What is a Traffic Management Vehicle?
A Traffic Management Vehicle is a specially designed vehicle used to control, direct, and manage traffic flow in and around roadworks, construction sites, highways, and major events. These vehicles play a crucial role in ensuring road safety, protecting workers, and maintaining efficient movement for both motorists and pedestrians.
Traffic management vehicles are typically equipped with high-visibility markings, LED warning lights, arrow boards, and secure storage for essential equipment such as cones, road signs, and safety barriers. Many models also feature crash cushions (TMAs) or impact protection to safeguard road workers in high-risk areas.
These vehicles are most commonly used by highways agencies, local councils, construction firms, and private traffic management companies. They are essential for lane closures, diversions, temporary roadworks, and event traffic control.
