Magnetic Traffic Management Plan Board Kit - 71 Site Symbols and 4 Pens Included
Magnetic traffic management plan board kits put a site’s vehicle routes, pedestrian crossings and facilities on one map at the entrance or signing-in point. Each board is a rigid, frameless galvanised steel composite panel with a magnetic dry wipe face and a printed map area and key. Routes go on in dry wipe pen and facilities are marked with magnetic symbols, so the plan can change as the site does.
How a Magnetic Plan Keeps Site Traffic Routes Up to Date
A printed traffic management plan goes out of date as soon as a haul road moves, a compound shifts or a new phase opens. Drivers and visitors are then briefed on routes that no longer exist, and pedestrians can end up walking where plant now works. On this board the site team wipes off the old route, redraws it and moves the symbols, so the plan on the wall matches the site on the day.
Key Features
- 71 magnetic site symbols: cover one way and two way traffic, speed limits, crossings and no entry points, plus excavators, dump trucks and work areas for groundworkers, bricklayers, and roads and sweeper operatives.
- Free printed site plan and logo: your site layout, site name and logo are printed onto the board, so the symbols sit on an accurate map rather than a hand sketch.
- Galvanised steel composite face: gives a rigid panel that stays flat on the wall and holds the magnetic symbols in place for long-term display.
- Dry wipe surface: routes, exclusion zones and notes can be drawn, wiped and redrawn as the site changes.
- Printed key / legend: the blank key beside the map lets the site team explain each symbol and pen colour used on that site.
- Frameless panel with hidden mounting points: fixes flat to a cabin, office or gatehouse wall with no fixings on show.
- Two board sizes: a compact board for cabin walls and smaller sites, and a larger board with room for multi-phase sites, access gates and compounds.

Typical Users and Projects
Site managers and principal contractors use these kits on housing developments, commercial schemes, civil engineering compounds and refurbishment projects. The board usually hangs in the site office, welfare cabin or gatehouse, where deliveries and visitors sign in. No specialist skills are needed, so the site manager or logistics lead can keep it updated at each change.
Typical applications
- Showing delivery drivers the one way haul route, site speed limit and pedestrian crossing points at the signing-in point.
- Briefing new starters and visitors on site routes and no-go areas during site induction.
- Marking the fire assembly point, fire equipment points and first aid points for emergency planning.
- Marking the spill kit, refuelling area and waste recycling area as part of the site’s environmental controls.
- Planning crane lifting areas, silo positions and plant working zones as each phase starts.
- Showing separate routes for delivery lorries, site vehicles and pedestrians across several phases.
- Moving material storage and delivery areas on the plan when a new plot or phase starts.
How to use
Step 1: Choose the board size using the Size Selection table, and send your logo and site plan as vector files for printing.
Step 2: Pick a wall at the site entrance, signing-in point or site office where everyone arriving will see the board.
Step 3: Check the wall for hidden cables and pipes, then fix the board through the hidden mounting points with the screws and wall plugs provided. Use two people to hold the larger board level.
Step 4: Draw vehicle routes, pedestrian routes and exclusion zones on the map area with the dry wipe pens.
Step 5: Place the magnetic symbols to mark crossings, speed limits, facilities, plant and work areas.
Step 6: Fill in the key so each symbol and pen colour has a clear meaning on your site.
Step 7: Update the board whenever routes or work areas change, and record the same change in the written traffic management plan.
Common mistakes
- Using permanent markers, which stain the dry wipe surface.
- Leaving the board unchanged after routes, compounds or phases have moved.
- Fixing the board where drivers and visitors do not pass, such as inside a closed office.
- Leaving spare symbols loose instead of keeping them in the storage box, so they go missing.
- Updating the board but not the written plan, so the two no longer match.
Safety
The board displays the site’s traffic management arrangements, but the written plan and risk assessment remain the controlling documents. Check for hidden cables and pipes before drilling the wall, and handle the larger board with two people. Keep routes current, because an out-of-date plan can direct pedestrians into active plant areas. Follow HSE guidance HSG144 on vehicles on construction sites when planning the routes shown.
Maintenance
Wipe the board clean with a dry cloth or whiteboard cleaner, and avoid leaving pen marks on for long periods. Keep spare symbols and pens in the storage box with the lid clipped shut. Check the wall fixings during routine site inspections.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a traffic management plan board kit used for?
A: It shows the site’s vehicle routes, pedestrian routes, crossing points and key facilities on one map. Drivers, visitors and new starters can check the current layout before they move around the site. The site team draws routes in dry wipe pen and marks facilities with magnetic symbols, then updates both as the site changes.
Q: What do 900mm x 600mm and 1200mm x 900mm mean on a traffic management plan board?
A: The first number is the board width and the second number is the height. The 900mm x 600mm board suits smaller sites and cabin walls where space is limited. The 1200mm x 900mm board gives more room for sites with several phases, access points and compounds.
Q: Does this board make my site compliant with traffic management rules?
A: The board is a display tool, and no standard or approval is stated for it. CDM 2015 requires construction sites to be organised so that pedestrians and vehicles can move safely, so far as is reasonably practicable. The routes on the board should come from your written traffic management plan and risk assessment. HSE guidance HSG144 covers planning safe vehicle and pedestrian routes on construction sites.
Q: What is the board not suitable for?
A: It is not designed for freestanding use, or for signing works on the public highway under Chapter 8. It does not replace the written traffic management plan or physical controls such as barriers, signs and marked walkways. Do not use permanent markers, as they can stain the dry wipe surface.
Q: Why choose this kit over a printed site plan or a plain whiteboard?
A: A printed plan is fixed on the day it is made, while routes, compounds and work areas keep moving. A plain whiteboard needs every route, facility and key drawn by hand. This kit arrives with your site plan, logo and key printed on, plus 71 magnetic symbols made for site traffic and work areas. The team only adds the live information and moves it as the site changes.
Q: Can the board be used outdoors?
A: The board can be used indoors and outdoors, but indoor use is recommended. Where possible, mount it in a site office, welfare cabin or covered gatehouse.
Q: Can we get extra symbols or a different board size?
A: The kit includes 71 magnetic symbols, with the full list in the Specifications tab. Bespoke symbol sets can be made on request for extra phases, plant or site-specific areas. Other board sizes are also available on request.
Q: How do I clean the board and stop pen marks ghosting?
A: Use dry wipe pens only, and wipe marks off with a dry cloth or whiteboard cleaner. Avoid leaving the same marks on the board for long periods. Take the magnetic symbols off before cleaning and put them back once the surface is dry.
Q: Can you print our logo and site plan on the board?
A: Logo, site name and site plan printing is included at no extra cost. Each board is made by our in-house signage team through the BrandIT bespoke branding service, which also prints matching road signs, safety signs and site boards. Please send your logo and site plan as vector files, such as AI, EPS, SVG or vector PDF. Screenshots and low-resolution images can print blurred at board size, so the finished board may not match what you expect. Send your files to sales@cmt.co.uk or call 020 8311 1144 at CMT Group.
Q: Can we order site boards for each project through one account?
A: The free EDGE procurement portal lets you set budgets, delivery addresses and users for each project. Teams can track deliveries and keep project documents in one searchable place. Punchout, EDI and API integration connect EDGE to your own purchasing system. Find it at cmt.co.uk/edge or in the CMT EDGE App.
