摘要：	SwiftGate is a series of swing gates which automatically close off lanes in only minutes and saves road workers having to put out cones in the face of oncoming traffic. National Highways said SwiftGate can be fully deployed in around five minutes compared to the 25 minutes it takes road workers to put out the taper of cones directing often fast-moving traffic away from a live lane. The A3 Hindhead Tunnel in county Surrey requires regular closures for essential maintenance work. During 201 9 there were 14 vehicle incursions into these roadworks putting the lives of workers at risk. The trial on the north and southbound carriageways of the tunnel is being set up with cooperation between National Highways and its maintenance contractors Kier and Highway Care. The gates clearly and safely filter traffic out of the traffic lane. Cones can then be put out beyond the taper to clearly mark out the closed-off lane. As well as avoiding the need for workers to manually set out tapers, the arms are a strong visual deterrent which will help avoid incursions, particularly at night-time.
