4.0 METHOD AND PROCEDURE

Traffic Management is defined as the interaction between vehicles and their immediate environment
(e.g. pedestrians, other vehicles, and infrastructure) and the processes undertaken to eliminate and/or
reduce the risks associated with those interactions within and around the project.
Employees, suppliers and sub-contractors within the confines of the project are required to operate
vehicles, plant and equipment safely as part of their assigned activities.
Such work includes the following activities:
• Material loading/unloading activities, material transfer, employees movement, car parking, water
truck delivery, mobile scaffolding, mobile stairs, forklifts, disabled passenger lifter, people mover;

This Traffic Management Plan aims to address hazards associated with pedestrian/vehicle and
vehicle/vehicle interactions within the workplace which are considered to present a risk of harm to
people, property or environment if not managed in a careful and systematic way.
This Traffic Management Plan is effective throughout the entire construction of AL SUFOUH MIXED
DEVELOPMENT PROJECT.
It is to be reviewed every 12 months to ensure its accuracy, should there be any infrastructure
redevelopment or as a result of an occurrence, this plan will be updated to reflect the changes as
required.
The Traffic Management Plan, prepared in accordance with the RTA regulations, DDA and DM safety
code of construction practice to manage disruptions to traffic movements as a result of the activities
associated traffic.
i) Identifying measures to minimize impacts on existing traffic (including pedestrians, vehicles,
equipment) including the staging of construction works especially during loading and offloading of
office portal cabins to minimize lane closures during peak periods and delay to traffic
ii) Identifying access routes, entry and exit points for contrustion traffic impacts;
iii) Identifying temporary and interim traffic arrangements for;
iv) Traffic incident procedures

Objectives of the Traffic Management Plan

To prevent or minimize the risk of fatality, from hazards associated with company owned and leased
vehicles, mobile plant and associated equipment on project facilities and provide processes that fulfill
statutory requirements.
This objective will be achieved by:
• Traffic management, which shall wherever possible separate vehicle routes from pedestrian areas;
• Cleared access routes are to be provided through work areas, wherever practicable routes should be
one-way traffic;
• All roadways, walkways and signage shall be marked in accordance with the UAE standards;
• Crossing of vehicle traffic routes shall have well defined pedestrian crossings;
• Arrangement for dedicated delivery areas;
