2 2 The team provides approval to ensure that effective traffic management solutions are implemented to minimise disruption of planned events and major capital works.

3 3 Clint Cooper RPI Manager Bruce King - RPI Co-Ordinator, North Andrew Reilly RPI Officer Tim Lam RPI Officer Matt Barnsley RPI Officer Michael Priest RPI Co-Ordinator, South and Perth Stadium Event Management Gregory Gendron RPI Officer Brett Robson RPI Officer

4 4 Any of the following scenarios: Alteration to the traffic signal display e.g. masking of signals, flashing yellow etc.; Closure of a traffic lane within 30m of a signalised intersection

5 5 Closure of any part of a signalised dedicated turning lane; or Impacts to the signalised pedestrian crossings Variations to Standards or Codes of Practice (on Main Roads) See section of the Code of Practice for more information

6 6 Site specific traffic management plan RTM endorsement Local Government Agency review with acceptance or approval Variations signed by appropriate body which may be the LGA if they are the road authority RPI review does not commence until all of the above criteria are satisfied All submissions shall be submitted to

7 7 Have the necessary approvals/endorsements been obtained? Is the proposed solution reasonable with respect to timing/volumes and signal operation? Is it likely that manual modifications to the signals will be required (signal phasing/timing changes)? Are signal loops likely to be damaged? Are there any conflicts between banned turning movements and signalised right/left turn lanterns? Does the TMP contain any proposed detours that will impact upon the wider network? What are the impacts of the aftercare treatment on the operation of the traffic signals?

8 8 Timeframes for approval: State Controlled roads 15 business days prior to works commencing. Local Government roads through traffic signals 15 days prior to the work commencing. TMP s sent to Main Roads shall have RTM endorsement and be authorised by the relevant Local Government. See section of the Code of Practice for more information Complex projects/events will require additional time

9 9 Indicates first cone on the road not complete setup

10 10 Provide advice and feedback to stakeholders Issue approved LM drawings Consult with SCATS Team Inform Main Roads Communications Team Relay closure information to the Traffic Signal Operators Provide support to the Road Network Operations Centre (RNOC) Control Room staff Arrange audits of high risk/impact work activities Check for conflicting work Investigate non-compliance or underperformance of companies registered with the TMCRS

11 11 RPI administers the Traffic Management Company Registration Scheme The main objectives of the registration scheme are to: Improve the quality and consistency of traffic management on site Increase the safety of the public and road workers Raise industry standards and improve industry image Establish feedback mechanisms and tangible consequences for companies that fail to implement correct traffic management.

12 12 Each company is issued with a unique registration number Permits TM implementation on Main Roads controlled assets Portfolios are kept to highlight performance issues There are consequences for substandard performance Please explain requests Face to face meetings with company officers Suspension or deregistration are possible Remember that the company implementing the controls bears the responsibility!

13 13 Registered Companies* 3% 1% 24% 39% Traffic Management Contractor Local Government State Government Main Roads ISA 33% * As of September 17, 2018

14 14 Size of signs/readability Traffic assessments Accuracy More than TFD/SCATS data in Appendix Timing of work 9:00am-3:00pm Variations Notes in title blocks Staging of work

15 15 Sign sizes must be large enough to be read so that they can be effectively implemented.

16 16 7am 8am = 379 vehicles Missed 616 vehicles! Assume a lane closure of one of the 2 NB lanes on approach to the signals

17 17 Beware of turning lanes without detectors when conducting a traffic flow assessments.

29 29 If the activity is within 30m of traffic signals RPI approval is required Submissions must be complete prior to being assessed Sufficient time to process the plan and provide necessary notifications (minimum 15 working days) is imperative to the success of the process Significant events or work will require additional approval time

30 Thank You Any Questions?

31 31 Will the activity have an impact upon pedestrian movements? Conversely, will pedestrian movements impact upon traffic movements? For example: The entire traffic stream has been reduced to one lane on approach to the traffic signals, and; there is a fully protected pedestrian crossing which under the temporary traffic control arrangement will result in the entire stream being delayed for 12 seconds. If there are impacts to the signalised pedestrian crossings, have safe pedestrian detours been provided?
