Setting up – general signing
Check that full Chapter 8 signing is provided and checked regularly. Log any problems and remedial
action taken. Make sure you are familiar with recommendations on the stability of signs and the need
for standby ‘STOP’/‘GO’ signs.
If possible, avoid placing signs and/or signals on the footway.
For additional advice on signing, including that for works on or near footways, see Chapter 8 and the
Code of Practice.
Care should be taken to allow sufficient room for vehicles to pass between the end of the works and
vehicles waiting at the signal. If the signal head is not within the coned-off area, protect it with traffic
cones. See the Code of Practice for detail on lead-in and exit tapers.
