What is a Traffic Management Plan (TMP)?

A TMP shows how site-specific works are integrated into the operation of the road network and additionally provides for the safety of workers and road users while maintaining the service provided by the road network. Management of work on roads must balance the need to protect road workers from traffic, while maintaining a safe and efficient road network for road users including vulnerable road users. The process of developing a TMP must be monitored and reviewed to ensure it is completed effectively. The purpose of a TMP is to assist in providing a safe work environment while maintaining a safe and efficient journey for all road users.
