Why Your Next Project Needs A Traffic Control Plan

LEARN MORE

Picture this; you’re driving along the Pacific Highway, and you see a sign that asks you to slow down to 40km/h. As you’re slowly going through, you see another sign letting you know the left lane is closed so you’ll need to merge. After merging, you see some men and women in high-vis and hard hats filling in potholes in that left lane. Barricades and cones are all along the road, along with signs reminding you to keep your speed to 40km/h. After a stretch of about 2km, a signal lets you know that the roadworks have ended and you can speed up again.


We often don’t think about the work that goes into a traffic control plan in Sydney, but someone carefully developed a temporary traffic control plan to ensure efficiency and safety for every road user involved. While it’s evident that projects such as highway construction need a detailed traffic control plan, you may not have considered whether or not your next project could benefit from a temporary traffic control plan. Here are a few reasons to consider using Traffic Services Sydney for your project.

Traffic Control Plans Enforce Safety

A temporary traffic control plan ensures the safety of everyone involved in a project. Let’s use our roadworks example from before. That traffic control plan would have taken into account;

  • The road workers. These are the people out in the hot sun or the middle of the night fixing our roads. They have a right to feel safe doing their job, so traffic control is crucial to them. It ensures traffic is a reasonable distance from their workspace as well as making sure the cars are observing a safe speed for which to anticipate upcoming changes to the road.
  • Road users. The safety of the people using the highway is crucial. RMS traffic control plans provide road users with clear signs and directions to anticipate changes to the roads. Additionally, ensuring traffic is travelling slower prevents damage to cars driving through. Speeding through road works areas can cause rocks and debris to flick up, resulting in damage to your vehicle.
  • Road-side machinery. Often the machines used for roadworks are slow, clunky things. Leaving the site can be dangerous without an appropriate traffic control plan, as these machines aren’t very speedy. Traffic Services Sydney have the experience to execute careful temporary traffic control plans that allow us to organise the best and safest method of allowing vehicles to enter and exit construction sites.


While this is just one example of a hypothetical situation, it exemplifies how much care and thought Traffic Services Sydney put into creating detailed temporary traffic control plans.

  • What is a traffic control plan?

    Traffic control plans (TCP’s) are detailed drawings that show the layout of temporary road signs and devices to warn and guide traffic past, around and through the work site safely. A TCP is part of a work health and safety (WHS) requirement of a worksite (i.e. a copy should be available on site). It should adhere to the principles outlined in respective traffic control for road works manuals established by each State and Territory and Australian Standards (TCAWS). This plan is an instruction for the site/road crews and is usually in the form of a diagram showing the road conditions (lanes, signs etc.) and how the traffic is to be managed around the site / activities (temporary signs, posting of traffic control staff, etc.). The plan aids to ensure the safety of all road users, and the protection of workers.
