What is a Traffic Management Plan?

A Traffic Management Plan (TMP) is a critically vital document designed to maintain the safety of workers, pedestrians, and drivers in areas where roadworks, construction, or events impact normal traffic flow. TMPs are vitally useful for reducing risks, keeping up efficiency, and complying with legal and safety standards.

This article clarifies what a Traffic Management Plan entails, its value, and how it applies to various projects, including links to key resources for further guidance.

What Does a Traffic Management Plan Include?

A comprehensive Traffic Management Plan typically outlines:

  1. Project Scope: Details of the project and its impact on nearby traffic and other vehicles
  2. Risk Assessments: Identification of potential hazards and mitigating their risk.
  3. Traffic Control Measures: Placement of equipment, furniture, signs, barriers, and traffic control workers.
  4. Responsibilities: Roles of personnel and their responsibility managing traffic operations.
  5. Emergency Procedures: Steps to handle accidents or unexpected incidents.
  6. Communication Plan: How updates will be communicated to all stakeholders.

For a deeper understanding of the components and requirements, consult the Traffic Management Plan Information Guidelines by the Queensland Police.

Why Are Traffic Management Plans Important?

  1. Safety: Considers the safety of workers and the public by identifying and minimising risks.
  2. Compliance: Meets legal requirements outlined in Australian workplace safety regulations.
  3. Efficiency: Helps in organising and maintaining smooth traffic flow, reducing delays.
  4. Preparedness: Addresses emergency scenarios and ensures quick response actions.

Safe Work Australia’s Traffic Management General Guide provides valuable insights into managing traffic effectively.

Who Needs a Traffic Management Plan?

TMPs are required for any project or event that disrupts regular traffic patterns, such as:

  • Roadworks or construction sites.
  • Public events like festivals or parades.
  • Large scale maintenance operations.

Workplaces that involve significant onsite vehicle movement also need to consider traffic management plans. For an internal assessment, you can refer to the Onsite Traffic Management Self-Assessment Tool by WorkSafe Queensland.

How to Develop a Traffic Management Plan

Developing an effective TMP involves:

  1. Understanding the Project Scope:
    • Identify the affected area.
    • Determine the duration and intensity of traffic disruption.
  2. Conducting a Risk Assessment:
    • Identify all potential hazards.
    • Prioritise risks based on their likelihood and impact.
  3. Designing Traffic Control Measures:
    • Use temporary traffic signals, cones, and barriers.
    • Plan detours and alternate routes.
  4. Training and Communication:
    • Train personnel involved in traffic management.
    • Keep stakeholders informed about updates.
