                                                                                     Traffic Management Plan


17. Appendix 7 - Traffic Management Options Considered
Below is a sample of the traffic management options to be considered.

 Option                      Features                                                                       Comment

 Vehicle Traffic             Sidetrack      Construct a side-track full width to allow two lanes of         Not Adopted
 around the worksite                        traffic past the works and not affect the construction.
                                            Disadvantages:
                                            ▪    Not practical as cost of construction and timeframe
                                                 are not feasible.
                                            ▪    It would take months to construct and remove a side-
                                                 track which would delay the works program.
                                            ▪    Two bridges along section of works which require
                                                 additional detour works through creeks.
                                            Advantages:
                                            ▪    This will allow access to unimpeded access to the
                                                 work area for resealing works to be completed.
                                            ▪    Less delays for road users.
                                            ▪    Positive customer experience.

                             Detour         Close Lake Macdonald Drive and detour all through traffic       Not Practical. But
                                            around                                                          will be utilised for
                                                                                                            Emergency /
                                            Disadvantages:                                                  Alternative Route
                                            ▪    This detour would add an additional excess km of           for road users
                                                 travel to road users.
                                            ▪    Would still have to allow for full traffic management to
                                                 deal with local traffic.
                                            ▪    Harvest time would create additional traffic on road to
                                                 deal with.
                                            Advantages:
                                            ▪    Would remove most road users from the road and
                                                 minimise traffic interaction with construction.
                                            ▪    Allow smoother construction of the sealing works.

                             Contraflow     Not possible as road is not a multi lane road.                  Not Adopted




 Traffic through the         Allow road users to traverse through the works, but only possible after        Not Adopted
 worksite                    placement of initial rolling of stone.
                             Disadvantages:
                             ▪    Higher risk of incident or collision.
                             ▪    Higher risk of injury to workers and road users.
                             ▪    Possible stone chips to vehicles due to accessing the sealing works
                                  to early.
                             ▪    Possibly reduced customer satisfaction.
                             ▪    Possibly require pilot vehicle.
