Traffic Management Plans

When you’re running a construction site, keeping people, vehicles and equipment moving safely is essential. 

At Orange Scaffolding, we make that simple. 

    Got a Question?

    Our team provides clear, practical construction traffic management plans that integrate with our scaffolding and site safety services. From small inner-city sites to large commercial builds, we support projects across New Zealand with responsive planning that keeps things moving. 

    We design every traffic control plan with one goal in mind: smooth, safe, compliant access for everyone on and around your site. 

    Explore our range of traffic planning services below. 

    What Is a Construction Traffic Management Plan (CTMP)?

    A Construction Traffic Management Plan (CTMP) outlines how vehicles and pedestrians move around your site during construction. 

    It keeps people safe, traffic flowing, and your project on track. 

    We work closely with your team to map out the safest and most efficient way to manage vehicles and public areas during the build. 

    A well-designed CTMP will: 

    • Protect workers and the public from hazards 
    • Comply with NZTA and local guidelines 
    • Improve access for deliveries, trades and materials 
    • Reduce delays caused by onsite congestion 

    Every plan is tailored to your site layout, local road network, and scope of work. For more detail, refer to NZTA’s standards here. 

    Site Traffic Management Plans

    When work is underway on-site, a reliable site traffic management plan makes all the difference. 

    We look at how vehicles, pedestrians, machinery and scaffold access all interact. Then we create a plan that keeps everything – and everyone – moving safely. 

    Common elements include: 

    • Site entry and exit routes 
    • Material delivery zones 
    • Equipment loading areas 
    • Clear pedestrian access paths 
    • Safety signage and directional markers 

    Our plans are built specifically for sites that include scaffolding and vertical access. That means we already understand the space and safety you need to operate efficiently. 

    Temporary and Roadwork Traffic Management

    Some projects work close to roads, footpaths, or public spaces. That’s where a temporary traffic management plan comes in. 

    We take care of planning, approvals and implementation so your team can carry out work with minimal disruption and full legal compliance. 

    These plans typically include: 

    • Lane closures for scaffold installation or crane lifts 
    • Pedestrian diversions for safety 
    • Traffic signage and cones 
    • Vehicle access controls 
    • Operating hours to suit local regulations 

    You’ll have clear control during short-term activities like site setup, removals, or utility access. 

    More detailed guidance is available on the NZTA website. 

    Traffic Control Plans for Construction Sites

    A solid traffic control plan maps out where everything goes, when it moves, and how it all works together. 

    These are essential on busy construction sites where deliveries, large vehicles and multiple teams are in play. 

    Our layouts typically include: 

    • Clearly marked access points 
    • Temporary fences or barriers 
    • Speed limits and warning signage 
    • Flaggers or trained traffic controllers 
    • Safe zones for plant and personnel 

    With Orange Scaffolding, your control plan won’t just meet compliance – it will make daily site operations easier from day one. 

    Pedestrian And Workplace Traffic Management

    Every project has a mix of people on-site – builders, contractors, clients, and sometimes the public moving nearby. 

    Our traffic and pedestrian management plans are designed to guide them all safely through and around the work area. 

    We use practical tools to separate vehicles from foot traffic and reduce confusion around site access. 

    Best practices we apply: 

    1. Designated pedestrian routes 
    1. Safety fencing and temporary barriers 
    1. High-visibility signage 
    1. Staff escorts or crossing points where needed 

    We consider safety from the moment scaffold goes up to the last day of pack-down. 

    Compliance and NZTA Standards

    All our traffic planning services are built to meet New Zealand’s high safety and compliance standards. 

    We produce NZTA-approved traffic management plans and manage the relevant approvals with your local authorities. 

    Our compliance process includes: 

    • Plans developed by certified professionals 
    • Required council consents and submissions 
    • Traffic Management Controller input where needed 
    • Regular updates as site conditions change 

    We stay up to date, so your project stays protected.

    Cost and Customisation

    Every site is different – we make sure our pricing is transparent and fair. 

    Your traffic management plan cost is based on site complexity, location, number of controls, and time on site. 

    Do you need more than just a basic plan? We’ve got options and packages that suit projects that are big or small. 

    Optional add-ons include: 

    • Traffic cones, barriers and control equipment 
    • Multi-day or staged access planning 
    • NZTA permit coordination 
    • Pedestrian traffic and fence setups 

    Streamline your build cost further by bundling with our scaffolding or site safety services.
