The GPS 2024-27 sets expectations around more efficient and effective temporary traffic management (TTM). One requirement is that REG publicly reports on TTM costs for all road controlling authorities as part of NZTA’s Performance and Efficiency Plan.
Workers and road users must be protected from the hazards created by a work site. However, there is also growing community dissatisfaction with the number of temporary work sites, especially the associated costs of inefficient work sites and excessive use of traffic cones. This has led to TTM being a major issue for councils and communities around the country.
REG has developed TTM reporting metrics in the Transport Insights web portal to benchmark network performance. This data will help the sector enhance its TTM effectiveness and ensure value for money by optimising resource allocation, reducing unnecessary expenses and improving safety.
REG is collecting this TTM information for Territorial Local Authorities (TLAs) on behalf of NZTA via the Transport Insights web portal. The TTM cost information will be reported quarterly to the Minister of Transport as part of the NZTA Performance and Efficiency Plan reports, and the results for each RCA will be accessible within the Transport Insights web portal. RCAs will be able to compare their performance with peers and the national results to provide insights for improvement over time.
