Effective Traffic management at events enhances safety for both motorists and pedestrians while preventing unauthorised vehicular access to the event location and dovetailing with your operational plan.

What sort of events need traffic management?

Traffic management at events has three key objectives:

  • Prevent traffic jams and congestion for both event goers and local residents/businesses.
  • Enhance safety for pedestrians and local residents.
  • Support operational efficiency for the event.

At SAFECROWDS GROUP we have wide-ranging experience of planning and implementing traffic management for a variety of events, including:

  • Sports fixtures and stadiums.
  • Music festivals.
  • Artisan and festive markets.
  • VIP visits.
  • Open air civic and community events.

Event traffic management from SAFECROWDS GROUP

We can provide a turnkey service for your event traffic management, with full integration with hostile vehicle mitigation(HVM) and event security where required, drawing on our team of traffic management professionals, crowd managers, security and stewarding teams, and resident liaison officers.

Our traffic management teams are fully Lantra trained and certified to National Highways Sector Scheme (NHSS) standards, and have completed  first aid and ACT (Action Counters Terrorism) training.

Where appropriate, we can also deploy Community Safety Accreditation Scheme (CSAS) certified traffic management professionals who can exercise powers usually reserved for the police, with the authority to:

  • Direct traffic.
  • Ensure traffic flows.
  • Issue fixed penalty notices for non-compliance with traffic management measures.

We can help you liaise with the local authority to request road closures and evidence that these will be managed in a way that adheres to The Traffic Management Act 2004, and use CAD designs to evidence that all relevant regulations and standards have been met, such as those outlined in Chapter 8 of the UK’s Highways Agency guidance. These CAD layouts also enable fast and simple modifications should the initial plan need to be changed.

For stadium and arena events, we provide traffic management for Zone Ex, and we can also help you with car park planning, design and management developing a parking strategy that works for your team, your supply chain, your customers, and local residents and businesses.
