Checking the Site Survey

Free S1 questions: Checking the Site Survey

These questions are in the practice set above. Answer them there to see the correct option and the explanation for each.

• Scenario: reviewing a completed survey, the supervisor finds the signing, lighting and guarding plan covers the carriageway and footway but leaves the grass verge alongside untouched, on the grounds that the verge is outside the Code's scope. What must the supervisor do?
• Scenario: a survey has been drawn up applying the Code's own signing, lighting and guarding layouts to works on a dual carriageway with a 50 mph speed limit. What must the supervisor do with this survey?
• Scenario: while checking a site survey, you find that none of the Code's standard layouts fit this site's conditions with minimum impact on highway users. What should you do?
• Scenario: as supervisor, you are checking a completed site survey for planned works before work begins. The works need a temporary traffic regulation order and a licence from the highway authority. What should you confirm has taken place?
• Scenario: the site-specific risk assessment for a survey identifies that measures beyond the Code's standard layout are needed at this site. As supervisor reviewing the survey before work starts, what must you confirm?
• Scenario: reviewing a survey for a site outside a parade of shops with a large car park entrance nearby, the supervisor finds the risk assessment says nothing at all about deliveries, parking or access to those premises. What must the supervisor do?
• Scenario: a survey concludes that pedestrian access can only be maintained by a road closure or the use of pedestrian lights. What must the supervisor require for this arrangement?
• Scenario: a survey for works outside a parade of shops finds the excavation will take the full width of a 1.8 metre footway, so no route can be kept on that footway. The opposite footway is open, and a short way before the works there is a place where it is safe for people to cross the road. Which arrangement should the supervisor accept in the survey?
• Scenario: a footway site near a school was surveyed and set up during the school holidays, when pedestrian numbers were low. Term time has now begun and pedestrian patterns near the site have changed noticeably from what the original survey assumed. What should the supervisor do?
