MOBILE LANE CLOSURE TECHNIQUE

Plan MLC7: Mobile Lane Closure, working through junctions – slip road signing options

Either:

  • a static "road works" sign to diagram 7001 in combination with a "Mobile road works" plate to diagram 7001.1; or
  • a mobile sign to diagram 7402 displaying an "Ahead" plate should be displayed on the slip road just prior to the arrival of the convoy, and removed after all the advance signing vehicles have passed the slip road.

Alternatively, consideration should be given to the need for either partial or complete closure of the slip road using either static signing or police/traffic officer assistance to improve safety and flow of traffic during the MLC operation.

For clarity, the three vehicle or trailer-mounted advance signs have been omitted from these plans.
