NSW - Prepare Work Zone Traffic Management Plans

This course provides training for personnel who are required to design new traffic management plans and TCGS/TCP’s for road works, produce major upgrades of standard plans and/or inspect traffic control plans on road construction sites.

This course does not qualify a participant to control traffic with a Stop/Slow bat or set up work with traffic control plans.

This program is suited to experienced traffic control/management operators.

All training and assessment is carried out by RMS Approved Training Providers and qualified RMS Approved trainer/assessors.

Course Outline

Collect all required information about a given roadwork project to enable the preparation of a TCGS/TCP.
Design a TCGS/TCP, based on risk assessment, statutory and regulatory requirements, standards, road authority requirements and project brief.
Select and modify a TCGS/TCP based on risk assessment, statutory and regulatory requirements, standards, road authority requirements and project brief.
Draw up a TCGS/TCP to recognise other graphical representations such as pedestrian movement plans, vehicle movement plans, and notification of authorities.
Determine the recommended spacing between signs and traffic control devices in line with standards; measure width of trafficable surface; calculate edge clearances to barriers, cones and clearance to work personnel.
Incorporate Environmental Management Plans
Conduct an onsite check and inspection of the plan and to identify any unexpected hazards/risks.
Identify approvals required; identify approval agencies, types of approvals for roadway access, railway reserve access, authority to install signs on roads, variation to standards.
Understand speed, environment, type and class of vehicles, traffic density, sight lines, environmental condition, weather patterns and surface type
Monitor and interpret control systems to apply to the drawing, selection and design
Use approved methods and follow recognised local legislation
Use the site/location assessment, distinguish topographical landmarks and carry out authorised risk control
Collate traffic volume data type and class of vehicles
Determine lane capacity, road network performance and lane closure restrictions
Identify impacts from any concurrent or adjacent works
Identify times and dates of any planned public events that may result in increased or redistributed traffic patterns
Identify affected stakeholders and type of notification required and prepare notifications
Calculate costings for TMP development and implementation

Pre-Requisite’s

There are no training package pre-requisites for these units of competency, although RMS has set minimum course pre requisites to obtain a photo card in NSW, see below

Participants who hold one of the following

Current ‘Apply Traffic Control Plans’ photo card
