Traffic Management Hire Rates Guide

Now to give you a yardstick, here are some rough estimates on traffic management plans for recent major projects that you might be familiar with:

Predicting the cost of a traffic management plan is complex, because there are so many contingencies and because the location, job complexity, and local councils play major roles in whether you can execute your plan or not. A traffic management plan quote will vary based on the following complex contingencies:

• Size and Project Complexity: Larger projects that require multiple road closures or detours will typically be more expensive due to the increased planning and resources required.
• Location: Costs can vary by state or territory due to different regulations and the cost of living in different areas.
• Duration of the Work: Longer projects may require more extensive traffic management plans, including provisions for changing conditions over time.
• Local and State Government Requirements: Different local government councils or state authorities (like Queensland Transport, or Vic Roads) may have specific requirements that can affect the complexity and therefore the cost of the traffic management plan.
• Consultation and Design Fees: Professional traffic management companies charge for the time it takes to design and consult on the plan.
• Implementation Costs: This includes the cost of signage, barriers, traffic controllers, and any other equipment needed to implement the plan.

For some smaller jobs, a traffic management plan can be a very small affair, including a document, a guy holding a stop-go sign and some traffic cones.

Developing Custom Traffic Management Plans

Custom traffic management plans are vital for addressing the safety and convenience of the local motorists and community around the project. Experienced traffic management planners assess the project site, consider factors like traffic volume, pedestrian flow and construction activities and develop a plan that minimises disruptions while maximising safety.

Custom plans are expensive (as our rates guide above demonstrates) and range from simple directives for small projects to complex strategies for major infrastructure works implemented over the many years a project takes to complete. Here are the usual steps in this process (which also highlights why they are so expensive, given how many steps and hours are involved):

• Initial Site Assessment: Evaluating the site for traffic flow, hazards and environment. This step is crucial for understanding the area's specific traffic management needs and potential challenges.
• Stakeholder Consultation: Involving local authorities, event organisers or construction teams. This collaboration ensures that all parties' requirements and concerns are considered in the plan.
• Designing the Plan: Drafting a layout that includes signage, barrier placements and traffic diversions. This stage involves creating detailed diagrams and route plans to guide traffic effectively.
• Risk Analysis, SWMS and Risk Mitigation: Identifying potential risks and devising strategies to mitigate them. This analysis is vital to ensure the public and workers' safety, addressing possible traffic hazards.
• Regulatory Compliance Check: Ensuring the plan adheres to local and national traffic laws. Compliance with regulations is essential to avoid legal issues and ensure public safety.
• Implementation Strategy: Planning for the deployment of traffic control equipment and personnel. This step involves logistical planning for the timely and efficient setup of traffic control measures.
• Monitoring and Adjustment: Continuously assessing the effectiveness of the traffic management plan. Real-time monitoring allows for adjustments to be made as needed, ensuring ongoing effectiveness and safety.
• Post-Event Analysis: Reviewing the plan's performance to identify areas for improvement. This final step is crucial for learning and refining future traffic management strategies.

Each step is critical to developing a comprehensive and effective traffic management plan, ensuring safety and smooth operation in various traffic scenarios.
