GUIDELINE
FOR PREPARING A TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN (TMP)
Preparation
of a detail Traffic Management Plan and proper implementation of measures
identified in the approved plan is essential to ensure the safety of all road
users as well as the workers at site. It would also assure the smooth operation
of the road network as well as the work site.
TMP FORMAT
1.
Description of the proposed works and lane/road closures.
2.
Identification and assessment of traffic impacts of proposed works.
3. Detail
traffic management measures to ameliorate the impacts of proposed works.
4.
Assessment of public transport services affected.
5. Details
of provisions made for emergency vehicles, heavy vehicles, cyclists and
pedestrians.
6.
Assessment of effect of proposed traffic management measures on traffic
movements in adjoining streets.
7.
Proposed public/ tenant notification process if required.
TMP EXPLANATORY NOTES
1. Description of the proposed works and
lane/road closures:
Details
should be provided of the proposed works on road and the closure type (number
of lanes and the length of road affected from the works and the number of lanes
available for through traffic).
2. Identification and assessment of traffic
impacts of proposed works:
The
assessment would include approximate traffic flow data (eg light
vehicles/heavy vehicles /pedestrians etc) for the affected road area.
Assessment should also include possible impacts on adjoining properties (access,
on-street parking etc.).
3. Detail traffic management measures to
ameliorate the impacts of proposed works:
Details
should be provided of the proposed measures (traffic controllers, part
closures, detours etc.) to minimise the impact of proposed road/lane
closures on other road users.
4. Assessment of public transport services
affected
Details
should be provided of public transport services affected and the provisions
(measures/notifications)
made
to minimise the impact on public transport services.
5. Details of provisions made for emergency
vehicles, heavy vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians:
Details
should be provided of provisions (measures/notifications) made for
affected emergency vehicles, heavy vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians.
6. Assessment of effect on proposed traffic
management measures on traffic movements in adjoining streets:
The
assessment would include forecasted traffic flow data for roads and
intersections of adjoining roads. Specific attention should be made to the
streets where traffic is proposed to be detoured.
7. Proposed public/ tenant notification
process:
Proposed
consultation process with the public/ other tenants directly affected by the
proposed works and road closures.
NOTES
1. The TMP
should include following details:
1.1
Location of road occupancy/proposed works
- Street name and
number
- precinct on
airport
- Map of where on
airport
1.2 Road
Occupancy Details
- Name and address
of the applicant
- Contact name
- Contact
telephone numbers
- Contact fax
number
- On site contact
name
- On site contact
telephone numbers
- Schedule date and
time of commencement of works
- Intended date
and time of completion of works
2. If
approval is granted for the proposed works the applicant must prepare a Traffic
Control Plan (TCP) that complies with OH & S requirements to protect
the safety of
workers as
well as the road users.
3. With
some smaller work sites/occupancies, the Traffic Control Plan can be submitted
as the Traffic Management Plan.
4. If the
works/road occupancy cannot go ahead because of adverse weather conditions or
other unforseen circumstances, the applicant may reapply for another date using
the same Traffic Management Plan. Providing that there are no changes to the
original application, BAC needs to check wether the new date conflicts with any
other road developments or road occupancies/road closers in the area.
