Traffic Plans Requirements

If you are working in the road corridor for a short or long term, you are required by law to have some form of accredited traffic control in place to reduce the risk of harm.

Depending on the proximity of your work area to the road and the impact that your work may have on traffic, the Temporary Traffic Control (TTM) requirements may be a simple risk assessment and a few signs for warning of your works. Alternatively, you have a major project with more complex closures, detours, and speed reductions, for example.

To place traffic control devices on the road, you will need a Traffic Management Plan and a Traffic Guidance Scheme (also known as a Traffic Control Plan).

You will also require permission from the road owner, which is typically the local council or the state’s road manager.

You are required to consider Temporary Traffic Management controls in your construction plan if you are engaging in any activity on a public road, even if for the road owner. These activities are not limited to:

  • Road construction
  • Road maintenance
  • Asphalt paving
  • Line marking
  • Road resealing/resurfacing
  • Laying drainage pipes
  • Repairing footpaths
  • Working on overhead/underground utilities
  • Resheeting gravel roads
  • Median strip maintenance

Traffic Management and Traffic Control Plans

Our team is highly trained and utilises advanced software that enables plans to be drawn up that fit the scope of your requirements – whether the job is big or small.

As part of our service, we will provide you with:

  • Risk Assessments identifying the hazards at your work site and TTM controls to mitigate the risks;
  • Comprehensive Traffic Guidance Schemes (Traffic Control Plans); and
  • Assistance on obtaining permissions from the road owners (authorities) to get you on the road and complete your work. This is not limited to work zone permits, stand plant permits, road opening permits, footpath/road closure permits, road occupancy licences, etc.
