Barleys Traffic Management

People Matter - PTCD’s successfully deployed in place of traditional traffic controllers At Barleys Traffic Management, safety is always at the forefront of what we do. Recently, we successfully deployed Portable Traffic Control Devices (PTCDs) in place of traditional stop/slow traffic controllers, ensuring efficient traffic flow while enhancing on-site safety. These compact, portable traffic lights allow us to reduce direct exposure to live traffic, particularly in high-risk environments. By embracing innovative solutions like PTCDs, we’re not only improving safety for our team but also enhancing the overall effectiveness of our traffic management operations. As the industry evolves, we remain committed to adopting best practices and new technologies that keep both our crews and road users safe. #TrafficControl #PTCD #TrafficManagement #SafetyFirst #Innovation #PeopleMatter #BarleysTM

The Importance of Detailed Traffic Guidance Schemes in Construction In traffic management, a well-planned Traffic Guidance Scheme (TGS) is more than just a requirement—it’s a crucial tool for ensuring safety, efficiency, and compliance throughout the different stages of construction. Each phase of a project presents unique risks and challenges, making it essential to have a TGS that adapts to evolving site conditions. From initial site establishment to excavation, roadworks, and final reinstatement, a detailed TGS provides: ✅ Clear staging of works – Ensuring smooth transitions between construction phases. ✅ Defined traffic flow adjustments – Managing lane closures, detours, and pedestrian access. ✅ Risk mitigation – Protecting workers and road users by addressing site-specific hazards. ✅ Regulatory compliance – Meeting the requirements of the Department of Transport & Planning (DTP), Austroads and minimizing disruptions. At Barleys Traffic Management, we prioritise meticulous planning to create TGS designs that support safe and efficient project delivery. Whether it’s a short-term setup or a long-term staged development, getting the details right from the start is key to avoiding delays and keeping everyone safe. #TrafficControl #TrafficManagement #TGS #ConstructionPlanning #RoadSafety #TrafficGuidanceScheme #BarleysTM

Pedestrian Management: The Often Overlooked Priority in Traffic Control In traffic management, all eyes are often on vehicles—ensuring their safe passage, minimising delays, and keeping worksites moving efficiently. But what about pedestrians? Too often, pedestrian management is treated as an afterthought, a secondary concern to vehicle flow. But at Barleys Traffic Management, we know it should never be. Pedestrians—whether workers, commuters, parents with prams, school kids, or individuals with mobility challenges—deserve the same level of planning, protection, and priority as any road user. That’s why we take pedestrian safety seriously. From compliant footpath closures and clearly marked detours to well-placed barriers and proactive traffic controllers, we go the extra mile to keep people moving safely. No shortcuts. No compromises. Good traffic management isn’t just about cars and trucks—it’s about people. And at Barleys, we make sure no one gets left behind. #PedestrianSafety #TrafficManagement #BarleysTM #PeopleFirst #SafetyMatters #TrafficControl

🚦 Adapting to Industry Changes – Compliance is Non-Negotiable 🚦 The traffic management industry is constantly evolving, with new regulations designed to improve safety, efficiency, and compliance across worksites. As a company, Barleys Traffic Management is committed to staying ahead of these changes and ensuring all worksites meet the latest legal requirements, including: ✅ The Austroads Guides to Temporary Traffic Management (AGTTM) ✅ The updated Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) AS 1742.3 🔹 Why does this matter? Regulatory updates are not just procedural changes—they are mandatory requirements enforced to enhance road safety for workers, motorists, and the public. 🔹 Outdated Practices Are No Longer Acceptable The way things were done in the past is not a justification for non-compliance today. The industry has moved forward, and we all must adapt to meet these evolving standards. 🔹 Our Commitment to Compliance At Barleys Traffic Management, we take compliance seriously. We ensure all our Traffic Management Plans (TMPs), site setups, and work practices align with the latest AGTTM and CoP guidelines, giving our clients peace of mind that their projects meet legislative and safety requirements. If you need traffic management solutions that are fully compliant, efficient, and prioritise safety, we’re here to help. Let’s work together to build a safer road network for everyone. 🚧 #BarleysTM #TrafficControl #TrafficManagement #ComplianceMatters #RoadSafety #BarleysTrafficManagement #AGTTM #MUTCD #IndustryStandards #SafetyFirst

People Matter. Portable Traffic Control Devices (PTCDs) Are Tools, Not Replacements. In traffic management, the safety and well-being of our team and the public must always come first. That’s why we need to shift our focus to smarter, safer solutions—where people remain at the heart of operations, and technology like Portable Traffic Control Devices (PTCDs) is used as a tool to enhance safety, not as a replacement for human oversight. Compact portable traffic lights, for example, offer an excellent way to shuttle traffic flow efficiently. However, their effectiveness depends on having trained traffic controllers on-site. By placing traffic controllers in a safe location, out of harm’s way, to monitor and adjust these systems as needed, we ensure: - Safety: Controllers can observe and manage unforeseen risks. - Efficiency: They can adapt operations in real-time to avoid congestion. - Team and Public Confidence: Drivers and workers feel reassured when skilled professionals oversee operations. At Barleys Traffic Management, we firmly believe that while technology is a powerful ally, it cannot replace human intuition, situational awareness, and care. Portable Traffic Control Devices help reduce exposure to danger, but it’s the experienced hands of traffic controllers who keep everyone safe. Let’s prioritize people. Let’s innovate, adapt, and embrace tools that protect—not replace—our workforce. Because at the end of the day, lives matter more than devices. #TrafficControl #TrafficManagement #SafetyFirst #PTCD #InnovationInAction #PeopleMatter #BarleysTM
