         sequence may need to be adopted to address any site-specific circumstances and can be approved by TMD or other
         authorised person.

         The general procedure for setting up a site is to:
              1. locate the work area using GPS, landmarks, side streets, chainage
              2. install devices as outlined in the TGS for side streets first
              3. install devices as outlined in the TGS for the non-working lane (un-effected direction)
              4. install devices as outlined in the TGS for the working lane (affected direction) to complete installation
              5. conduct a drive through inspection after all devices are in place and before work commences

         Removal of the TTM is usually considered more dangerous as crews may be fatigued, may be in a rush to get home, and
         often as traffic management is removed there may be no advanced warning to alert drivers to the presence of the
         workers. A risk assessment on each site should be taken into consideration prior to the removal process. As part of this
         assessment, what has been happening on site (during that road work period) should be also considered as it will
         represent the type of road user behaviours that have been observed in that location.

         Considerations should include the:
             a. duration of the roadwork
             b. length of the site
             c. complexity of the site
             d. original speed of the road
             e. speeds observed during road work
             f. time of day
             g. type of conditions (haze / sun glare etc.).

         The general procedure for removing a site is the:
              1. work area (devices in reverse order)
              2. affected side of roadway (signage in direction of travel)
              3. non-affected side of roadway (signage and devices in direction of travel)
              4. side roads (closure devices then signage in direction of travel)
              5. detours (in direction of travel).

    d) Section 6.7 – Orientation of Signs and Devices
       Signs are to face towards approaching traffic approximately at right angles to the line of sight from the driver to the
       sign.

         At curved right alignments, the sign should be placed approximately at right angles to the line of sight of a motorist
         50m in advance of the sign

    e) Section 6.8 - Tolerances
       Adjustments to a TTM installation are the relocation of signs and devices within approved tolerances. Any changes that
       exceed tolerances are classed as a modification and must be endorsed and authorised by a TMD. If signs and devices
       are required to be moved due to obstructions, and relocation exceeds tolerances, the TMI must contact the TMD for
       instruction on alternate installation methods or options.

         a)   Tolerances for placement of signs are:
              i. up to 10% less than the distances given
              ii. up to 25% more than the distances given
         b)   Tolerances for placement of delineation is:
              i. no minimum and up to 10% more the distances given
         c)   Tolerances for taper lengths are:
               i. up to 10% less than the distances given
               ii. up to 25% more than the distances given

Any sign or device location adjustments are to be marked and initialled on the TGS held on site, with the name of the person
making the adjustments clearly shown.
