• Hours of Work: The hours when the project starts and concludes throughout the day are indicated by this information. Schedules for a few particular construction activities and the project's weekly length may also be included. Similar to the duration of the work section, the time will be used to notify employees and the general public about the project's construction timetable. This feature will help to ensure that traffic control measures are scheduled effectively and that nearby companies and individuals are ready for the disruption.Hours of work: 8AM-5PM, Monday-Friday.Demolition Schedule: 1PM-4PM, Monday - Thursday

Traffic Control

In this section of the traffic management plan, it is important to effectively manage and outline how to safely handle traffic on passing vehicles, heavy equipment, and pedestrians. This section is also divided into subjections to provide specifics on certain subjects of traffic. Here are the subsections included under traffic control in the traffic management plan:

• Separation: The goal of this traffic management technique is to ensure that construction-related vehicles and public vehicles may coexist safely. This tactic creates lanes for various types of vehicles. It is necessary to make sure that the cars travelling on the approved roadways are the correct ones. Let's use a three-lane road as an example. The two remaining routes are open to the public, but the one closest to the building site will be reserved only for cars involved in the project. This is a practical illustration of traffic control for separation.
• Pedestrian Lanes and Walkways: The purpose of pedestrian lanes and walkways is to allow people to safely move through areas that are being constructed. Sometimes, falling debris is unavoidable and may fall close to the sidewalk that people use on a daily basis. To prevent accidents and injuries from falling debris, a pedestrian lane or walkway is designed to divert traffic from the hazardous path and give people safe access to the area around the construction site.
• Vehicle Routes: The purpose of this regulation is to provide passing cars safe access to building sites. This is similar to pedestrian lanes and walkways, which offer an alternative path for vehicles to avoid falling objects that could severely damage automobiles and injure people. Additionally, these collisions may cause additional traffic congestion, which is not a good case. To ensure safety and avoid obstructing traffic, it is crucial to make clear the routes that vehicles may follow.
• Signs and Warning Devices: Roadside information is provided by signs and warning devices, particularly near construction sites. These might facilitate safe traffic flow for automobiles, pedestrians, and stakeholders close to building sites. Accidents may be avoided with these in the vicinity. Bright colours are probably going to be utilised on these signs since they need to be clearly observable in order to be successful. The signage's text must then be legible and sufficiently lengthy for oncoming traffic to read it in its entirety while driving. These signs may be made readily comprehensible by adding lights that produce colours that are universally known (for example, red indicates stop, yellow indicates caution, and green indicates go).
• Traffic Enforcers: These employees have received specialised training in controlling traffic around construction sites. In the majority of nations, traffic is handled by the police. They are often used to direct vehicles and people on the new routes during the initial few days of construction, on days when special events are held, when traffic has to be diverted, and on days after the project is completed to direct people back to the previous route.
• Inspection: This type of inspection is meant for vehicles used on construction sites. Inspections must be done to ensure that the vehicle is optimally working and prevent road traffic disruption. This inspection is also meant to maintain safety when driving these vehicles. It must be made sure that the requirements for inspection are completed before deploying the vehicle to work. To understand these further, read more at Driver Vehicle Inspection Report Requirements.

Traffic Management Layout

A traffic management layout is made to safely arrange routes in the traffic management plan. We will be able to observe how to control traffic flow in the area where the construction is taking place thanks to this plan. A thorough graphic outlining all traffic control measures in the construction area is the end product. This map, which is often marked up, includes details on construction activities, traffic control measures, and necessary signage. The following are the essential elements that the diagram must include: pedestrian walkways, vehicle routes, safety zones, signs, and warning devices.

Communication and Emergency Procedures.

This is a crucial part of the traffic management plan, as communication plays a giant role in managing traffic, and emergency response needs to be clearly defined on what measures to take to effectively rescue individuals if ever an emergency occurs. This section in the TMP also has subsections to break down important details of the section. Here are the following subsections of the Communication and Emergency procedures in a TMP:

• Communication: This subsection highlights the important roles in traffic management and channels to which information could be passed if ever there are changes in traffic. These roles are clearly defined along with the kind of information that is vital to be passed. Having this established will streamline traffic management around the construction area.
• Emergency Procedures: This section provides the step-by-step procedures on how to respond to a possible emergency on site. The subsection envelops emergencies such as breakdowns of critical equipment, road accidents, and injuries. Roles are also defined in this section to give clarity on who should contact whom and who should respond to rescue. It is important that roles are given to qualified personnel to make sure the procedures are followed through.
• Emergency Contact Information: This subsection is a list of all contacts that are needed whenever an emergency occurs. The following are the contacts that are necessary on your TMP: Police department, fire department, ambulance of the nearest hospital, towing and recovery services, utility companies, local government units, and environmental and hazmat response.
