Managing Traffic Management Plans (TMPs)
Traffic Management Plans (TMPs) are essential for ensuring the safe management of traffic while work or activities are carried out in the road corridor, including roads, footpaths, or berms.
Each TMP outlines the design, implementation, maintenance, and removal of temporary traffic management (TTM) measures for a specific worksite.
TMPs are typically submitted to the same Road Controlling Authority (RCA) as the linked Worksite, but this can be changed if needed. In some cases, multiple RCAs must be included in the application.
Key Features and Benefits
Linked Worksite and TMPs: Manage multiple TMPs for a single Worksite from one place, ensuring efficient planning and tracking.
Flexibility: Submit TMPs to the appropriate RCA and add multiple RCAs when required.
Clear Workflow: Easily create, revise, and submit TMPs directly from the Worksite View, keeping all traffic management plans centralised.
Creating and Managing TMPs
Once a Project and Worksite have been created, you can start designing a TMP for the planned work. A Worksite can have multiple TMP applications, all accessible from the Traffic Management Plans panel on the Worksite View page. Here, you can view linked TMPs, add new ones, or revise existing applications.
Adding a New TMP
To add a new TMP:
Click the 'Add New TMP' button in the Traffic Management Plans panel. You will be redirected to a draft of your new TMP.
On this page, details of the parent Project and Worksite will be displayed. In the TMP Details panel, you can change the Primary RCA or add additional RCAs to your submission.
Next, click 'Add Layout' to create a new layout for the TMP.
Creating a Layout
Layouts specify when and where the work will take place, as well as its impact. Multiple layouts can be included in a single TMP for simultaneous approval.
Enter required information such as start and end dates, whether the layout will be deployed continuously (select Yes if cones remain in place over multiple days, or No if they are redeployed daily), and details on traffic impacts.
You can also upload supporting files for your application on this page.
Click 'Edit Map' to mark the work area and its impact on the map.
More detailed instructions are available by clicking 'View Instructions' on the page.
Finalising the Layout
Once all information is entered:
Click the green 'Done' button in the bottom right corner to return to the Layout page.
Review all fields, then click 'Update Layout' to save changes.
Submit the TMP by clicking the orange 'Submit TMP' button. Note that the linked Worksite application must be submitted separately for the Worksite to be processed.
Worksite Notices
Any notices issued for a Worksite (such as Work Start/Complete, Non-conformance, or Stop Work) will be displayed in the Comments, Files, and Notices section of both the Worksite and all associated TMPs.
