What exactly is traffic control?

Traffic control involves moving pedestrians or vehicles around a construction zone, worksite, event or accident.

Why do I need to have a traffic management plan created for my project or event?

A traffic management plan has to be created by a person(s) with relevant state approval, and it must detail the work undertaken and the foreseeable impact involved with this type of work.

Who needs traffic control permits?

All contractors conducting work on, or nearby, roads. Without a permit, state road authorities, councils or WorkSafe inspectors can shut down your project and you may be issued with a heavy fine.

I want to hire portable traffic lights for my roadwork project, what power base do I need to run them?

The portable traffic lights are battery-powered with solar powered backup recharging the battery.

Why should we complete a hazard assessment (pre-start) prior to beginning our project?

Hazard assessments (pre-starts) are necessary to ensure the safety of all workers involved in the project, as well as the pedestrian and vehicular traffic that needs to move through the construction zone.
