County Highways are responsible for authorising the use of multiphase temporary signals on the highway and requests for authorisation for two-way temporary signals.
All applicants should contact County Highways on 01926 412515 or email countyhighways@warwickshire.gov.uk
Opening notices (where no utility plant is being installed) are obtained from the County Area Offices on 01926 412515, where plant is being installed or repaired please call the Street Works Team on 01926 736540.
The County Council implements a standard charge of £450 for the work associated with the authorisation of multiphase temporary signals. Please give at least three weeks notice of the requirement for the use of temporary signals.The fee covers the following work carried out by this Department: |
 | | |
|
initial site visit to ensure signals are feasible and assess siting of the signal heads
consultation with Agent Authorities
check plan(s) to ensure that working area is kept to a minimum
check all red timings and sequence of lights
check traffic management proposals
establish traffic flow at the site
make recommendations on timings / traffic management
site visit(s) during the works if required. |
The Authority decided to have a fixed standard charge instead of a variable charge depending on the scheme. The reason for this was that the Contractor would be aware of the actual cost when requesting for the authorisation of the temporary signals. It is accepted, therefore, that at some times the Authority will make a loss and at other times a profit.
The fee can be reduced to £275 provided that 14 days notice is given and a 1:500 scale plan is provided detailing the works area, position of signal heads, controller position, cables across the carriageway, details of the proposed temporary signs and signal timings.
