NZ GUIDE TO TEMPORARY TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT (NZGTTM)
Safe, Tailored and Risk-Based Traffic Management Solutions
Tailored risk-based solutions.
With the shift to a flexible, risk-based Temporary Traffic Management (TTM) model on 1 November 2024, NZTA is retiring the former Code of Practice for Temporary Traffic Management (CoPTTM).
This transition also signals a shift in priorities, as WorkSafe now places greater value on approaches that actively assess and manage risks, rather than simply following fixed guidance.
Our Core Objective: Achieving the Lowest Total Risk
Endorsed by both WorkSafe and the NZGTTM, we are dedicated to achieving the lowest total risk—a balanced approach that prevents shifting risks from one group to another. For instance, closing a road may eliminate immediate traffic risks but could force road users onto potentially unsafe detours, meaning the lowest total risk may not be achieved. We are here to navigate these complexities, delivering solutions that balance safety and practicality at every step.
The Shift to a Risk-Based Approach
A risk-based TTM strategy is more than just “safe” — it’s smart. Our "right-sized" solutions meet the unique demands of each project. Too few safety measures increase liabilities, while too many can lead to unnecessary costs and overuse of resources. We work to strike the ideal balance, creating TTM solutions that are safe, tailored, and compliant. This ensures that every piece of TTM deployed on your site is purposeful and justified.
Getting Risk-Based TTM Right
With the NZGTTM’s new flexibility, risk-based planning can be powerful—but it also comes with its own set of challenges. Effective Temporary Traffic Management (TTM) means looking beyond just ‘risk’ to cover essentials like:
Meeting all regulatory requirements
Applying sound engineering principles
Factoring in human behaviours
Without a clear understanding of these elements, mistakes can happen—sometimes with serious consequences. At JR Civil Traffic Management Solutions we make sure every risk-based TTM solution we deliver is grounded in evidence, proven practices and solid risk management. We’ll handle the complexities, so you don’t have to.
