Traffic Management Services

Traffic Management Plans (TMPs) – Comprehensive documents that outline how vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists will safely move through or around a worksite, event, or emergency zone. In Queensland, TMPs are a mandatory requirement for projects impacting the road corridor and must be prepared by an accredited Traffic Management Designer (TMD). These plans go beyond simple layouts, they include risk assessments, roles and responsibilities, emergency access arrangements, staging, and compliance measures in line with TMR’s Traffic Management for Works on Roads Code of Practice, MUTCD Part 3, and Austroads AGTTM guidelines.

Traffic Guidance Schemes (TGS) –Detailed, site-specific diagrams that illustrate exactly how traffic will be directed around a work zone, event, or emergency site. Designed and certified by an accredited Traffic Management Designer (TMD), a TGS shows the placement of signage, cones, barriers, traffic controllers, detours, pedestrian diversions, and speed restrictions in line with MUTCD Part 3 (QLD edition) and Austroads AGTTM standards. These layouts translate the broader Traffic Management Plan (TMP) into practical, on-the-ground instructions, ensuring consistency, safety, and compliance during implementation.

Qualified Traffic Controllers – Accredited professionals responsible for safely implementing Traffic Management Plans (TMPs) and Traffic Guidance Schemes (TGS) on the ground. In Queensland, all traffic controllers must hold current TMR accreditation and work in accordance with the Traffic Management for Works on Roads Code of Practice (TM-CoP) and MUTCD Part 3 requirements. Their duties include managing stop/slow operations, setting up and maintaining signage, guiding vehicles and pedestrians, and responding to changing site conditions in real time.

Signage & Equipment – The essential tools of safe and compliant traffic management, providing clear direction to motorists, pedestrians, and workers around active sites. In Queensland, all traffic control devices must comply with the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD Part 3) and relevant Australian Standards (AS 1742.3 and AS/NZS 1906.1) for reflectivity, durability, and visibility. This includes cones, bollards, barriers, warning lights, arrow boards, and regulatory signage, all installed to precise offsets, heights, and taper lengths.

Monitoring & Adjustments – a vital part of effective traffic management, ensuring that approved Traffic Management Plans (TMPs) and Traffic Guidance Schemes (TGS) remain safe and practical throughout the duration of works or events. Conditions on the road can change quickly, whether due to weather, traffic volumes, emergencies, or project staging, and accredited supervisors must continuously oversee the site to make real-time modifications. This may include repositioning signage, adjusting buffer zones, deploying additional traffic controllers, or altering detours to maintain compliance with the MUTCD Part 3, Austroads AGTTM, and TMR’s TM-CoP.
