Traffic Diversion Emergency Change Procedure Dubai

Traffic diversions are planned in advance, but site conditions can change unexpectedly because of incidents, access problems, damaged equipment or urgent work requirements. A controlled change process helps the project team respond without creating conflicting traffic instructions.

1. Identify the Reason for the Change

Record what has changed and why the approved arrangement can no longer be followed exactly.

2. Protect the Immediate Area

Before changing the route, make sure the current work zone remains safe for road users, workers and pedestrians.

3. Confirm Who Can Authorise the Change

The site team should know who is responsible for approving or escalating emergency changes. Avoid informal changes that are not communicated to the responsible project parties.

4. Review Signs and Route Continuity

Any change should be checked against:

• Advance warning signs
• Directional signs
• Barrier positions
• Access points
• Pedestrian routes
• Emergency access

5. Brief the Site Team

Make sure supervisors, traffic marshals, operators and affected contractors understand the revised arrangement before it goes live.

6. Document the Temporary Change

Record the reason, time, photographs, responsible person and any follow-up action required.
