Whether you’re managing a construction site, road project, or warehouse, having a clear and compliant Traffic Management Plan (TMP) is essential for safety, workflow efficiency, and legal compliance. At Allsetts Traffic Management, we specialize in end-to-end traffic management planning to ensure your projects meet both regulatory standards and operational needs.
This guide explains what a traffic management plan includes, when it’s required, and provides access to useful PDFs, templates, and examples.
1. What Is a Traffic Management Plan?
A Traffic Management Plan (TMP) outlines how vehicle and pedestrian traffic will be safely managed around a work zone or high-risk area. It details temporary signage, detours, flagging procedures, speed zones, and access routes.
2. Why Traffic Management Planning Matters
A well-designed TMP helps to:
-
Prevent accidents and injuries
-
Minimize disruption to public traffic
-
Meet local council or government permit requirements
-
Protect workers, drivers, and pedestrians
At allsetts.com.au, our planners prepare TMPs for a wide range of environments—from urban roads to warehouse facilities.
3. Traffic Management Plan for Construction Sites
Construction zones are often surrounded by active traffic, delivery trucks, and pedestrians. A site-specific traffic management plan for construction sites is required before most major projects begin, especially in metro areas.
We assess:
-
Site access/egress
-
Heavy vehicle movements
-
Worker safety zones
-
Night-time visibility
-
Nearby public traffic routes
4. Road Construction Traffic Plans
When working on roads, safety is critical. A traffic management plan for road construction includes detour routes, advance warning signage, and traffic light control if required.
5. Warehouse Traffic Management Plans
Workplace safety laws require businesses to manage traffic risks in warehouses and depots. A warehouse traffic management plan ensures safe interaction between forklifts, trucks, and workers on foot.
Elements include:
-
One-way traffic flows
-
Signage and floor markings
-
Pedestrian exclusion zones
-
Designated loading areas
6. Drawings & Plan Examples
Every TMP we deliver includes a traffic management plan drawing, created using CAD or digital tools to scale. It shows placement of barriers, signs, cones, lanes, and entry points.
We also offer:
-
Traffic management plan example PDFs
-
Traffic management plan template Word files

Editable layouts for client or council use
