HRS have worked closely with Highways England and its delivery partners to help facilitate the 60mph at roadworks limit trials over the past 12 months.

The resulting Variable Speed Prismatic Signs are a real breakthrough and a game changer.

They provide the best of both worlds, enabling:

60mph running when safe to do so
50mph running when there is peak site activity
40mph speed limit when there is a breakdown or other type of incident

This means that depending on traffic conditions and works activities, road users can benefit from increased speed most of the time whilst having the ability to reduce speed to adapt to the changing conditions and operational requirements. The latter provides major safety benefits to both road workers and road users, for example during peak activity or incidents (i.e. accidents and vehicle recovery).

HRS’ Variable Speed signs are easy to deploy, autonomous and proven with over 1 million hours of successful operation on a range of Smart Motorway Projects.

Providing a range of digital solutions for temporary traffic management, HRS also offer a dynamic Works Egress Warning solution which complements the Variable Speed Signs. The Works Egress Warning System warns road users via Variable Message Signs (VMS) when slow moving vehicles are about to merge from a work zone to a live lane.

M60/A5103 Princess Parkway, Yew Tree Foot Bridge

Thank you for your help. The works to the bridge were completed and great teamwork from both crews. I had a good view from the bridge and was very impressed by their work. Always said it....TM is an art form!

Please accept our thanks your team’s efforts on this project. Chevron have been brilliant, nothing has been too much to ask of you and we have delivered to programme despite the complexities of working at these junctions. Look forward to working with you in the future, I think it’s forged a good relationship between us.

Marlow Carnival 2017

Can I please express my thanks on behalf of everyone at Kier for the exceptional aptitude and attitude shown by one of your site teams who were engaged in a recent local community project. As with any town centre closure there were some ‘challenges’ thrown at the crew but their attitude and commitment to the safety of the children, parents and support groups was second to none. It’s lovely to be able to write this reference to your colleagues, please pass on my most sincere thanks.

Area 3 ASC- Emergency Narrow Lane Scheme, M27 J12

Another great success for Area 3. To turn this around in such a short space of time due to the nature of the repair and the location is a credit to you and your teams. Well done!

A404 Resurfacing

Could I say a big thank you to yourselves and to all your crews which were on site at the A404 Resurfacing scheme last night. I have spoken to the Tarmac site supervisor from the Chieveley depot this morning who was very appreciative of how helpful and how good it was to work with the crew that was on site.
