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To show support for this new approach, CoPTTM will be superseded by the NZGTTM as the preferred guidance for managing risk at worksites.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.

The CoPTTM document is currently structured into sections. Each section provides details of a specific topic or resource, to support applying the code of practice.

These sections can be downloaded here, and hard copies can be ordered from NZ Print info@nzprint.co.nz
