1Introduction and purpose#

This Technical Note provides worked examples of the Traffic Guidance Scheme (TGS) development applicable for various work and road type scenarios.

These worked examples are based on:

• the Australian Standard AS 1742.3:2019 Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices, Part 3: Traffic Control for Works on Roads and
• the Austroads Guide to Temporary Traffic Management series (AGTTM) Edition 1 published December 2019,

and relevant temporary traffic management guidance in force at 1 August 2021 in Queensland, including:

• the Queensland Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (Queensland MUTCD),
• Queensland Guide to Temporary Traffic Management (QGTTM), and
• the Guideline – Traffic Management at Works on Roads.

The purpose of this Technical Note is to provide assistance to Traffic Management Designers in applying the requirements of the harmonised AGTTM approach in designing TGSs by providing a worked example with explanations and references to given scenarios.

References provided with the worked examples are generally to the Queensland documents (Queensland MUTCD and QGTTM) which give head of power to the Australian Standard AS1742.3 and the AGTTM for use in Queensland.

The layout and order of the temporary traffic management (TTM) elements of TGS designs may be arranged a few different ways. The worked examples in this document are just one example the Designer in this case has chosen to adopt in order to address the provided scenarios.

The worked examples included in this Technical Note will be added to over time as further scenarios are developed.

These worked example TGSs shall not be used as generic traffic guidance schemes or for any other purpose.
