SQ2®

The minimum requirement is for one signal head on each approach. For safe operation, drivers must be able to see a signal on approach and while waiting at the ‘Wait here’ sign. This might require the use of more than one signal head on each approach. Discover how our tailored approach aligns with your project requirements and experience a service like no other through our commitment to reliability and innovation.

While others offer limited, often single-phase solutions,Multiphase ADS stands alone in its ability to seamlessly control 2, 3, and even 4-way temporary junctions—without manual intervention. Build on our core signals with additional components to enable them for a variety of specialized applications. We are Horizon Signal, and we are constantly pushing the boundaries of what our products are capable of. It’s about advancing a safer world by providing you with the absolute best Portable Traffic Signals on the market.

• When hiring or deploying temporary traffic lights for use on public roads, it’s essential to ensure the equipment meets the necessary legal and technical standards.
• These signs indicate that use of the hard shoulder as a traffic lane has come to an end.
• Where the contraflow lane is separated by a physical barrier or a buffer lane (a lane closed to traffic), the white arrow is not shown.

Sign to direct works traffic portable traffic system in advance of a road junction or works entrance. Where a contraflow system operates, traffic cylinders are used to separate opposing flows of traffic in adjacent lanes. Traffic lanes move across to the left, making use of the hard shoulder.

The signs are repeated at regular intervals, usually every ½ mile. In these examples, there are no lane restrictions such as a width limit. The vertical black line indicates that the left-hand lane is the hard shoulder. The white downward-pointing arrow indicates a contraflow traffic lane separated by traffic cylinders. Where the contraflow lane is separated by a physical barrier or a buffer lane (a lane closed to traffic), the white arrow is not shown.

Often, pedestrian signal heads are mounted on Juniors for the purposes of controlling pedestrian traffic when our HD Pop-Ups are controlling larger intersections. Everything is easily integrated with our easy-to-use radio system. We offer pedestrian signals that are quick to deploy and fully compliant with all UK standards.

These signs indicate that use of the hard shoulder as a traffic lane has come to an end. The sign on the right indicates that the carriageway ahead is fully open. These signs are located where the exit route leaves the main through route. The upper sign is used on motorways and the lower sign on all-purpose roads. The ‘road works’ sign may have a plate that indicates the distance to, the location of, or the nature of the works.

Everything you need to know about hiring temporary traffic lights, including the difference between portable and temporary options. The Pop-Up™ exceeds industry standards for portable traffic control devices, using the EDI Conflict Monitor™ (well proven in permanent signal applications). Detected faults are acted upon system-wide within as little as ½ second. Similarly, as battery exchanges are reduced, the time workers spend on-site or next to live lanes is also reduced so they are less susceptible to road accidents, injuries or abuse.

Need Temporary Traffic Signals for Your Project?

On the approach to major road works, especially on motorways and dual carriageway roads, signs may indicate the nature and duration of the works. At night or in poor daytime visibility, road danger lights may additionally be used to indicate the limits of a temporary obstruction of the carriageway. The only portable signal in our fleet that allows the LED lights to dim during evenings and at night to the Highways regulations, conserving battery life. At Beaumont Traffic Management, we carefully plan and manage temporary signal installations to ensure smooth traffic flow, regulatory compliance, and minimal disruption to the public. At Beaumont Traffic Management, portable signals are often used for short-duration works where rapid setup and flexibility are essential.

The SQ2 is the only Portable Traffic Signal that has been successfully crash tested to NCHRP 350 TL-3 standards. The SQ2 system is the most dependable and user-friendly flagger safety PTS system, enabling work crews to complete projects quicker and safer. Vehicular traffic should proceed slowly, owing to workforce in the road ahead. Temporary sign used at road works to instruct cyclists to dismount and use the adjacent footway. Location of telephone to be used by drivers of wide loads to seek assistance. In the event of a breakdown within a road works site, await rescue by free recovery service.

When roadworks, utility works, or construction projects affect traffic flow, traffic signals are often used to control vehicles safely and efficiently. However, the terms portable traffic signals and temporary traffic signals are often used interchangeably, even though they can refer to slightly different setups and uses. At some road works sites on single carriageway roads where two-way traffic flow is not possible, it is necessary to alternate the direction of flow by traffic control. For short lengths, this may be achieved by manually operated ‘STOP/GO’ boards at each end.

All lanes on the carriageway will be closed, but traffic will move slowly forward, over a distance of several miles, on the approach to the area where the work is being undertaken. By the time the convoy reaches this area, the works should have been completed, traffic will be allowed to increase its speed and traffic lanes will be opened. The convoy vehicles will have a large red cross and red lights flashing in vertical pairs. That’s why we offer expert guidance, no matter what type of traffic signals you’re looking to hire. We’ll help you hire the right temporary traffic lights for your needs.

Sign on a vehicle being used in connection with highway maintenance works (flashing amber lights are normally mounted on the roof of the vehicle). Temporary sign used at road works to indicate the direction in which pedestrians should look for approaching traffic. Signs for an uncontrolled junction on a road with shuttle working. Traffic signals ahead where convoy working is in operation. Sign to direct works traffic at a road junction or works entrance.
