MOBILE CARRIAGEWAY CLOSURE TECHNIQUES

Plan MCC2: Mobile Carriageway Closure, closure of the downstream end of the access slip road using a works vehicle

NOTES:

  1. The specification for the works vehicle that closes the slip road is given in paragraph O11.8.5 below.
  2. If queuing vehicles may cause congestion at the entry to the slip road, additional warning signs will be required on the approach roads to the junction; see Section O11.5.
  3. In the hours of darkness, the area in the vicinity of the manually operated "STOP/GO" sign should be well illuminated, if necessary by means of temporary lighting. The "STOP/GO" boards must themselves be illuminated if used at night.
  4. Remotely operated signs may be considered to minimise the period that the slip road signs are displayed.
  5. Keys to the plan are given in Tables A1.4 and A1.5 of Appendix 1.
