Traffic Management Plans
Contact UsA site-specific plan for controlling traffic risk
WorkSafeBC defines a traffic-control plan as a workplace-specific document describing the measures and devices used to address hazards from the risk assessment, how they will be implemented, and on what schedule. See the current definition and requirements in Part 18 of the OHS Regulation.
A traffic-management submission may also include broader construction phasing, access, transit, cycling, pedestrian, notification, and detour information required by the road authority. Terminology and submission requirements vary, so the plan must be built for the specific authority and project—not copied from another site.
Inputs needed for useful planning
- Current site plan, road geometry, and work limits
- Work sequence, dates, hours, equipment, and deliveries
- Road authority, permit path, and known submission standards
- Traffic, transit, cycling, pedestrian, business, and resident access impacts
- Emergency routes, sight distance, work-zone hazards, and changing phases
From approval to field execution
Approval is not the end of the process. The field team needs the current approved version, permit conditions, site-specific orientation, assigned supervision, and a process for reviewing the risk assessment when the work or conditions change.
Safeside can review the requested planning and implementation scope. Authority submission, professional certification, or engineering responsibility is included only when explicitly confirmed for the project.
Frequently asked questions
Is a traffic management plan the same as a traffic-control plan?
The terms are sometimes used differently by authorities. WorkSafeBC defines the workplace-specific traffic-control plan; municipalities may request a broader traffic-management package. Follow the terminology and content required for the exact project.
Can I reuse a plan from another project?
No plan should be reused without a site-specific review. Road geometry, traffic, hazards, access, work methods, schedule, and authority conditions can all change the required controls.
Plan traffic management plans for your project
Send the site, schedule, approved plan, permit conditions, and expected road impacts so Safeside can confirm scope and availability.
