Traffic Management Planning (TMP)

Traffic management plans (TMP) are an integral part in the delivery of traffic management and traffic control services. As traffic flow increases, so does congestion and therefore the likelihood of traffic accidents.

Councils and roads authorities require professionally prepared traffic control plans (TCP). These plans are normally required before the council or state road authority issue assessments and permits to work on the road (state authorities across Australia can vary in their requirements).

ALTUS Traffic can help.
