Roadworker safety and wellbeing have always been major concerns within the industry. This has worsened with incidents of abuse and aggression on the rise over the recent years.

Coeval, a leading provider of cutting-edge traffic control solutions, is committed to addressing the problem head-on as they recognise the importance of this issue.

Coeval have, amongst other things, actively participated in events such as the ‘Stamp it Out’ summit at the House of Lords. This is a clear demonstration of their dedication to roadworker safety and the vital role that technology plays in encouraging a safer working environment.

Taking a Stand Against Roadworker Abuse…

Coeval believes that every roadworker deserves a safe and respectful working environment. The company understands the significance of the problem and stand firmly against any form of mistreatment towards all roadworkers. They strongly believe that every worker has the right to go home safe and healthy every day, free from harassment and aggression.

Coeval at Stamp it Out

‘Stamp it Out’ is an industry-wide project to help tackle the problem of roadworker abuse. It aims to do this with three main strategies;

Enforcement – to amend the law to ensure highway workers are permanently recognised as key workers.
Education – to improve the public perception of road workers through a series of targeted media campaigns.
Reporting – to make incident reporting simpler with data collected on where, when and what has occurred.

By joining forces with industry leaders, policymakers, and advocacy groups, Coeval actively contributed to the dialogue surrounding roadworker safety and helped drive initiatives aimed at eradicating abuse from our roads.

Utilising Technology

One way Coeval contributes to improving roadworker safety is through its innovative product range.

Using advanced technology and intelligent solutions, Coeval’s products enable road users to stay better informed about delays and disruptions. Ultimately contributing to managing driver temperament and reducing incidents of aggression.

Coeval’s range of products include variable message signs, a key solution for delivering information to drivers in real time. These solutions enable timely communication of important information to road users including delays, diversions, and changes in traffic flow.

By providing accurate and up-to-date information, Coeval’s products empower drivers to plan their journeys effectively and make informed decisions. This will reduce frustration and prevent the element of surprise that can lead to abusive behaviour.

Promoting Empathy and Road User Awareness

Coeval contributes towards creating a sense of understanding and respect between road users and roadworkers. This is by utilising their technology to improve communication and keeping drivers informed throughout the process.

Real-time updates and alternative route suggestions can be displayed to drivers, minimising the impact of roadworks on travel plans. This ensures smoother journeys through a collaborative approach, where drivers play their role in mitigating delays and supporting the well-being of roadworkers.
