Common TMP mistakes include vague work descriptions, copied controls, missing pedestrian routes, date mismatches, unclear drawings, no access plan and incomplete responses to RCA comments.
Plain-English explanation
The key points, split into simple blocks so the page is useful without feeling like a wall of text.
01
Mistakes list
Common mistakes include vague work descriptions, copied controls that do not fit the site, missing pedestrian routes, date mismatches between TMP and CAR, unclear drawings, no access plan, no staging and incomplete responses to RCA comments.
02
Fixes
Fixes usually involve adding site-specific detail, aligning documents, improving drawings, describing pedestrian routes properly and answering each RCA comment directly. A fresh pair of eyes before submission helps.
03
When to amend
Amend the TMP when the work method, dates, staging, access or site constraints change, or when the RCA asks for changes. Keeping the TMP current protects workers and keeps the approval valid.
Contractor checklist
Before you request help
Confirm the work location and RCA
Describe the work method and staging
Collect plans, photos and dates
Check pedestrian, cyclist and property access impacts
The relevant council, RCA or network owner reviews the submission. Our role is to help make the information clearer, more complete and easier to respond to.
What do you need before starting?
Send the work location, scope, dates, site plans or markups, methodology, hours of work, access needs, photos if available, and any RCA comments already received.
Can you work with our on-road crew or traffic management provider?
Yes. Your TMP Designer focuses on the planning, documentation and drawing support around the job. If your project also needs on-road setup, equipment or training, we can keep the TMP, CAR/WAP and drawing information aligned while those field services are arranged with the right provider.
