What is a TMP?
A Traffic Management Plan (TMP) is the overarching document that covers all the documentation and facts about a worksite. It contains risk assessment, road geography, option analysis, and various other parts that show the designer has considered all possible risks and approaches to traffic management.
What does the legislation say?
The Australian Guide to Temporary Traffic Management (AGTTM) defines a TMP as follows:
TTM generally requires proponents to provide a Traffic Management Plan (TMP) that integrates an activity into the operation of the road network. The plan assesses an activity’s impact on traffic flow and describes the activities being proposed, their impact on the general area (including public transport passengers, cyclists, pedestrians, motorists and commercial operations), and how these impacts are being addressed.
Frequently Asked Questions
