Traffic Control

Traffic control can help to make any workplace safer, solving the risks caused by cars and other vehicles. Proper traffic management can keep everyone safe, including pedestrians, so it’s a vital thing to consider.

Buildingmaterials.co.uk offers a whole range of traffic control supplies which can help with health and safety risks as well as giving solutions to some common vehicle based problems.

Keeping speed limits and work sites properly signed can stop traffic becoming a nuisance. You can enforce a low speed limit with our reflective traffic signs, and make drivers aware of the hazards of construction sites with our specialised work site signs. We also stock all the posts and fixings, so you can easily install signs on your premises. Speed bumps are another way to slow cars down. These can be ordered in pieces to create any length, in both black or a highly visible yellow. We also stock the fixing bolts for installation.

Traffic cones are an essential part of traffic control. These are versatile and moveable, so you can use them repeatedly for any hazard that may arise. From heavy duty weighted traffic cones to those suitable for pedestrians, there will be something your workplace can make use of. We also stock webbing to allow the creation of barriers between cones. 

We also have parking posts and traffic bollards, which are a more heavy duty solution to solving traffic management. These are available both with swing back or fixed motion, in fluorescent orange and reflective coating.

Stationary cars can be as hazardous as moving ones. Buildingmaterials.co.uk stocks both car parking signs for labelling spaces appropriately, from disabled only to emergency vehicles. We also stock wheel clamping signs to further enforce parking regulations.

We have a range of access ramps which can provide a lightweight solution to disabled access problems. These are quick and easy to position for any vehicle, and are available in five lengths with a carrying capacity of 250kg.

You might need to fence off areas for to restrict access from either vehicles or pedestrians. We stock expanding barrier systems and impact protection barriers ideal for a warehouse environment. Or, we stock a range of lighter weight queue management barriers and brightly coloured traffic barriers.

It’s not only cars that can cause a hazard. Keeping bicycles safely stored can help keep the front of a building tidy, as well as increasing security for cycle owners. We stock a range of cycle racks, offering storage for up to 20 bicycles.

Vehicle accessories such as warning triangles and hazard markers can make lorries, vans and cars more visible, both to other road users and pedestrians. These are brightly coloured and reflective, giving maximum visibility even in building site or poor weather conditions. Our safety mirrors are specially designed to give maximum visibility around corners and in hard to see places. These can be used for security measures as well, letting you keep an eye on all areas with an increased visual range. 

Keeping traffic hazards to a minimum should be a priority for anyone who wants to reduce health and safety risks. Both drivers and pedestrians can benefit from these measures.
