How long is considered long-term stationary work?

In the context of Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) planning, long-term stationary work is typically classified as activities that last for an extended duration, allowing for advanced planning and implementation of traffic control measures. The designation of three days as long-term stationary work aligns with industry standards, where projects extending beyond this timeframe require more comprehensive traffic handling strategies to ensure both safety and efficiency.

Work activities lasting one day are usually considered short-term and often utilize more temporary traffic control devices. While five days or one week could also indicate longer durations, three days strikes a balance where the nature of work transitions from short-term to long-term, necessitating more substantial traffic management considerations such as detours, prolonged signage, and public notifications to minimize disruptions and maintain safety for both workers and road users.
