actual operation rather than treated as a standard layout. We can also support plans, permits, RAMS, installation and removal where required.
