Site traffic management
Traffic marshals
Trained traffic marshals and banksmen who keep vehicles and people moving safely — directing HGVs and plant, guiding reversing manoeuvres and controlling site entrances across construction sites and events UK-wide.
What they do
Vehicles and people, kept apart and moving
Traffic marshals — also known as banksmen — manage the movement of vehicles and pedestrians on and around your site. They direct traffic, guide drivers through tight or blind manoeuvres, and keep people on foot clear of moving plant, where most site transport accidents happen.
On a busy construction site or event, a marshal at the gate makes the difference between controlled access and gridlock. Ours are trained to manage entrances and exits, signal safely, and keep deliveries flowing without disrupting the wider site or surrounding roads.

Busy access roads & loading
Managing loading bays and shared access points where vehicles and pedestrians regularly cross.
Accountable cover
Part of your wider site team
Our traffic marshals don't work in isolation — they coordinate with our wider on-site security and guarding team, so access control and traffic management work as one. Shifts and incidents are logged in the TechGuard app, giving you a timestamped record of who was on the gate and what happened during the day.
Traffic marshal FAQs
Are your traffic marshals trained and CSCS carded?
Yes. Our marshals are trained in traffic management and banksman duties, including safe signalling and reversing assistance. Many also hold a CSCS card where it is required for working on a construction site.
Can you provide traffic marshals for events?
Yes. We marshal car parks, access roads and pedestrian routes for events and festivals, keeping vehicle and foot traffic moving safely and reducing congestion at peak arrival and departure times.
Do you cover both vehicle and pedestrian management?
Yes. Our marshals manage the interface between moving vehicles and people on foot — directing HGVs and plant, controlling site entrances and exits, and keeping pedestrians clear of vehicle movements to prevent accidents.
How quickly can traffic marshals be deployed?
Depending on the location, we can often provide marshals at short notice, and our 24/7 operations team can scale cover up or down the same day as your site or event schedule changes.
Need marshals on the gate?
Tell us about your site or event, the hours and the traffic you expect. Our operations team responds the same day with a tailored marshalling plan.
