Vehicle crossing TMP guide

Vehicle crossing TMPs need clear frontage, footpath, pedestrian, driveway, concrete pour, access and CAR information so the authority can understand the temporary impact.

Plain-English explanation

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

01

Typical work sequence

Vehicle crossing work usually involves berm preparation, footpath and kerb cuts or adjustments, excavation, formwork and concrete pour, curing, reinstatement and final cleanup. The TMP needs to show how pedestrians, driveway access and street parking are managed at each stage.

02

Pedestrian details

Crossing work commonly interrupts the footpath. The TMP should show the temporary pedestrian route, width, surface, crossing points and any accessibility needs. A poorly described pedestrian route is one of the most common causes of RFI.

03

What to send

Send the address, crossing drawings or dimensions, construction method, concrete pour timing, footpath and berm impacts, photos and any existing CAR reference. The more the designer can see the frontage, the fewer assumptions are needed.

Contractor checklist

Before you request help

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.
