2.8Event staging plans#
A staging plan (or diagram) should be prepared for each stage of the event to illustrate the general traffic management arrangements. Each staging plan should include clear details of elements such as:
- event location
- traffic routes for general traffic, public transport, active transport users
- event access routes and locations
- emergency access routes
- locations and details of affected local stakeholders
- notes on traffic control requirements
- delivery routes / locations
- spectator areas, and
- parking.
It should be noted that staging plans are not TGSs. While staging plans should be prepared to scale to demonstrate the viability of the proposed arrangements in a site-specific manner, they do not need to show individual traffic control devices or signs.
Staging plans are useful for:
- stakeholder communication
- coordination with other activities
- resource planning, and
- ensuring setup / switchover issues are not overlooked
