MOBILE CARRIAGEWAY CLOSURE TECHNIQUES

NOTES: 146
 * 1) When it is to be closed temporarily, cones are placed across the slip road and a "lane closed" barrier to diagram 7105 is placed behind the cones.
 * 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 "STOP FOR CONVOY IF DIRECTED" and "WAIT HERE FOR CONVOY" signs should be well illuminated, if necessary, by means of temporary lighting.
 * 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.
