Code of Practice for Temporary Traffic Management Part 9: Processes and Procedures

Austroads’ Code of Practice for Temporary Traffic Management (CoPTTM) is being developed as part of the strategic priority project Safety at Road Worksites (Project BN2019). The intent of Austroads member authorities is to establish the nationally preferred and harmonised approach for undertaking temporary traffic management for works on roads.

The CoPTTM will be an eleven-part series that steps traffic control professionals through all of the processes, procedures, and technical information required to develop, write, implement, and manage traffic management requirements for work sites. It has been developed based on best temporary traffic management practice in Australia and New Zealand, to assist road authorities to meet their existing legislative responsibilities for workplace and public safety.

Part 9 details the processes and procedures relating to jurisdictional management of temporary traffic management at roadworks. The information included covers:

• categories of temporary traffic management
• powers, roles and responsibilities
• training
• standard forms and descriptions.

It provides guidance to road authorities, road infrastructure managers, any party conducting works on or near a road, and all persons involved in planning, designing, implementing, managing and completing temporary traffic management works.
