[QUOTE="binky, post: 471228, member: 490"] I've been asked to quote for installing festoon lighting on catenary wires over a road. Now the cunning plan is to work late at night / early hours of the morning off a mobile cherry picker, but clealry there needs to be some management of the general public on the footpaths and some traffic management. The road is a single lane, one way street in a quietish part fo town, so not heavy traffic during the night. Now I am planning warning signs at the entrance too the road , but not to close the road itself as we aren't digging holes or anything like that, but a quick read of Chapter 8 guidelines seems to show lots of advice on traffic management for roadworks, which is far in excess of what I need. So I'm not sure how far I need to go with Ch8 compliance, do I need it all? I've been talking to a few people who seem to think the best advice is ignore it and do work out of hours - but I'm not keen on that approach. One good thing about this street is that it has wide pavements, so we don't need to block the road or stop any traffic very often. [/QUOTE]
