Construction sites are busy, high-risk environments where workers, vehicles, and the public often move in close proximity. Managing this flow of traffic safely isn’t just best practice—it’s essential to meeting compliance standards, protecting workers, and keeping projects on schedule. Choosing the right traffic management products ensures that everyone knows where they should (and shouldn’t) be, while also reducing the risk of costly accidents.

With a reputation for quality products, fast delivery, and expert support, Pittman is proud to be the partner construction companies rely on to create safer, better-managed sites.
Below are the key traffic management products every construction site should consider:
Speed bumps are crucial in controlling vehicle speeds around site entrances, car parks, and pedestrian-heavy areas. They provide a clear physical deterrent to speeding, reducing the chance of accidents involving workers or equipment.
Recommended use: Place speed bumps at all access points, loading bays, and near pedestrian crossings.
Wheel stops help manage vehicle positioning, ensuring cars, vans, or site vehicles park safely without rolling into restricted areas. They are particularly useful in temporary site parking zones or when space is tight.
Recommended use: Install in designated staff and visitor parking areas, and around sensitive infrastructure.
Bollards act as protective barriers, preventing unauthorized vehicle entry and safeguarding high-risk zones such as pedestrian walkways or building perimeters. Depending on the site, you can choose between fixed, removable, or fold-down bollards.
Recommended use: Place bollards at site entrances, around temporary offices, or in areas where heavy equipment is stored.
Barriers such as the JSP Navigator Barrier are essential for sectioning off hazardous areas, guiding traffic, or protecting road users near construction works. Compliance with Chapter 8 regulations ensures that the barriers meet safety standards for visibility and durability.
Recommended use: Use safety barriers along perimeters, to cordon off excavations, or to guide pedestrian traffic safely around works.
