Traffic Guidance Schemes for NSW works
Temporary works need an arrangement that the site team can understand and apply. Roadlink prepares Traffic Guidance Schemes for lane closures, detours, pedestrian management and other temporary traffic arrangements, with planning connected to traffic control crews and equipment requirements.
If your brief calls the drawing a Traffic Control Plan or TCP, send it with your site information. We will confirm the terminology, required documents and scope for the engagement before preparation begins.
Start with the work and the road users
A useful brief explains what is being done, where the work happens and how conditions change through the shift. Roadlink's existing planning service includes construction staging and access coordination, work-window and methodology review, and the practical interfaces between plans and field delivery.
Share the site location, work area, proposed dates and hours, staging sequence, drawings, access requirements and any authority or client conditions. Identify the pedestrians, cyclists, vehicles, neighbouring properties and other operations that could be affected. This lets the planning discussion focus on the actual arrangement rather than a generic drawing.
What can be included in the agreed scope
- TGS preparation for the temporary arrangement and its relevant stages.
- Planning for lane closures, detours and pedestrian movement.
- Review of access, work windows, sequencing and operational interfaces.
- Coordination of documentation with traffic control and equipment needs.
- Road Occupancy Licence or other permit inputs where included in the engagement.
The final deliverables, revisions, responsibilities and approval dependencies are confirmed with the project team. A drawing does not itself grant permission to occupy a road or commence work.
From brief to site delivery
Review the scope
Establish the works, constraints, road environment and requirements of the project or authority.
Develop the arrangement
Prepare the agreed traffic documentation around the intended delivery method and staging.
Coordinate the requirements
Address client and authority inputs where included in the engagement and identify decisions that remain outstanding.
Connect with field delivery
Align the final arrangement with crews and equipment. Changed conditions must be considered through the applicable site review process.
How this fits with TMP and CTMP work
The TGS deals with a particular temporary arrangement. Broader project traffic planning may need a Traffic Management Plan or a Construction Traffic Management Plan as well. Roadlink's planning consultation service can help define that document package.
Questions before engaging a planner
Can Roadlink work from existing drawings?
Supply the available drawings, project brief and conditions so the team can confirm their suitability and any missing information.
Does a TGS include a permit?
Permit coordination is a separate scope item where required. Confirm the responsible applicant and authority requirements at the start.
Can planning be connected with site crews?
Roadlink's current services include planning, traffic control delivery and equipment hire. Confirm the combined scope, dates and responsibilities in the engagement.
Which NSW areas are supported?
Current service coverage includes Greater Sydney, Illawarra/Wollongong, the South Coast and other NSW projects by arrangement, subject to scope and requirements.
Send the brief
Contact Roadlink with your location, dates, work description, drawings and known conditions. The team can confirm the planning pathway and the information needed to develop the arrangement.
