When larger work areas are required and traffic flow past the work area is not viable, road closures are the solution. Traffic can be sent via alternative routes so that the entire width of the road can be utilised for the works (or event) taking place.

After the road closure is put in place, we can station gatemen at the closure locations to ensure the works (or events) are carried out safely.

We can make bespoke and/or custom-worded advanced warning signs in-house and install these ahead of any closure informing the public of the dates and times of the closure. From early planning to obtaining permits, installing, maintaining, hiring, and removing equipment, we can help at every step.

At Traffic Management London Ltd we liaise with local authorities and emergency services before putting a road closure into place. We can obtain relevant information about possible bottlenecks, patterns of traffic flow, and detours that are appropriate for emergency vehicles.

If you have any Road Closure and Diversion planning requirements that you need help with, do not hesitate to contact us and we will be happy to help.

Traffic Management Plans (TMP / CTMP) FAQs

What is a Traffic Management Plan (TMP) and why is it needed?

A TMP is a detailed plan that shows how traffic (vehicular, pedestrian) will be controlled and diverted during construction roadworks, events, tree surgery etc ensuring safety and compliance with local authority/highway regulations.

When is a TMP required?

Usually for any works on or adjacent to public highways, road closures, lane closures, diversions, or where traffic will be disrupted. Many local authorities/planning departments require approval of TMPs before granting permits or planning consents.

How long does it take to prepare a TMP?

Standard turnaround for a TMP is two working days. If you require a faster turnaround, or even same day, please contact us as we are usually able to accommodate such requests.

What information do you need from me to prepare a TMP?

If can let us know your event or works area and the area you require to be closed from the public, we can then work out the traffic management solution around that.

Do you liaise with local authorities / highway departments?

Yes. We can manage approval submissions to local authorities, ensure compliance with their standards, address comments, and resubmit if needed.

What if the local authority rejects my TMP?

We will revise the plan according to their feedback, address concerns, and resubmit. Our experience and knowledge of local authority requirements help minimise rejection rates.

Can I modify a TMP mid-project?

Yes, although changes require updating the plan, re-evaluating impact (especially for safety), communicating with stakeholders, and possibly re-submitting to the authority. We can support modifications. Depening on what the changes are, there may be a charge.
