Road Traffic Safety Equipment: What Your Worksite Needs for Traffic Control

LTA-compliant traffic cone, red and white, for road works and construction sites in Singapore
What traffic cones, barriers and signage does your worksite actually need under LTA’s Code of Practice for Traffic Control? A practical rundown for site supervisors in Singapore.

If your site borders a road or your works affect traffic, you’ll need the right equipment for traffic control, not just because it’s expected, but because it’s what keeps workers and drivers safe around an active site.

Work affecting a public street in Singapore generally needs to follow LTA’s Code of Practice for Traffic Control at Work Zone. It’s a detailed technical document, worth checking directly if you’re the one signing off on a site’s traffic control plan, we won’t try to summarise the specifics here.

Here’s what we can help supply:

Traffic Cones

There are two heights available, 70cm and 90cm, but 70cm is what’s typically used on Singapore roadworks sites. At 1.7kg, it has a stable base that holds up well in windy conditions. See our LTA Traffic Cone range, the 90cm option is also available where extra height and visibility is useful.

Warning Tape and Signage

Warning tape cordons off hazards and keeps pedestrians clear of an active work zone, while signage gives drivers and passers-by clear notice of what’s ahead. Both are simple, low-cost additions that make a real difference in keeping a site visible and safe.

Warning Lights and Safety Disks

The Job Master Solar LED Warning Light is typically mounted higher up on a safety pole, so drivers of larger vehicles can spot the work zone from further away. Reflective safety discs are a simple add-on for extra visibility on cones, barriers or signage after dark.

Barricades

For sites that need a physical barrier rather than just a visual marker, our safety barricade poles offer a straightforward way to cordon off a work zone or restrict access.

If your site changes shape as work progresses, it’s worth keeping a bit of spare stock rather than ordering the exact count each time. A few extra cones or a spare barricade pole is cheaper than a delayed delivery holding up a shift.

We’ve supplied hardware to Singapore’s construction and metalworks industries since 2001. Bulk pricing for larger jobs, same-day delivery when ordered in the morning.
