A Traffic Management Plan, or TMP, is an essential tool used to make sure vehicles and pedestrians can still safely move around in areas where the flow of traffic is disrupted. For example, if a construction project is happening and needs to block a road, then a plan will be set in place to manage traffic. A TMP may be necessary for public events, roadworks or any scenario where road use needs to be changed.
A well-structured Traffic Management Plan can minimise risks and ensure smooth traffic flow while roads are obstructed, helping everyone involved stay safe.
Our team at Coordinate knows that every case is unique, so we work hard to create and implement tailored Traffic Management Plans that meet the unique needs of your team, public authorities and the public. With a good plan, we can promote safety and reduce delays.
The Importance Of A Good Traffic Management Plan
Effective traffic management is about more than just putting up signs – it’s about creating a strategic, well-thought-out plan that addresses all potential risks. A TMP can be the difference between a smooth-running project and one that’s filled with angry drivers and delays.
- Safety For Everyone Involved. Workers, pedestrians and drivers can stay safe with a proper Traffic Management Plan. TMPs significantly reduce the risk of accidents and injuries for everyone.
- Compliance With Regulations. Local authorities often require TMPs for certain kinds of projects. It’s very important to understand whether or not your work requires a Traffic Management Plan before you begin work.
- Minimising Disruptions. A properly executed TMP helps keep traffic flowing smoothly, reducing the impact of construction or events on public roads. With fewer distractions, your workers can continue with ease.
Developing Comprehensive Traffic Management Plans
At Coordinate, we’re happy to help develop a great Traffic Management Plan that works for you. Our team of professionals is dedicated to safety, and we can help with the following:
- Risk Assessments. We start with a thorough risk assessment of your project to identify any potential traffic hazards. With this information, we’ll be better prepared to plan for the future.
- Design And Implementation Of Traffic Control Measures. We will then design a TMP that fits the specific requirements of your project. We will discuss what kind of traffic control methods we can use, such as cones and barriers.
- Strategic Signage Placement. Clear signage is key for guiding drivers and pedestrians through or around your site. We will ensure that signs are placed appropriately so that everyone can move safely.
- Delineation Of Safe Zones. We will establish clear safe zones that separate work areas from public areas. This way, people can stay in the right places without putting themselves in danger.
- Coordination With Local Authorities. Speaking with local NZ authorities is a must. We’ll stay in touch with local councils and communicate on your behalf.
