Traffic Diversion Junction Marshal Coordination Checklist Dubai

Temporary diversions can create new turning movements and congestion at junctions. Where marshals are used, their positions and communication should be coordinated so they support the diversion without giving conflicting instructions.

HMJ Contracting supports traffic diversion services in Dubai with route planning, signs and implementation.

1. Identify Critical Junctions

List the junctions where diverted traffic merges, turns or crosses other movements.

2. Define Marshal Positions

Each marshal should have a clear location and defined responsibility.

3. Confirm Communication

Use an agreed radio channel or communication method between marshals and the site supervisor.

4. Review Turning Movements

Pay particular attention to large vehicles and tight turning areas.

5. Protect Pedestrian Crossings

Marshals should understand where pedestrians cross the temporary traffic flow.

6. Monitor Queues

Record queue growth and notify the supervisor when predefined triggers are reached.

7. Avoid Conflicting Instructions

Only authorised personnel should direct traffic, and instructions should match the approved diversion arrangement.

8. Manage Access Points

Coordinate nearby construction gates, business entrances and service roads.

9. Define Escalation

Make sure marshals know who to contact if a junction becomes blocked or unsafe.

10. Review at Shift Change

Repeat the briefing when marshal teams change.

A coordinated marshal plan helps keep junction behaviour predictable during temporary diversions.
