Safety at Street Works and Road Works
Author: Great Britain: Department for TransportPublisher:
ISBN: 9780115531453
Category : Roads
Languages : en
Pages : 105
Book Description
This publication sets out the statutory requirements for signing, lighting, and guarding at street works and road works. This is the core reference manual for utility companies, local authorities, street work contractors and others whose day-to-day business involves street works (works by statutory undertakers and other utility companies etc) and road works (works to maintain or repair road infrastructure). The code, which covers all of the UK and includes national variations, is now compulsory for highway/road authorities in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. It applies to all single carriageway roads and dual carriageways with a speed limit of 40 mph or less. The code is now divided into three parts: Basic Principles, Operations, and Equipment and Vehicles; site layout diagrams have been redrawn to make them easier to understand. There is: increased emphasis on using risk assessment and guidance on what to consider in such assessments; strengthened guidance on providing for pedestrians and cyclists and new guidance on traffic control measures related to road closures, one-way working and temporary road obstructions; enhanced advice on other traffic control measures including works near tramways and railways, and mobile/short duration works; and updated advice on high visibility clothing and the signing and conspicuity requirements for work vehicles. Effective from 1 October 2014 when it will supersede the 2001 edition (ISBN 9780115519581).

Pages : 164
Book Description
This guide is intended to provide information on how to identify safety and mobility needs for pedestrians with the roadway right-of-way. Useful for engineers, planners, safety professionals and decision-makers, the guide covers such topics as: the Walking Environment including sidewalks, curb ramps, crosswalks, roadway lighting and pedestrian over and under passes; Roadway Design including bicycle lanes, roadway narrowing, reducing the number of lanes, one-way/two-way streets, right-turn slip lanes and raised medians; Intersections with roundabouts, T-intersections and median barriers; and Traffic calming designs.

Work Zone Traffic Management Synthesis
Author: Errol C. NoelPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Pedestrian accidents
Languages : en
Pages : 64
Book Description
This report is a synthesis of research findings and current practices in controlling and protecting pedestrian traffic in work zones. The information presented here is based on a review of research reports and work zone manuals of a selection of state and city highway agencies, discussions with highway officials, and field observation of projects involving road work and building construction and maintenance. The report presents an assessment of the state-of-the-practice and makes recommendations for future revisions of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (A).

Book Description
This second edition of Pedestrian safety: a road safety manual for decision-makers and practitioners has updated the evidence on risk factors and interventions for pedestrian safety. The manual is aimed at policy-makers and road safety practitioners and draws on experience from countries that have succeeded in improving pedestrian safety. Pedestrian risk is increased when roadway design and land-use planning fail to provide facilities such as sidewalks, or adequate consideration of pedestrian access at intersections. There are several specific engineering measures that reduce pedestrian exposure to vehicular traffic and most involve separating pedestrians from vehicles or reducing traffic volume. Speed management is important for addressing pedestrian safety and involves much more than setting and enforcing appropriate speed limits. It deploys a range of engineering, enforcement and education measures in order to balance safety with efficient vehicle speeds on the road network. Road environment, legislation, and enforcement interventions – both alone and in combination with road user behaviour/education remedies –can improve pedestrian safety.
