Start with the signage plan

All work affecting a road, pavement or footpath/cycle path must have an approved traffic management plan (arbeidsvarslingsplan), often called a signage plan. It specifies which signs must be put up, where they must stand and how far from the work site. The plan is applied for from the road owner: the municipality for municipal roads, and the county or the Norwegian Public Roads Administration (Statens vegvesen) for the larger ones.

Send us the plan, or a list of the signs it requires, and we'll put the equipment together for you. Tell us how many of each you need, and we'll check we have enough. Get in touch well before work starts, so you're not left without signs when the job is due to begin.

What we have

Warning signs for roadworks and road narrowing, distance plates for 150 metres, 50 km/h speed limit and end of limit, no entry and no admittance signs, construction area, temporary diversion and diversion arrow, and signs directing pedestrians across to the pavement on the other side.

We also have obstruction markers, traffic cylinders and posts with bases for putting up signs where you can't use existing posts.

Set up and keep an eye on it

The signs must be in the right order and at the right height, and visible well before the work site. Walk through the barrier layout from both directions, the way a driver or pedestrian will meet it. If you only see the sign when you are already there, it is too close.

The bases must stand steady in wind and the draught from passing traffic. Check the signs every day, and after storms or snow ploughing. A sign that has blown over or been turned round is worse than no sign at all. Remove or cover the signs when work stops, so they don't stand there giving the wrong message.

Barriers around the site

If you need to cordon off a building site or work area from the public, use signs together with temporary fencing. If a lift is standing in the carriageway, the signage plan applies to it just as much. Remember to include the lift and the safety zone around it when you apply. We can deliver signs, fencing and machines together with our own transport.
