Description
What is a Traffic Management Plan?
A traffic management plan (TMP) is a detailed document designed to regulate, optimise and ensure the safety of road users, the movement of people, vehicles and mobile plant throughout a given area, roadway or worksite.
It can help to improve the safety, efficiency and effectiveness of traffic flow in an area. It can also involve changes to existing infrastructure, such as adding additional pathways, signage and signals, or it can involve changes to the way drivers use the travel paths, such as altering speed limits or changing travel patterns.
When is a Traffic Management Plan Required?
In workplaces with a high volume of pedestrian and vehicle or mobile plant traffic, a comprehensive traffic management plan is essential for effectively communicating and managing workplace traffic risks.
The plan should outline the desired flow of traffic, expected interactions between vehicles, mobile plant and pedestrians and specific arrangements for guiding and warning individuals around potential hazards.
Key elements of a traffic management plan include:
- Traffic Flow: Defining the preferred movement of mobile plant, vehicles and pedestrians within the workplace.
- Interactions: Anticipating and addressing potential conflicts between mobile plant, vehicles and pedestrians.
- Layout: Illustrating the placement of barriers, walkways, signs, and other safety measures to guide traffic.
- Traffic Management: Outlining procedures for handling short-term, mobile work and complex traffic situations.
- Responsibilities: Assigning roles and responsibilities to individuals involved in traffic management and those who interact with traffic.
Regular monitoring and review of the plan are crucial to ensure its effectiveness and adaptability to changing workplace conditions. It’s essential to provide workers with information, instruction and training on the traffic management plan to ensure their familiarity and understanding.
Control Measures for Traffic Management Risks
Some worksites can be very busy and dangerous places, and traffic can be a major hazard. Traffic controls and rules are critical for ensuring the safety of workers, visitors and motorists in and around work zones.
Some of the most important site traffic controls and rules include:
- Pedestrians and vehicles must stay separated. This means that there should be designated walkways for pedestrians and separate routes for vehicles.
- Vehicles must travel at a safe speed. The speed limit should be posted and enforced, and drivers should be aware of the potential for pedestrians and other hazards.
- Drivers must be aware of their surroundings. This means paying attention to pedestrians, other vehicles, and obstacles.
- Site vehicles must be properly marked. This means that they should have reflective tape and lights to make them visible to pedestrians and other drivers.
- Vehicles must be parked in designated areas. This helps to keep the work area clear and prevents vehicles from blocking access to emergency vehicles.
