Traffic Management Plan Design
All TMPs (Traffic Management Plans) submitted for approval to the Local Roading Authority must be prepared by a Waka Kotahi (NZTA) Approved TTM Planner.
Currently, once a Traffic Management Plan has been designed and submitted, the Local Roading Authority will take a minimum of five working days to approve the plan.
Traffic management Plans are required if you have a workplace with a high volume of traffic, and can help you communicate how you are managing traffic risks in your workplace.
A TMP may include details of...
-
The desired flow of pedestrian and vehicle movements.
-
The expected frequency of interaction of vehicles and pedestrians.
-
Illustrations of the layout of barriers, walkways, signs and general arrangements to warn and guide traffic around, past, or through a work site or temporary hazard.
-
How short term, mobile work and complex traffic situations will be managed.
A TMP could also set out...
-
Responsibilities of people managing traffic in the workplace.
-
Responsibilities of people expected to interact with traffic in the workplace, and instructions or procedures for controlling traffic including in an emergency.
-
Traffic Management Plans (TMPs) may be simple and take a few hours to prepare, or they may take weeks to prepare in consultation with experienced Temporary Traffic Management Technicians
