Traffic is one of the main reasons for various road accidents that we hear or read every day in the news updates. Most fatal accidents have been because of reckless and careless driving in traffic prone areas.

5 Vital tips to manage onsite traffic as a professional:
- Make a risk assessment report:
A risk assessment report helps the traffic controller to understand the traffic risks involved at the construction site. The report creates opportunities to think of ways the traffic can be controlled. For instance, where is the construction site, how many workers on the field, peak hours of business around, etc…
- Create a parking space:
Make room for cars to park at a safe distance from the construction site. It helps the driver to walk up to the vehicle after finishing business and prevent traffic congestion. Look for nearby pathways and roadways that have dead ends; these can be used for parking the vehicles.
- Make use of signs and sign boards:
Signboards come as a major help. Make use of signboards like; under construction, drive slow, a certain speed limit, take the other route, etc… helps to a great extent in traffic management. Hire a traffic controlling unit onsite that can help divert the traffic and maintain good traffic decorum near the business site.
- Follow the site’s traffic rules:
As a responsible citizen, it is the duty to follow traffic rules. Traffic rules also expect the driver to be patient and wait for the instructions of the traffic controller to move around. They must remember that everyone is equally willing to reach home or work rather wasting fuel in traffic.
- Listen to the traffic controller:
Your traffic controller has all the updates and knowledge of the roadways. Thus, it would be wise to listen to him and follow the team’s instructions. This will ensure smooth traffic in and around the business site.
