NZTA has developed a new approach to temporary traffic management on New Zealand’s state highways and roads. The New Zealand guide to temporary traffic management (NZGTTM) outlines a risk-based approach to TTM which aligns with WorkSafe’s Good Practice Guidelines: Keeping healthy and safe while working on the road or roadside.
NZTA is adopting the guidance at our worksites across our transport network. We’re working closely with our contractors and TTM suppliers to transition now. Over time the NZGTTM will eventually replace CoPTTM.
To show support for this new approach, CoPTTM will be superseded by the NZGTTM as the preferred guidance for managing risk at worksites.
From 1 November 2024, CoPTTM will still be accessible on the NZTA website, however it will not be updated or maintained by NZTA.
NZTA recommends RCAs and contractors to follow the NZGTTM.

Traffic management across New Zealand’s network of state highways and local roads is fundamental to keeping people safe on our roads. Our roads are used daily by vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians, and have many people working on them. Changes to the operation of these roads under temporary traffic management is a core activity on the network, providing safety and access to all road users and workers.
NZTA is responsible for setting the requirements for the safe and efficient management and operation of temporary traffic management (TTM) on all roads in New Zealand.
The CoPTTM website provides information relating to the application of the CoPTTM.
