A TMP details the temporary traffic control measures required to protect workers and the public, using various equipment and devices.

It is a dynamic document that can be updated as conditions change, typically covering the project’s scope or the type of works.

A risk assessment is conducted of the controls and devices, detour routes, and emergency response procedures to reduce disruption and maintain safety. 

A TMP is mandatory for any project that impacts public roads and footpaths. Failing to provide one can result in fines, work stoppages, and increased safety risks. 

A Traffic Guidance Scheme (TGS) is a detailed technical drawing. It clearly shows exactly how road users such as drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists will be safely guided around, past or through a worksite, event, or any activity that disrupts normal traffic conditions.

It visually sets out the temporary on‑street layout, including the placement of signs, cones, barriers, detours, and any traffic controllers needed to maintain safe and efficient movement. 

The type of planning level required will depend on the project or scale of works and events. Get in touch to discuss the options for your upcoming project.

Pedestrian delineations, plans, and detours ensure people can move safely and accessibly around worksites when normal footpaths are disrupted. Delineation uses tools like cones, barricades, ramps and signage to clearly guide pedestrians and separate them from vehicles and designated work areas. 

Pedestrian detours redirect foot traffic using clear signage, barriers, and accessible temporary walkways. Effective detours should be easy to follow, minimise extra travel time, and replicate the safety and convenience of the original route.
