Why do we need to implement temporary traffic management?

Temporary traffic management is needed on occasions where there are roadworks, construction sites or events that require changes in traffic flow.

A temporary traffic management system is the placing of traffic lighting, signage and guarding on a carriageway or road. The implementation of this system is vital for the safety of those working on the roads and for members of the public who use the road system.

By implementing this system we are able to reduce the number of accidents on the roads, leaving little risks to workers as well as members of the public. The aim of traffic management is to make the works run as efficiently and safely as possible for everyone involved.

In New Zealand, legislation requires that anyone conducting a business must do all things practical to keep workers and road users safe. Traffic management might involve lane closures, detours, pedestrian access or traffic management vehicles. On top of this, other methods could be temporary traffic signals, two-way traffic and priority signage.

Bear in mind that the site location, the reason for the event or construction, what the works entail and their duration will determine the traffic management layout that will be required.

What is the importance of temporary traffic management?

Whether you are running a high-speed project or a large public event you need to implement temporary traffic management for the safety of everyone involved

During temporary work zones, events, and other traffic disruptions, temporary traffic management is essential to help maintain the safety of those nearby. Control measures must be utilized, such as cones, signs and barriers. These measures help to ensure safety and keep an efficient flow of traffic around the vent or work zone.

Bad traffic management will lead to congestion,  impact road users’ journeys, and disrupt the daily life of anyone who comes into contact with it.
