- 2.1
- Driver of a TMA vehicle
- Step 1
- The levels below, for the road work itself
- Exam
- The certification exam is taken at Trafikverket
Mobile and intermittent operations — road marking, sweeping, inspection and short stops that move along — cannot be protected by a fixed closure. A vehicle travels with the work instead. How well it protects is decided entirely by where it stands, and it is the driver who decides that.
What the level is about
- The requirements on road maintenance vehicles and how they are to be marked.
- What the attenuator does with the kinetic energy, and what it does not do.
- Positioning and buffer distance, and why the distance changes with speed and gradient.
- Mobile and intermittent operations: moving the protection without leaving the work unprotected meanwhile.
- The interplay with the signing ahead, so an approaching driver sees one coherent picture.
You need both the licence and the level
2.1 is about what the driver has to be able to judge, not about the entitlement to drive the vehicle. Whoever drives a TMA still needs the right licence for it, and also needs the step 1 levels for the work they perform while the vehicle is stationary. Three separate things that happen to sit on the same person.
Common questions
- Does everyone who ever moves the TMA vehicle need 2.1?
- The level applies to whoever drives the vehicle in its function as protection. Moving it around a yard is not the same as placing it behind work in progress. Start from the task: whoever decides where the protection stands is the one who needs to be able to judge it.
- Is the course enough to meet the requirement?
- No. 2.1 requires a passed certification exam at Trafikverket. The course prepares you for the exam and covers what you need to know; the exam is booked and taken at Trafikverket.
- We hire in a TMA with a driver. What do we need to do?
- Ask for the driver's records and put them in your summary. Responsibility for the site being protected remains yours even when the vehicle and the driver are someone else's.
Book the exam at the same time as the course
The course can be taken whenever. Exam slots at Trafikverket are harder to come by at short notice, so book one as soon as you know the role is needed.
