1.0 PROJECT INFORMATION

1.1 Purpose and Scope

This Traffic Management Plan (TMP) provides the traffic management procedures to be followed
by the contractors and subcontractors associated with the project. The traffic control devices will
be established on-site by Traffic Services Pty Ltd prior to commencing work on the road. The
devices shall be inspected periodically throughout the day and will be taken down at the end of the
working day.
The project involves the construction of a 550mm sewer main on the eastern road verge of
Wanneroo Road from the manhole at the intersection of Gnangara Road to the manhole opposite
Temporary Gnangara Pump Station No. 902-32, a length of 80 metres.
The works include the reconstruction of the 2.0 metre wide dual-use path from Gnangara Road to
the bus shelter. t also includes the construction of a new concrete driveway at the northern end of
the bus embayment.

1.2 Project Location
The Wanneroo Road/Gnangara Road intersection is located in Madeley, within the City of
Wanneroo. The work area is indicated in Figure 1.0, below.

Figure 1.0 Locality Plan.

1.3 Site Constraints/Impacts

Wanneroo Road is under care, control and management of MRWA and is a primary distributor
carrying a large portion (approx 15%) of commercial and industrial traffic from the northern suburbs
to the City. The current daily weekday traffic flow on Wanneroo Road is approximately 34,846 vpd.
Details of traffic volume counts are contained in Appendix A. Gnangara Road is a local
distributor road, carrying approximately 3,000 vehicles per day.
MRWA's Traffic Management for Works on Roads Code of Practice requires the retention of the
number of traffic lanes on all roads adjacent to the works to comply with the requirements of
Australian Standard AS 1742.3-2002.

1.4 Traffic Management Objectives and Strategies

The objectives of the TMP are to:
Provide for a safe environment for all road users;
Provide protection to workers, visitors, agents of the Contractor and the general public from
traffic hazards that may arise as a result of the construction activity;
Minimise the disruption, congestion and delays to all road users;
To ensure network performance is maintained at an acceptable level throughout the term of the
work;
Ensure access to adjacent commercial premises is maintained at all times.

To achieve the above objectives, the Traffic Management Plan will:
Ensure whenever possible, that a sufficient number of traffic lanes to accommodate vehicle
traffic volumes are provided.
Ensure that delays and traffic congestion are kept to a minimum and within acceptable levels
Ensure that appropriate/sufficient warning and information signs are installed and that
adequate guidance is provided to delineate the travel paths through the work site.
Ensure that the work area is free of hazards and that all road users are adequately protected
from excavations and obstructions.
Ensure that all needs of road users, motorists, pedestrians, cyclists, public transport
passengers and people with disabilities are accommodated at and through the work site.
Provide for work activities to be undertaken sequentially to reduce the adverse impacts of the
work.
Provide for safety procedures to enable work personnel to enter and leave the work area in a
safe manner.

1.5 ResponsibiIities

Bob Plumbers Pty Ltd will take the utmost care to prevent the risk of injury and/or property damage
to employees, subcontractors, other contractors, road users and members of the public.

Work will not commence until all appropriate signs, devices and barricades are in place and in
accordance with the requirements of the Traffic Management Plan. All necessary signs and traffic
control devices will be installed at the work site to direct and regulate traffic movements around the
work activity and ensure that adverse impacts associated with the works are kept to a minimum.

2.0 WORKS ON ROAD

2.1 Project Scope

Scope of Project The project involves the construction of a 550mm sewer main on the eastern road
verge of Wanneroo Road, south of Gnangara Road for a distance of 80 metres.
Road Authority Main Roads WA
Local Government City of Wanneroo
Client Water Corporation
Prime Contractor Bob Plumbers Pty Ltd
DetaiIs of Works
The works to be undertaken involve the excavation of a trench from the south-eastern corner of Wanneroo
Road and Gnangara Road on the eastern road verge for the construction of a 550mm sewer main.
t will be necessary to demolish and remove the existing concrete dual-use path on the eastern road verge
between Gnangara Road and the bus shelter, which is on the alignment of the sewer. The trench will need
to be excavated with the excavator positioned adjacent to the kerb because of the existing retaining wall on
the street alignment boundary. The 550mm sewer main is to be laid to the design levels and gradients.
Following the backfilling and compacting of the trench, the 2.0metre wide dual use path and concrete cross-
over is to be constructed.
Staging of Work
The work will be progressed in the following stages:
Stage 1 - Demolition and removal of the concrete footpath on the eastern side of Wanneroo Road
between Gnanagra Road and the Bus Stop. Removal of the Bus Shelter. The truck removing
the spoil and delivering material to the site will be contained in the bus embayment.
Stage 2 - Excavation of trench to lay the 550 mm sewer main from the manhole located on the south-
eastern corner of the intersection. The excavation will be backfilled and the excavation made
safe by 2.30pm. Work (excavation and pipe laying) will commence at the manhole opposite the
pump station until the end of the work day at 5.50pm.
Stage 3 - The excavation and pipe laying for the sewer main linking the two sections will be completed.
The backfilled trenches will be compacted in layers.
Stage 4 - The formwork for the concrete path is to be set-up. Concrete will be placed for the dual-use
path and driveway to the corner property.
Stage 5 - Re-instatement of grassed verge and bus shelter.
Project Date 31 March, 2007

2.2 Existing Traffic and Speed Environment

The current daily weekday traffic flow on Wanneroo Road is approximately 38,222 vpd. Details of
traffic volume counts are contained in Appendix A. The existing speed limit for that section of
Wanneroo Road, the subject of the proposed roadworks, is 70km/h. Gnangara Road is a local
distributor road carrying approximately 3,000 vehicles per day where the sign posted speed limit
is 70 km/h.
Part of the works will necessitate the closure of the southbound kerbside traffic lane in Stage 2 of
the works to provide a safe workplace for the construction plant associated with the sewer
construction.
The remaining part of the works will necessitate only a partial closure of the kerbside traffic lane
(4.8 metres wide) to maintain a 1.2 metre clearance to the traffic lane. Traffic cones will be
established to delineate the edge of the traffic lane.

2.3 RoIes and ResponsibiIities

The Project Manager has the ultimate responsibility and authority to ensure the TMP is
implemented for the prevention of property damage and injury to employees, contractors, sub-
contractors, road users and all members of the public. He will ensure all site personnel are fully
aware of their responsibilities, and traffic-controllers are appropriately trained and accredited. He
will ensure that sufficient controllers are available to ensure appropriate breaks are taken.

All personnel engaged in the field activities will follow the correct work practices as required by
AS1742.3. The Superintendent's Representative shall be notified should a situation arise that is

be implemented with due consideration and in accordance with the following legislative,
environment and industry standards:
Occupational Safety and Health Act 1984 and Regulations 1996
Road Traffic Act
Australian Standard AS 1742.3 2002 - Traffic control devices for works on roads
Risk Management Standard AS/NZS 4360:2004
Australian Standard - Mobility and Access Standard for People with Disabilities AS 1428
Traffic Control Handbooks HB 81 series
MRWA - Traffic Management for Works on Roads Code of Practice
Utility Providers Code of Practice
Local Government Act

Traffic Services Pty Ltd shall ensure that the requirements of these documents and other relevant
information will be monitored and the Traffic Management Plan adjusted to meet changing
requirements where necessary.

4.3 Traffic Assessment (VehicuIar Traffic)

4.3.1 VoIume and Composition
Volumes used in this report are based on average Monday to Friday traffic figures derived from
historical counts. Australian Standard AS1742.3 Traffic Control Devices for Works on Roads
indicates that the mid block capacity of multi-lane roadways is 1,000 vehicles per lane per hour
(vplph) and 500 vehicles per hour within 200m of an intersection for each lane.
The traffic flows (See Appendix A) show that the two traffic lanes on Wanneroo Road are to
remain open during the majority of the daylight hours. The proposed closure of one traffic lane to
enable the works to be undertaken will be limited to between 9.00am and 2.30pm where the
southbound traffic volumes fall below 1300 vehicles per hour. A variation to the requirements of
AS 1742.3-2002 is being sought. A minimum traffic lane width of 3.5 m will be maintained
throughout the term of the work. This will accommodate the truck traffic using this section of
Wanneroo Road.

4.3.2 Existing & Proposed Speed Zones
The posted speed limit is currently 70kph. The traffic lane closure will enable workers and plant to
be contained a minimum of 1.2 metres clear of moving traffic. t will however, necessitate the
introduction of a temporary speed limit of 60kph past the work site.

4.3.3 Intersection Capacity
The work is located immediately past the intersection and as such, the closure of the slow
kerbside through traffic lane is required prior to the intersection. Southbound traffic volumes
recorded are in the order of 1 900 vph during peak hours. t is likely that allocation of additional
green time for this movement will be made for the phasing of the traffic signals. This will
accommodate the additional traffic in the single traffic lane.

t is proposed to retain the single traffic lane southbound through the intersection between the
hours of 9.00am and 2.30pm when the traffic volumes fall below that of the peak hours (See
Appendix A).

Page 11 of 34

4.3.4 Existing Parking FaciIities
There is no parking permitted within the carriageways of Wanneroo Road and Gnangara Road
where the works are being undertaken.

4.3.5 Heavy and Oversized VehicIes and Loads
Vehicle classification data indicate that approximately 15% of traffic is commercial vehicles. This
road is not a designated heavy haulage route or 'high-wide load' route, however all temporary
pavements and changes of alignment will be designed to cater for semi-trailer traffic.

4.3.6 PubIic Transport
Wanneroo Road is a public transport route with a bus stop being located south of the intersection.
The bus stop will be temporarily relocated to the north of the intersection. A hard-stand area will
be provided at the bus stop. Path Transit will post notices to users of the bus services of the
temporary changes in the week prior to the commencement of the work.

4.3.7 SpeciaI Events and Other Works
Contact with the Local Government Authority and service providers have indicated that there are
no other works expected in vicinity to the construction site. As such no impacts are expected.

4.4 Non-motorised Road Users

4.4.1 CycIists and Pedestrians
Site observation indicates that cyclists use the wide kerbside lane as an on-road facility. Cyclists
will be assisted past the work site by traffic controllers. Bus patrons are the only likely pedestrians
in the vicinity of the works (See Public Transport).

4.4.2 PeopIe with DisabiIities and Other VuInerabIe Road Users
There is no specific facility or service nearby that would increase normal use of the road facilities
by people with disabilities and other vulnerable road users.
There are no schools in the vicinity of the worksite, and no significant numbers of children are
expected.

4.4.3 SchooI Crossings
There are no school crossings in the vicinity of the worksite.

4.5 Site Assessment

4.5.1 Access to Adjoining Properties
Vehicular access to the Garden Supplies on the east side of Wanneroo Road, north of Gnangara
Road will be maintained. The layout of the traffic cones will accommodate vehicle entry and exit
from the property.

4.5.2 EnvironmentaI Conditions
Weather:
(Rain, Floods, Heat, Sun Glare, Fog)
Stormwater drainage for the existing road pavements has been installed; the works involve the
extension of the system to cater for the new road pavement, hence no significant flooding or water
sheeting is expected.
Wanneroo Road is oriented north-south; it is unlikely that sun glare would be problem for road
users. Fog is also an unlikely occurrence in this area.

Page 12 of 34

Road Geometry / Terrain:
(Horizontal and Vertical approach geometry, Safe stopping distances, Visibility, Vegetation)
The road is flat with ample sight distances on the approaches to the worksite. There are no grades
to affect deceleration or acceleration of vehicles and current geometry meets safe stopping sight
distances for the existing 70km/h zone.

Existing Signage:
(Obstruction, Visibility of temporary signage)
There are 70km/h speed limit signs erected just outside the work area, these signs will serve to re-
establish the speed limit past the work site.
There are no other traffic or advertising signs in the vicinity which could cause distractions or
confusion, or which restrict sight lines.

Other:
(Structures, Dust, Noise, Fumes)
There are no structures affecting sight lines or access. The surrounding environment is built-up
and/or landscaped. There are no significant dust-producing elements. The works being
undertaken are Off-road works and will not generate excessive dust.
The work is being carried out during normal weekday daytime hours. There are no nearby
facilities, which require specific noise limiting measures. There are no specific noise restrictions by
the Environmental Protection Agency.

4.5.3 Impact on Adjoining Road Network
t is anticipated that traffic congestion will occur when only one traffic lane southbound is in
operation. A Variable Message Sign (VMS) will be erected in advance of the preceding
intersection to alert motorists to the possible delays and to select an alternate route.

site induction program.

6.0 MONITORING AND MEASUREMENT

6.1 Site Inspections & Record Keeping
The Project Manager will ensure that the Traffic Management Plan is implemented and evaluated
for effectiveness. The Supervisor shall inspect and monitor traffic movements around the site in
conjunction with the personnel who have erected the control measures. The outcomes of the
inspection will be diarised for the information of the Project Manager.
nspections shall be undertaken as required and at a minimum on the following occasions:
Before the start of work activities on site; Closing down at the end of the shift period;
and
During the hours of work; After hours.

A daily record of the inspections should be kept indicating:
When traffic controls where erected;
When changes to controls occurred and why the changes were undertaken;
Any significant incidents or observations associated with the traffic controls and their impacts
on road users or adjacent properties.

Where significant changes to the work or traffic environment or adverse impacts are observed, the
controls should be reviewed as a matter of urgency. Daily nspection Sheets shall be completed
by the person undertaking the inspections and reviewed by the Supervisor. All variations to the
TMP/TCD, non-conformances, incidents and accidents shall be recorded. Copies of the completed
report shall be forwarded to the Project Manager. A suggested Daily nspection Report Form is at
Appendix C. One sheet per inspection should be used, with the relevant section to be filled in.

6.2 TMP Auditing

One compliance audit (using the 'Compliance Audit Checklist for Traffic Management for Works on
Roads' available on the Main Roads website) shall be conducted following setting-up of the traffic
management and prior to commencement of the works. Audit findings, recommendations and
actions taken shall be documented and copies forwarded to the Project Manager.

7.0 MANAGEMENT REVIEW

7.1 TMP Review and Improvement

As this project is of a short-term nature, a review of the effectiveness of the TMP will be
undertaken by the Project Manager as part of the close-out procedure.

7.2 Variations to Standards and PIans

The Stage 2 works involving the excavation and laying of the sewer main requires the closure of
the traffic lane adjacent to the kerbline. This in turn requires the closure of the kerbside slow
straight-through traffic lane at the approach to the signals. The traffic volume count exceeds that
prescribed in Table 4.8 of AS 1742.3-2002. A variation to this requirement has been sought and is
contained in Appendix G.

On-site variations, if required, shall generally only be made following approval by the
Superintendent's Representative and recorded in the daily diary. n emergency situations, on-site
variations shall be made and recorded in the daily diary, and the Project Manager notified as soon
as practicable.

TABLE 202B.2 - QUALITATIVE MEASURES OF LIKELIHOOD
A
Almost
certain
The event or hazard:
is expected to occur in most circumstances,
will probably occur with a Irequency in excess oI 10 times per year.
B Likely
will probably occur in most circumstances,
will probably occur with a Irequency oI between 1 and 10 times per year.
C Possible
might occur at some time,
will probably occur with a Irequency oI 0.1 to 1 times per year (i.e. once in 1 to 10 years).
D Unlikely
could occur at some time,
will probably occur with a Irequency oI 0.01 to 0.1 times per year (i.e. once in 10 to 100
years).
E Rare
may occur only in exceptional circumstances,
will probably occur with a Irequency oI less than 0.01 times per year (i.e. less than once in
100 years).

IMPORTANT NOTE: The likelihood oI an event or hazard occurring shall Iirst be assessed over the duration oI the activity (i.e. 'period oI
exposure). For risk assessment purposes the assessed likelihood shall then be proportioned Ior a 'period oI exposure oI one year
Example: An activity has a duration oI 6 weeks (i.e. 'period oI exposure 6 weeks). . The event or hazard being considered is assessed as likely to
occur once every 20 times the activity occurs (i.e. likelihood or Irequency 1 event/20 times activity occurs 0.05 times per activity). Assessed
annual likelihood or Irequency 0.05 times per activity x 52 weeks/6 weeks 0.4 times per year. Assessed likelihood C (i.e. Possible)

REQUEST FOR APPROVAL TO VARY REQUIREMENTS OF AS 1742.3 OR MRWA CODE OF PRACTICE

Anticipated start date 31/03/07 Anticipated finish date 8/04/07
Daily work hours 09:30 to 3:00 Weekend work applicable Yes No X
Location of works
(Road/Street, Suburb)
Wanneroo Road, south of Gnangara Road, Madeley
Description of works Construction of a sewer main in the eastern road verge
Road type (eg two lane undivided) Four traffic lanes divided
Posted Speed Limit 70 km/h Worksite speed limit 60 km/h After hours speed limit 70 km/h
Variation requested Closure of one traffic lane southbound on Wanneroo Road at the approach to the traffic
signals at Gnangara Road. Resultant traffic volume in the single traffic lane will be
approximately 650 vehicles per hour.
Variation AS1742.3 or Code of
Practice
Table 4.8 of AS1742.3 limits the capacity of traffic lanes within 200m of an intersection to 500
vehicles per hour per lane.
Reason for the request Connection to the sewer has to be undertaken when a shut down is permitted and cannot be
undertaken at night or the weekend
Work hours proposed 9.00am to 2.30pm
Justification Southbound traffic volume between 9.00am and 2.30pm is below 1,300 vph, it exceeds 1,400
vph after 2.30pm.
Are alterations to permanent traffic
signals required?
Yes X No N/A
Additional Green time to be allocated to Wanneroo Road
traffic in lieu of Gnangara Road. The 650 vph for the single
southbound lane will cause similar or less congestion than
that experienced in the normal evening peak hour flow.
Additional countermeasures
Variable message signboard erected north of Whitfords Avenue with the following 2 Screens
One lane only southbound and Use alternate route
