TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN
We offer expert traffic management planning services that cater to the specific requirements of each project. We work closely with our clients to design comprehensive traffic management plans that meet Waka Kotahi NZTA and local Councils regulations, ensuring smooth and safe traffic flow during construction, events, or roadworks. Our plans focus on minimizing disruption and maximizing safety for both workers and road users.
RISK BASE TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN (RSTMP)
A Risk-Based Traffic Management Plan ensures that the risks associated with roadworks, events, or disruptions are minimized. By systematically identifying and managing risks, the TMP ensures safety for both road users and workers. The NZGTTM provides detailed guidance on how to approach and implement such plans, focusing on effective risk management, compliance, and ongoing monitoring.
SITE SPACIFIC TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN (SSTMP)
A Site-Specific Traffic Management Plan (SSTMP) ensures that traffic, pedestrian, and cyclist safety is maintained during a specific project or event. By addressing the unique risks and requirements of the site, the SSTMP provides a comprehensive and tailored approach to traffic management. Proper planning, clear communication, and ongoing monitoring are key to ensuring the success of the plan and minimizing disruption to the public and the surrounding community.
GENERIC TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN (GTMP)
The Generic Traffic Management Plan (GTMP) is a practical and efficient solution for organizations, especially utilities companies, that regularly perform low-risk, high-volume tasks or emergency callouts. It allows for fast and streamlined deployment of traffic management measures, ensuring that roadworks, maintenance, and emergency repairs are carried out with minimal disruption to traffic and pedestrians while maintaining safety standards. By standardizing traffic management practices for routine work, the GTMP enables quick responses to emergencies and the smooth completion of projects, all while ensuring compliance with road safety regulations.
Moreover, Global Permits or Generic TMPs are typically issued for a period ranging from 6 months to 1 year, depending on the scope of work and the approval process. This time frame allows organizations to carry out routine and emergency works within a specified area without needing to submit new plans for each individual task. The flexibility of these permits supports ongoing operations, ensuring that work can continue efficiently with fewer administrative delays.
EVENT TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN (ETMP)
Are you planning an event that involves the use of road corridors and public spaces? A well-designed Traffic Management Plan (TMP) is essential to ensure the safety of all participants, road users, and pedestrians. Whether it’s a parade, festival, concert, or sporting event, we are here to help you create a comprehensive ETMP that meets all safety standards and regulatory requirements. Our expert team will assess the event’s specific needs, design an effective traffic flow plan, and ensure that all necessary permits and approvals are in place.
In general, local councils require the submission of this plan 60 days prior to the event to allow sufficient time for communication with local communities, traffic diversions, and the advertising of event details. Let us handle the traffic management so you can focus on delivering a successful event.
CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT (CTMP)
A Construction Traffic Management Plan (CTMP) ensures the safe and efficient movement of traffic around a construction site, minimizing disruption to road users and the community. It includes traffic control measures, site access points, signage, detours, and temporary road closures, addressing potential hazards and protecting both workers and the public.
Local authorities typically require a CTMP before work begins, ensuring compliance with safety standards. With Secure Traffic, we create tailored CTMPs to ensure your construction project runs smoothly, safely, and with minimal disruption. Let us handle the traffic management, so you can focus on completing your project on time and within budget.
TMP APPLICATION PROCESS
The Traffic Management Application Process ensures that temporary changes to roadways—due to construction, events, or other activities—are carefully planned, approved, and implemented in line with all relevant regulations. This process prioritizes safety, efficiency, and minimal disruption to traffic and local communities.
Requests for traffic management can be easily made through our TMP Portal, where you can submit your application and track the progress of your request.
Initial Planning and Assessment
- Identify Work Type: Define the nature of the project or event (e.g., construction, maintenance, festival) and assess its traffic impact.
- Assess Road Usage: Evaluate current traffic flow, pedestrian movement, and any potential disruptions or hazards.
