If your event is likely to impede local traffic movement, Council will require a Traffic Management Plan. This document details the event, its impacts on the area or the risks associated with plant and vehicle traffic, and how your project will manage them.
A Traffic Management Plan (TMP) is a document you must submit to a council for review if you are planning works on a road, street, lane or footpath within NSW. It takes into account all road users. Save time, money and increase safety with a fully-compliant plan. Whether for a road closure or a complex traffic arrangement, we assess your needs and design a cost-effective solution.
There are numerous ways to control the risks associated with working on roads or road-related areas. For example, traffic control measures can be road closures, footpath closures, detours, signing or traffic controllers.

A Traffic Guidance Scheme (TGS) is a detailed layout of temporary signs and devices that communicate the TTM arrangement to guide traffic around, past or through a work site or temporary hazard. It is necessary where the road environment temporarily changes and the road users have to change their usual way. Designing a TGS means checking against risks that the TMP identifies to ensure that the means of controlling or reducing these risks are in place. Absolute Traffic Management is here for you understand how the design process works and to provide you with the best traffic guidance schemes.
When an event disrupts the usual flow of traffic, having the right tools is essential. Effective traffic management relies on planning and traffic control equipment. But, what exactly are these tools and equipment that traffic controllers use and how are they beneficial? In this blog we look at 3 essential tools every traffic controller should use.
