Version 1

Waka Kotahi is committed to Road to Zero – a safer Aotearoa New Zealand where no one is killed or seriously injured on our roads.

This vision extends to the importance of keeping our road workers and road users safe when temporary traffic is required. 

That’s why version 1 of the New Zealand guide to temporary traffic management has been developed for use by Waka Kotahi, its partners and the sector.

The guide uses a risk-based approach that places people at the heart of how we plan and manage temporary traffic.

The new approach prioritises the safety of road workers and road users – it puts risk management planning for TTM first, before decisions on what TTM control types, design and equipment are made.
