Traffic Management Plans

Traffic Management Plans are detailed documents that manage project site plant and vehicle movement risks. They include considerations like traffic volume analysis, hazard assessments, noise impacts, and environmental factors.

TMPs are required for long-term, complex projects impacting the road network, utility works, and construction. Local councils mandate TMPs prior to granting Construction Certificates/Permits making it important to get right when your looking to get a new project off the ground. 

With several years experience in industry ASK Traffic Plans can help deliver a high quality compliant traffic management plan for your needs.

From temporary road closures to lane shifts and detours, Traffic Management Plans provide a roadmap for managing traffic around specific areas or events. By carefully planning and implementing these strategies, we can help everyone get where they need to go with as little hassle as possible.

At our traffic management services in Melbourne, we go above and beyond to provide comprehensive and customised solutions. Here's what sets us apart:

Extensive Site Scoping:

Our team conducts thorough site scoping to ensure that every construction Traffic Management Plan (TMP) we develop provides a comprehensive overview of all relevant site considerations. This includes hazard assessments, traffic volume analysis, environmental considerations, and noise pollution assessment. We leave no stone unturned to ensure that our TMPs are tailored to your project's specific needs.

Bespoke Traffic Guidance Scheme (TGS):

We understand the importance of a well-designed and effective Traffic Guidance Scheme (TGS) in managing traffic flow on your project site. That's why our TMPs include a bespoke TGS designed to suit your project's requirements. Our TGS provides clear and concise guidance for road users, ensuring smooth and safe traffic management.

Permit Process Management:

We handle the permit process on your behalf, dealing with the relevant Road Authority. This saves you time and effort, allowing you to focus on your project's core activities. 

Full regulatory compliance:

Our in-depth understanding of council and state road authority requirements ensures that our TMPs have a high approval rate. We offer unlimited revisions during the approval process to ensure your TMP meets all the necessary criteria. 

Commitment to Quality:

We take pride in delivering high-quality TMPs that prioritise safety, efficiency, and compliance. Our team of experts follow best practices, use the latest technology, and stay up-to-date with industry regulations to ensure that our TMPs meet the highest standards.

A Traffic Management Plan (TMP) is a strategic document that helps governing bodies, such as State Roads Authorities (Vicroads) or Local Councils, assess and mitigate the impacts of construction works or events on the transport network. 

It outlines measures to control risks and ensure the safety of workers and road users, providing a comprehensive road-map for traffic management during the project or event. 

The primary objective of a TMP is to ensure public safety and keep traffic moving in and around the project site. The plan considers road closures, detours, signage requirements, speed limits, pedestrian pathways, and parking restrictions.

Factors to consider when preparing a Traffic Management Plan include 

• The size of the event or worksite and its location; 
• Number of lanes that need to remain open during work hours; 
• Detours around blocked areas; 
• Strategies for managing pedestrians crossing streets used by vehicles; 
• Emergency services access routes; 
• Accessible alternative modes of transportation for people who normally use vehicles; 
• Parking arrangements such as paid parking meters if needed.

At ASK Traffic Plans, we go beyond the ordinary when compiling Traffic Control Plans. 

Our meticulous approach involves the following:

• An in-depth analysis of the existing road network.
• Identifying hazards.
• Proposing risk controls.
• Summarising expected outcomes and constraints on the surrounding transport network. 

Our expert recommendations ensure that the proposed works progress harmoniously with the surrounding area and pedestrians, mitigating impacts and optimising traffic flow.

Why do you need a Traffic Management Plan?

A Traffic Management Plan (TMP) is essential for any construction work or event that impacts the road network. Here are some key reasons why you need a TMP:

State Road Authority Compliance: TMPs must be submitted to State road authorities like Vic Roads, TrNSW, and others as part of the permit application process. 

Complex Roadworks: TMPs are especially relevant for complex and long-term roadworks, where a governing document is necessary to maintain consistency in hazard identification and risk control. 

Safety of workers and road users: A TMP outlines measures to control risks associated with traffic control, ensuring the safeness of workers and road users. It identifies potential hazards, proposes risk controls, and outlines procedures to minimise accidents, injuries, and incidents.

Efficient traffic flow: A well-designed TMP considers the impact of construction works or events on traffic flow and proposes strategies to minimise disruptions. 

Stakeholder communication: A TMP helps you communicate effectively with stakeholders, including road authorities, local communities, and other relevant parties. It provides a clear and comprehensive overview of the planned works and the measures taken to mitigate impacts.

Project management and coordination: A TMP is a roadmap for managing traffic-related aspects of a construction project or event. It helps coordinate different activities, resources, and stakeholders involved in traffic management.

The cost of a Traffic Management Plan (TMP) can vary depending on various factors, such as the size and complexity of the projects, the number of Traffic Guidance Schemes (TGS) required, and other specific project requirements.  

We provide flat rate Traffic Plans  at $150.00 + GST for clients in Victoria and can also make custom quotes depending on the needs of your project.
