4. TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN ARRANGEMENTS
4.1 OPTIONS CONSIDERED
A detailed Option Analysis (Appendix C) was completed to ascertain the optimal traffic management treatment for the Bruce
Highway reseal works. Key considerations when performing this analysis being: efficiency and safety of workers, road traffic,
pedestrians, cyclists, property accesses, disabled members of the public, emergency and local government services.

The QGTTM accepts AGTTM Part 2 Section 2.4 which states:
Traffic is to be managed at a work site according to a hierarchy of control. This ‘around, through and past’ hierarchy of traffic
management is Austroads best practice and must be reflected in a TMP:

    •    Traffic around the work area – this is the preferred method where available. It requires traffic to be guided around a
         work area using a detour on other existing roads or on specially constructed sidetrack. Requirements and
         recommendations for the operation of sidetracks, detours and temporary crossovers (contraflow) on divided roads are
         given in AGTTM Part 3.
    •    Traffic through the work area – except as provided for by short term and low impact works, passage of traffic through a
         work area will only be permitted where both the traffic and the work can be adequately controlled. Traffic control
         through use of Portable Traffic Control Devices (PTCD) or manual traffic control are employed as necessary to slow
         traffic on the immediate approach to an active work area, to stop traffic for short periods when required for the
         movement of plant or other operations or to control single line shuttle working. A pilot vehicle may be required to lead
         traffic along the desired path and to control its speed.
    •    Traffic past the work area – this is the most complex method of traffic management at sites where complete
         elimination of traffic from the site is not practicable. Traffic paths past the work area involve a combination of lateral
         separation, clear warning and delineation. Requirements and recommendations for this method of hazard control is
         given in AGTTM Part 3.
    •    Short Term / Low Impact - the controls applied in these situations recognise that the nature of the works is of such low
         impact that implementing a complex traffic management scheme is likely to increase the overall risk for all workers at
         the site. Traffic management under the ‘through’ and ‘past’ categories can apply in a short term / low impact situation.
         For short term and low impact works, the works methods are set out in AGTTM Part 5 and for static worksites see
         AGTTM Part 3

4.2 OPTIONS ASSESSMENT
As per the Option Analysis (Appendix C) optimal Traffic Management Treatments determined for the work site is:
         •   Site to be contained within fencing, operating during daylight hours only.
         •   All sites traffic PAST the work area, with speed reduction treatment applied.
         •   LONG TERM signage implementation measures shall be followed.
         •   All site deliveries to be within fenced off area with gates closed nightly to prevent site access.
         •   Road closure and Detour treatment implemented when road surface corrections are required.

4.3 SELECTED TRAFFIC AND WORKS STAGING (INCLUDING STAGING DIAGRAMS)
Staging Diagrams are deemed not required, as the traffic impact is minimal and long term.
Works will be completed under the following treatments, refer individual TGS for specific information.

    ➢ Overall Site
      •   Traffic slowed to 40 km/h.
      •   Implementation of site containment fencing.

    ➢ As Process Requires
      •    Traffic slowed to 40 km/h o n Pacific Avenue.
      •    Implementation of site containment fencing.

    ➢ As Process Requires
      •    Road Closure and Detour Implementation.
