Faster decisions before you request support
- Confirm the work location and RCA
- Describe the work method and staging
- Collect plans, photos and dates
- Check pedestrian, cyclist and property access impacts
Plain-English explanation
The key points, split into simple blocks so the page is useful without feeling like a wall of text.
Shoulder risk factors
Shoulder work happens beside live traffic. Speed, heavy vehicles, narrow shoulders, drop-offs, cyclists and weather all affect risk. The TMP should explain how workers and plant are separated from live traffic.
Access and egress
Work vehicles need safe places to enter and exit the shoulder. The TMP should show where plant parks, how it gets on and off the shoulder, and what protection is in place while that happens.
High-speed caution
On high-speed roads, shoulder closures often need greater advance warning, longer tapers and more robust separation. Do not assume a low-speed urban layout will work on a rural arterial or state highway.
Before you request help
- Confirm the work location and RCA
- Describe the work method and staging
- Collect plans, photos and dates
- Check pedestrian, cyclist and property access impacts
- Keep TMP, CAR and WAP details aligned
Common questions
Who reviews the TMP or CAR?
The relevant council, RCA or network owner reviews the submission. Our role is to help make the information clearer, more complete and easier to respond to.
What do you need before starting?
Send the work location, scope, dates, site plans or markups, methodology, hours of work, access needs, photos if available, and any RCA comments already received.
Can you work with our on-road crew or traffic management provider?
Yes. Your TMP Designer can provide the planning, documentation and drawing support and can also scope on-road establishment and traffic management for the job.
