2. The sign is changed to "GO" and the convoy vehicle sets off, leading the traffic past the works at a speed of 10 mph or less.
The sign is changed to "STOP" when the last vehicle in the queue has entered the working area. At busy periods this may have to be restricted to a specific number of vehicles.

3. At the end of the works the convoy vehicle pulls over, waves traffic on, then waits until the last vehicle has cleared the works before turning round to proceed in the return direction as Step 1.
The position of the pull-off X should be such that the last vehicle in the convoy has passed the works area before the convoy vehicle pulls off. This can be achieved by extending the coning past the end of the works.
The convoy vehicle at position X should not obscure the "STOP" sign for the opposing vehicles.
