After completing a Temporary Traffic Control setup, what should you do to ensure it is effective?

To ensure the effectiveness of a Temporary Traffic Control setup, it is crucial to actively observe its performance and make any necessary adjustments based on real-time conditions. Monitoring allows for the identification of potential issues such as improper sign placement, inadequate visibility, or traffic patterns that may not align with the control measures in place. This proactive approach helps in adjusting the setup to enhance safety for both the workers and the drivers, ensuring that the traffic control measures are functioning as intended.

Leaving the site immediately after the setup would not allow for this critical assessment, while only checking the setup once a week could lead to prolonged issues that might compromise safety. Setting up without monitoring neglects the important responsibility of maintaining a safe work environment. Therefore, continuous observation and the willingness to make changes can significantly contribute to a more effective Temporary Traffic Control setup.
