I've just had a go at doing a traffic management plan. Its not straight forward as it is on a public highway. Anybody else care to let me see anotyer example? Mine is for scaffolding to go in the road.

you need to be chapter '8' competent to organise such traffic management activities!
additionally you need local local council permissions to put a scaffold on the public footpath etc
I advise that if neither of the points above are in your regular competence area get suitable advice

Totally agree with Bob. This needs a trained person to do it as it is a formal legal requirement for such a person. The LA may be pleased to help you set the layout but you cannot put it into effect without the trained person in any case. Let the traffic management contractor do it they are far quicker and generally more accurate in meeting the requirements for signing and guarding.

Don't do it unless you have been specifically trained as well. You can sign on for the signing and guarding module with an approved trainer. The CITB, as was, provide this through their provider network.
Although I did the training a few years ago I am a bit rusty as I do not do it often enough to fix the detail. I have to refer back to the old chapter 8 bible. LAs often make some provisos and comments in the light of theior local knowledge as well. For the untrained person imagining that you are a driver going through the works and seeing if you can clearly understand what you are to do is sometimes beneficial in assessingb the scheme.

Dont assume that you need to be familiar with Chapter 8, it is more likely that the document you need to refer to is "Safety at Street Works and Road Works - A Code of Practice" - The Red Book.
The red book is generally used on all local authority roads and chapter 8 on all Highways Agency Roads. Unless you will be working on the trunk road network or a high speed road it is very unlikely that chapter 8 will apply and the good news is that if it is indeed the red book then this is very simple to understand and use.
Good Luck
