What exactly is traffic control?
Traffic control involves moving pedestrians or vehicles around a construction zone, worksite, event or accident.
2
Why do I need to have a traffic management plan created for my project or event?
A traffic management plan has to be created by a person(s) with relevant state approval, and it must detail the work undertaken and the foreseeable impact involved with this type of work.
3
Who needs traffic control permits?
All contractors conducting work on, or nearby, roads. Without a permit, state road authorities, councils or WorkSafe inspectors can shut down your project and you may be issued with a heavy fine.

I want to hire portable traffic lights for my roadwork project, what power base do I need to run them?
The portable traffic lights are battery-powered with solar powered backup recharging the battery.

Why should we complete a hazard assessment (pre-start) prior to beginning our project?
Hazard assessments (pre-starts) are necessary to ensure the safety of all workers involved in the project, as well as the pedestrian and vehicular traffic that needs to move through the construction zone.
