Risk-based TMP checklist

A risk-based TMP should connect the work activity, road environment, road users, exposure, timing, access, staging and selected controls in plain language.

Risk-based TMP checklist guide for New Zealand TMP, CAR and road corridor planning

Plain-English explanation

The key points, split into simple blocks so the page is useful without feeling like a wall of text.

01

Risk inputs

Document the work activity, road environment, speed, traffic volumes, vulnerable road users, exposure duration, access needs, weather, lighting and site constraints. These inputs drive control selection.

02

Control explanation

For each control, explain what risk it addresses and why it is suitable for the site. Controls that are copied without explanation invite RFIs and may not protect workers adequately.

03

Review questions

Ask whether the TMP would make sense to someone who has not visited the site. If the reasoning is not obvious from the document, add a plain-language note.

FAQ

Common questions

Who reviews the TMP or CAR?

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.
