A pioneering new product developed by Chevron Traffic Management, in partnership with our digital services provider Highways Resources Services has been named Highway Industry Product of the Year.

SMART SIGN (now known as Dynamic Speed Sign) is a revolutionary speed sign which can remotely change the speed displayed at road works using a secure internet platform. It is a product which removes the need for operatives to be present to check or change speed signs, thereby reducing risk and improving safety standards. It also improves road user experience as speeds can be increased to 60mph when there are no workers present.

Speaking following the online awards ceremony, Matt Morphet, Chief Operating Officer, Chevron TM said: “We are delighted to win this award. I believe that ‘SMART SIGN’ will change the way schemes are delivered. It improves work zone safety, the customer experience and helps increase site productivity. It ticks all the boxes but what makes it really special is its simplicity. We have looked at what is already used across the industry and what the general public are familiar with and have improved it with innovative digital technology. It’s simple, it’s effective, and it’s available.”

Described by the judging panel as “a true example of innovation and collaboration,” SMART SIGN has been used on projects including the M4, M62, M20 and M23 Smart Motorway Projects.

Roger Poeth, HRS Director, commented: “To win Highways Product of the Year is a huge achievement and is testament to the partnership between HRS and Chevron TM and our collaboration with Highways England and the wider industry with whom we engaged to ensure SMART SIGN meets the need of the industry. We initially trialled SMART SIGN on the M6 J2-4 SMP and it has since been used on a number of other highways projects. In total, Smart Signs have been operational for over one million hours on projects across our motorways network. I am honoured and proud to create an innovative product which will make such a positive impact on our industry.”

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.

Richard Moore, Traffic Management Team Manager, Kier Highways

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.
