A new mobile carriageway closure technique has been uploaded to the DMRB website. The technique has been in use for quite some time now. Interesting to see a Welsh version of it as well.

Looks more sane than having someone scramble across the carriageway with a big A frame in their hands. As someone unconvinced by single banking of signs, this technique should presumably allow for double banking again?

Good news on the TTM front, pity NEAR TTM proposals are taking up to much time.

Gotta love an optimist . The single banking cat is loooong out of the bag.

Double banking will only happen in very rare cases for Relaxation works when the crowd doing the job are sufficiently switched on to realise it's REALLY needed. In all other cases, single banking is now the norm for Relaxations.

I'll be heading south on the M1 next week - I wonder if those rather silly worded signs at J33, warning of traffic merging, will still be there?

Traffic management contractors have been doing this as a custom and practice for years on local authority roads when they need to swop over the downstream lane closure from one side to the other or make a change to the layout. The TM vehicle or IPV drives slowly on approach to or through the works not displaying any flashing arrows or special signs just flashing lights, the operatives downstream can see the approaching TM vehicle and traffic free zone and swop everything over.

Not just on local authority roads, it may *ahem* occasionally be done on the SRN when you have carriageways coned down to one lane & a few miles where a TSCO or IPV can do 30mph for a bit...
