TMP refers to a compiled document consisting of method statement of

Traffic Management, work programme, TCP & etc.

Shows the placement of Traffic Control Devices (TCD) according to the construction sequence

Provide information on the types of areas that

will be involved.

WHAT IS TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN (TMP)?

DESIGN PHASE

DESIGN PHASE

TCP must cover overall project site

TCP must be audited by Road Safety Auditor during the RSA Stage 3 Audit

Road Design Engineers design a conceptual TCP

The Road Authorities or the person/parties carrying out works on the road should

allocate funds for the execution of traffic management at work zones

For the purpose of costing, Consultants and Contractors are to refer to

CURRENT ISSUES

Inadequate TCD

Inappropriate signage

Lack of maintenance

Not enough workers

Lack of safety auditing of work zones

POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS

The Road Authorities and

Supervising Engineers must review TMP to

ensure best practice are

implemented and optimum materials

used

New additions to the Standard Specifications

must be strictly implemented

Constant checks to the work zones
