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To show support for this new approach, CoPTTM will be superseded by the NZGTTM as the preferred guidance for managing risk at worksites.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

Changes to TTM warrant system 

From 1 November 2024 NZTA ceases administration and registration of TTM warrants where there is an identical unit standard offering.

This change saw TMO-NP, TMO, STMS Universal, STMS (A/B/C) -NP, and STMS (A/B/C) warrants turned off and unit standards 31958, 31959, 31960, 31961, 31962, and 31963 delivered through Connexis using current TTM trainers and assessors and existing training material that NZTA has shared with Connexis.

NZTA has made the decision to discontinue the supply of physical warrant ID cards

We encourage you to familiar yourself with our public search tool(external link), as this will become the main way of providing evidence of your warrant when cards are discontinued.

More information can be found in the February 2024 Road works safety and TTM update(external link).

Warrant processing delays

Workshops and assessments held in September 2024 are currently being processed. Once your warrant has been processed it will be visible on the public search tool(external link).
