Traffic Consultancy Insurance UK

Traffic consultancy insurance is designed for traffic consultants, transport planning advisers, highways consultants and road safety specialists whose reports and recommendations can influence planning applications, access design, traffic flows, parking, junction layouts, construction logistics and public-realm decisions. Professional indemnity is usually the central cover, supported by public liability, cyber and equipment protection where required.

• Consultants preparing traffic assessments, transport statements or access reports

• Employers' liability where staff, assistants, surveyors, trainees or supervised workers are employed

Typical Traffic Consultancy Risks

Professional Indemnity for Traffic and Transport Advice

Professional indemnity can help where a client alleges your traffic consultancy work caused financial loss. Insurers will usually want to understand your services, project types, development values, survey methods, modelling exposure, report wording, contract terms, quality controls and previous claims history.

Surveys, Site Visits and Technical Data

Traffic consultants often work with site observations, transport data, vehicle counts, planning documents, CAD drawings, modelling outputs and confidential development information. Public liability, equipment cover and cyber insurance can sit alongside professional indemnity where consultancy work depends on site attendance, reliable survey records and secure client files.
