Posted By notsothicko Are there any legal restrictions on having authorised crossing points, within the workplace on private roadways arounds the site, black and white (like a Zebra crossing) or can this type only be used on the highway.

Posted By J Knight Hi, Just to add to Alan's post; HSE's guidance on workplace transport actually states that signs and markings in workplaces should be to the same design as those on the public highway, as this helps avoid confusion. This is guidance, and not a requirement, but we for example follow it in all our grounds, John

Posted By CFT Agree with the above points; on our own few hundred acres of managed site we try to follow shapes patterns styles etc but like Alan states we have left the beacons out on ZC's but included additional lighting on adjacent lighting columns to assist during poor visibility and night use. We try also SFARP to have a similar temporary signs system when required.

Posted By Tabs "On a private site road markings and signs have no legal significance." Really Merv? I would suggest to m'lord that: They do if the person driving is an employee. As part of the arrangements to ensure safety (74 Act; Management Regs; and Welfare Regs) they become a safe system of work and Reg 7(b) & 8 of the 74 Act requires an employee to co-operate and not to misuse. The legal significance is not under a Road Traffic Act, or regulation, but under those quoted, I would argue. (politely nods, and leaves for a three week holiday before waiting for a response *grin*).
