Traffic Diversion Peak-Hour Monitoring Log Dubai

A traffic diversion may operate smoothly during low traffic periods but behave differently during peak hours. Monitoring the live route during busy periods helps the project team identify congestion, access conflicts and confusing traffic movements.

HMJ Contracting supports traffic diversion services in Dubai with drawings, signage and implementation support.

1. Define the Monitoring Period

Select the relevant morning, afternoon or evening period based on the project location and traffic conditions.

2. Record Queue Locations

Note where queues form and whether they block:

• Junctions
• Property access
• Construction gates
• Pedestrian crossings
• Upstream lanes

3. Observe Turning Movements

Check whether redirected traffic can turn safely and without excessive delay.

4. Review Junction Performance

Identify any junction where the diversion creates repeated congestion.

5. Check Business and Property Access

Record complaints or conflicts caused by diverted traffic at entrances and service roads.

6. Observe Pedestrian Behaviour

Pedestrians may create informal routes if the temporary arrangement is unclear.

7. Record Driver Confusion

Look for sudden braking, missed turns, U-turns or vehicles ignoring the diversion.

8. Assign Corrective Actions

Possible actions may include:

• Sign adjustment
• Additional direction signs
• Barrier repositioning
• Marshal support
• Access management
• Route review

9. Repeat After Changes

If the layout is adjusted, monitor the next peak period to confirm improvement.

A peak-hour monitoring log provides practical evidence of how the diversion performs under real traffic demand.
