6.0 PROCEDURE
6.1 Definition

Lorries with gross weight of less than 10 tons, pick up

LIGHT VEHICLES
trucks and saloon cars
.
Lorries exceeding gross weight up to 10 tons or more such as
HEAVY VEHICLES mobile and crawler cranes, dump trucks, concrete mixer
lorries, and etc.
Crawlers cranes, trailers, low loaders, excavators, forklifts
SLOW VEHICLES
backhoe and etc.
Vehicles consist of TOURIST AND KWS cars,
IN HOUSE VEHICLES
consultant and clients vehicles
PUBLIC VEHICLES All non-in-house vehicles

The traffic management shall be implemented in a safe and accident free manner and the
following measures shall be carried out without fail at site. The details stages of
temporary internal/external road, control of junction with flag (men) or traffic signage,
cones, barriers and blinkers shall be shown sufficiently at site for the information of
project site workers.

6.2 Planning
Before any road closure can be implemented, the Work Package Contractor will submit the
proposed road closure plan complete with schedule of closure for review and approval. The
road closure will only be implemented after the approval is obtained from KWS

6.3 Work Instruction

The persons involved should be informed about the possible presence of traffic diversion in
the working and transportation area, the safety clearances and the possible instructions from
the local authority. Also, the persons involved should be acquainted with the local authority
and its telephone number. Local authority will be informed about all incidents in relation to
traffic diversions.

6.4 Stage of Traffic and Safety Management Scheme

 Traffic control during road closure
 Traffic diversion
 Traffic control during construction stage (haul road)
6.5 Duties and Responsibility of Traffic Management Officer (HSSE Manager)
 To ensure all roads signages are in place and in good condition at all time.
 To ensure that all permits are obtained before any diversion, closure, changes of
traffic flow are made.
 To ensure to coordinate to all parties and to brief all parties from time to time on the
traffic management issues.
 ITAFA ENGINEERING SERVICES LIMITED

 To ensure that the preventive maintenance of the road and signage's are carried out
on daily basis.
 To ensure that all flagman are always in their designated area at all time
 To ensure to comply with all requirement as per stated in the traffic management
write up.
 To carry out investigation, report to relevant parties and coordinate if there are any
accident happened at the site.

6.6 Road and Signage Maintenance

The road will be cleaned everyday by using water browser and general workers. The traffic
officer will ensure that the road is clean and safe to use at all time. The traffic officer will also
ensure that daily inspection is carrying out.

6.7 Traffic Management Scheme Preparation Procedure

6.7.1 Collecting Data

In carry out traffic management, respective person will visit the site for field check and
collect the entire inventory on the existing facilities including:

i. Identify all roads crossings

ii. Any necessary working permit to commence utilities diversion
iii. Identify the needs of temporary road diversion

6.7.2 Select the Traffic and Construction Duration Categories

Duration categories
Classification Duration
Temporary < 1 day
Short term diversion < 1 month
Long term diversion >1 month

6.7.3 Determine the Extent of Roadway Occupancy

The location of the road crossing will generally dictate the degree which the roadway will
be occupied and closed or diverted the normal traffic. To define the extent of the
occupancy, the following factors should be determined.

i. Beginning / ending points

ii. Length of the occupied roadway
iii. Portion of the roadway that will be closed / diverted
iv. Work duration on the designated location

6.8 Traffic Management Arrangement

Since the works involved are roadwork, construction of bridge and culvert across the road,
and maintenance road, a proper traffic management within site area is required.

6.9 Traffic Diversion Planning

For the bridge or culvert construction, the road will be totally closed and new route diversion
will be proposed. In case where there is two or more bridge or culvert need to be
constructed in one zone, a proper planning will be done in order to determine which area to
be constructed first. As example, in Figure 1 shown there are two bridges to be constructed.
In this case, bridge 18 will be constructed first. New road of diversion will be proposed in
order to allow the vehicle to enter the work area. Once bridge 18 is completed and ready to
use, the bridge will be opened to construct bridge 17. A proper signage will be erected. Road
at bridge 17 will be closed and NO ENTRY signage will be erected. Plastic barrier will be
placed at the proposed location. Refer to Figure 2 for the detailed proposed signage and
road condition.

Figure 2: Proposed Signage and Road Condition

For one side working condition, one lane will be opened and plastic barrier or traffic cone
will be placed at the work area. Proper signage will be erected. Refer to Figure 3 for the
detail work diversion.

Figure 3: Road Diversion for One Side Working Condition

For work zone which is at the middle of the road, two lanes will be opened on the both side
of the road. Plastic barrier or traffic cone will be placed at the respective location and proper
signage will be erected. Refer to Figure 4 for the detail. The temporary equipments and
signage will be removed accordingly upon the completion.

6.10 Traffic Management Equipment

The traffic management equipment used in the project are:

 Light weight movable plastic barriers

 Light weight movable plastic hoardings
 Concrete Barriers
 Arrow flasher (power by solar)
 Light weight movable traffic cone
 Temporary signage

6.11 Signage
A proper signage which classified as advance warning area will be placed according to the
condition. Within the advance warning area, approaching drivers are informed that they
are entering a work zone, and given an initial indication of any action to be taken ahead.
If a temporary reduce speed limit applies in the work zone, signing for this is located in
the advanced warning area.
