• managing temporary and permanent traffic management arrangements
• liaising with the Highways Agency, Statutory, Public Transport Providers, Undertakers and other Interested Parties
• resolving issues affecting disabled users, pedestrians, businesses, public transport and taking into account access issues
• managing and maintaining the provision of traffic regulation orders

The Traffic Manager and their team work closely with Kier Highways who provide the highway maintenance and management services in Birmingham. This includes Birmingham’s Urban Traffic Control.
