Traffic and Pedestrian Management

Effective traffic management is essential to the success of any event; the enjoyment of attendees and the minimisation of impact on the local infrastructure. TAO Productions has considerable expertise and experience in the development of Traffic, Transport and Pedestrian Management Strategies. This overlooked aspect of event planning can be incredibly complex and often requires specialist advice.

TAO Productions can help you. Do you know?:

• The capacity of your car parks.
• The maximum flow along the public roads to your venue (How long it take to reach and fill your car parks).
• How to segregate and fill your car parks to facilitate a proficient exit from the venue at the end of your event. Whilst attendees are normally very patient prior to the event this is rarely extended once your event has finished!
• How to minimise the potential for vehicular and pedestrian conflict.
• How to maintain a clear route for emergency services to access your venue.
• What signage and lighting you will need.
• How many marshals you require and what training & equipment they will need.

TAO Production can help answer all of these and prepare a comprehensive Traffic Management Plan & Risk Assessment and perform Local Authority and Emergency Services liaison. We can also arrange Traffic Management Coordinators, Supervisors, Marshals and Chapter 8 Qualified Personnel for your event.

TAO Traffic Managers and personnel are qualified to Lantra Awards 12A, 12B, 12D T1,T2, T3 & T5 as a minimum, together with NRSWA Qualification 002 and 010 Street Works Operative and Supervisor (Chapter 8).

PEDESTRIAN MANAGEMENT

Whether it's a major public event of social and cultural importance, concert, firework display, country show, athletics event, carnival or large scale corporate event there is the requirement to plan and manage pedestrian arrivals, access, assembly and dispersal.

The importance of suitable and sufficient planning in this area cannot be underestimated particularly with respect to 'on-site' arrangements. The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 stipulates that provision must be made for the safe circulation of pedestrians. TAO has the expertise and experience to provide a comprehensive pedestrian management service including:

Planning - No matter what the event, pre-planning and assessment of pedestrain routes and potential congregation points is integral to the safety and success of the project. From feasibility analysis & risk assessments to CAD planning and local authority liaison; allow our expertise to take the legwork out of the process. Implementation - From specifying suitable barriers to procuring and managing specialist crowd and vehicle marshals; TAO can take care of all aspects of the plan.
