FAQs for Traffic Management Planning
A: A Traffic Guidance Scheme (TGS) is a specific visual diagram showing exactly where signs, cones, and traffic controllers will be placed on the road for each stage of work.
A Traffic Management Plan (TMP) is a comprehensive, high-level document. It details the entire project scope, risk assessments, public transport impacts, swept path analysis and stakeholder management strategies. The TGS form part of the TMP.
Flowsafe designs both custom TGS diagrams and robust TMPs to ensure total compliance and smooth project execution.
A: You generally need a comprehensive TMP whenever a project or event disrupts regular road use, changes traffic flow, or requires a Council or Department of Transport and Planning (DTP) permit. This includes works in proximity to live traffic, lane closures, road closures, traffic holds, and large public events.
