This leaflet is intended to provide advice to those who may be involved in or considering providing portable pedestrian crossing facilities, whether stand-alone or at road works. The Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2002 (TSRGD) were amended in 2011 to allow the use of pedestrian facilities with portable traffic signals. Traffic Advisory Leaflet 2/11: Portable traffic signals for the control of vehicular traffic provides advice on the use of portable traffic signals to control vehicular traffic only. Much of that advice is relevant to portable pedestrian facilities, and TAL 2/112 should be read in conjunction with this leaflet. Other advice is given in: * An Introduction to the Use of Portable Vehicular Signals ('the Pink Book'), * Safety at Street Works and Road Works — A Code of Practice ('the Red Book'), *Traffic Signs Manual Chapter 8 ('Chapter 8'). The advice in this leaflet also supersedes that given in paragraph 1, page 1 of the Pink Book. For the purposes of this leaflet, road works are any works carried out primarily to improve or maintain the highway, such as resurfacing of the road. Street works are any works carried out by statutory undertakers to place or maintain apparatus such as water mains or electricity cables ('undertaker' is defined in the New Roads and Street Works Act 19916). To simplify this leaflet, both road and street works will be referred to as road works. This leaflet only considers circumstances in which works are carried out by statutory undertakers, or permitted by the traffic authority. (Author/publisher) This leaflet may be accessed by Internet
