Portable Traffic Signals

You will receive formal training in the knowledge and skills required

To assess traffic flow rates and set up the Portable Traffic Signal (PTS) in the correct locations to manage the through traffic in the safest possible manner.

We cover every aspect from initial risk assessment of the site, through approach and exit signage to setting up the light timings to suit the volume of traffic.

The 1/2 day course, for standard 2 way set of PTS, will cover items including

• Pre Start Checks
• Setting up the controllers as per the Permit
• Correct use and setup of Vehicle Activation, Fixed Times & Manual Control
• Correct setting up of the PTS and associated cones and signs

The 1 day course will cover the above, but also include the set up and use of multi phase and multi head PTS and is aimed at the experienced operator and / or supervisor and requires more specialist knowledge.

It's important that the training is enjoyable, relevant and useful. That's why all of our courses are tailored to your needs. The following information is for general guidance, and we are happy to discuss your content, duration, location, certification and cost requirements.

We offer 4 main courses that relate to working in the roadway and many others that also may be needed. 

The following courses are suitable for anyone who is working in the road or footway undertaking any maintenance tasks.

1. Road safety and sign set up including use of stop and go boards    - aimed at everyone working in the roadway and all people working on the roads should have this.
