Traffic Management Plan – 25040286

rain is so heavy that the risk is considered unacceptable, all work shall cease until rain has cleared. All
changes shall be noted in the daily diary.

   6.1.3   Floods

Should works be affected by flooding to the extent that the worksite becomes impassable or risk is considered
unacceptable, all work shall cease immediately, and Traffic Controllers (and other personnel if necessary)
shall be deployed immediately to close the site and direct traffic around the flooded area (under the direction of
the project manager or traffic manager). Emergency services and the Road Authority shall be notified
immediately, and Traffic Controllers shall remain onsite until emergency services and the Road Authority
personnel arrive and take control of the site.

   6.1.4   Sun Glare

Where sun glare is identified as adversely affecting a driver’s ability to sight signage and / or traffic control
devices, sign locations may need to be adjusted and additional delineation and/or traffic control devices
provided to address the risk from glare. Additionally, in the event that traffic control is adversely affected by
glare at sunset and sunrise, traffic controllers may need to assist in maintaining low traffic speeds.

All changes are to be noted in the daily diary.

   6.1.5   Fog, Dust and Smoke

Where fog, dust or smoke is identified as adversely affecting a driver’s ability to sight signage and / or traffic
control devices, sign locations may need to be adjusted and additional delineation and/or traffic control devices
provided to address the risk. All changes are to be noted in the daily diary.

Should works be affected by fog, dust or smoke to the extent that risk is considered unacceptable, all work
shall cease immediately, and Traffic Controllers (and other personnel if necessary) shall be deployed
immediately to close the site.

   6.1.6   Road Geometry, Terrain, Vegetation and Structures

The limitations on a driver’s ability to see and/or read messages conveyed by pavement markings under
certain geometric road conditions (e.g. around curves, on crest vertical curves) should be recognised.

Total reliance on pavement markings to guide or control drivers at locations of special hazard should be
avoided (e.g. hazard markers may also be required to delineate an obstruction or road narrowing).

   6.2 Existing Traffic and Adverting Signs

Ensure they do not conflict with information on any existing signs or warning signs already erected. Cover or
remove any existing signs that are not relevant during works.
Record details of existing signs and devices, ensure advice is provided in TGSs where existing signs are to be
covered or completely obscured.
