What is the traffic management plan?
A traffic plan is a site-specific plan which covers the implementation, design, maintenance as well as removal of the temporary traffic management measures when work and activity are done on the road corridor (footpath, road, and berm). This plan details how the road users including motor vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians are directed around the worksite, accident and other temporary disruption, to reduce any inconvenience. All while maintaining safe conditions for road users and those carrying out the certain activity.
Any TMP should comply with the Code of the Practice for Temporary Traffic Management. To get more details about code, you need to visit the Evolve Professional Services website now and get in touch with their professionals.
When is a traffic management plan required?
When working near an NZ road you will be required to submit a Traffic Management Plan. This includes working on a driveway, construction site, filming, events or general road closures.
For instance, if work can prevent:
- Normal pedestrian access all along the footpath.
- Normal use of the vehicle driving and parking lane.
Corridor Access Requests should be accompanied by a traffic plan.
The TMP is at times needed for the activities done on the private property in case vehicle access is required for the long time frame, eg. at the building site. The TMP should get approved by AT prior to you start any kind of activity.
Emergency works
The emergency works are totally unplanned and should be done without any kind of delay in order to prevent the loss of life, damage to the property and injury. The emergency works do not relate to the Police and Fire Service callouts however are done by the utility operators and AT for repairing the utility and service that affects many people and businesses, for example.
- Fallen power lines and electrical faults.
- Gas leaks (Fire and Police Service are generally involved).
- Telecommunications failures.
- Burst and damaged water mains.
The temporary traffic plan is a method to manage the vehicles or pedestrians through, around and past the activity or any event on the road and road reserve securely with very minimum inconvenience. The Traffic Plan describes the proposed works, set up, design, or removal of any kind of activity being done on the road and within the road reserve. Any kind of work that alters the normal operating situation of the road and within the road reserve. Any kind of work that alters the normal operating situation of the road and road reserve needs the TMP. The examples will include:
- Events (these might need the temporary road closures)
- Obstruction of the footpaths like for the signwriting, painting, scaffolding, and more.
- Excavating the footpath or road
Traffic management for events
All the events on the road and road reserve normally need the traffic management plan. There are some events that also need a temporary closure application. The event organisers are liable for providing traffic management at the event. Suppose you don’t have any necessary qualification over how to manage the traffic safely (traffic controller, and sit traffic supervisor) you should engage the professional traffic management company for developing the traffic plan.
