What is a traffic operative?

Traffic Operatives are professionals responsible for setting up, maintaining, and removing temporary traffic management systems on roads, such as signs, cones, and barriers. Their main role is to ensure the safety of both road users and workers during roadworks or events that impact traffic flow. They follow strict health and safety regulations, often working in all weather conditions and at various hours. Traffic Operatives also monitor traffic conditions and provide clear directions to minimize disruptions and keep traffic moving smoothly.
