Traffic Management Plans

TMPs that keep people moving—and projects on schedule.

We develop clear, constructible Traffic Management Plans that align with MUTCD and state supplements (e.g., TMUTCD) and local reviewer expectations nationwide. Our plans protect people in and around work zones, maintain access for businesses and residents, and keep projects on schedule—across the U.S. and select international jurisdictions.

What is a Traffic Management Plan?

A Traffic Management Plan (TMP) is the overall strategy for handling traffic, pedestrians, cyclists, and transit during construction or special events. We deliver TMPs that adhere to MUTCD and state supplements (e.g., TMUTCD, CA MUTCD) and each agency's submittal checklists.

Permit-ready sheets

Clear sheets aligned with MUTCD, state supplements (e.g., TMUTCD), and agency submittal checklists nationwide to speed approvals.

Constructible details

Phasing, staging, and typicals that contractors can build without guesswork.

Responsive support

Fast iterations during review and field questions answered through approval.

What your TMP includes

Every plan is scoped to the site and schedule, but these are the most common components we prepare.

Control & routing

Lane closures, shifts, tapers, and detours with device spacing tables.
Pedestrian routes designed using ADA/PROWAG principles with maintainable protection and marked crossings.
Bikeway accommodations and temporary transit stop relocations (coordinated with the operator, as applicable).
Driveway and business access maintained with signed wayfinding.

Design notes & deliverables

Phasing/staging sequence and working hours.
Signing and striping layouts and typical sections.
Signal timing/coordination notes when lane configurations change; coordination with the signal owner and PE sealing where required.
Permit-ready PDF and CAD (as scoped) for contractor and reviewer use.

Our TMP Process

Focused steps with senior review each phase—so submittals are smooth and comments are minimal.

Discovery & ScopeWe align on work limits, schedule, constraints, and reviewer requirements.
Field & DataCounts, sight lines, adjacent driveways, transit stops, and pedestrian generators.
Draft TMP SheetsDetours, tapers, typicals, and notes packaged for early review.
Review IterationWe respond to comments rapidly and adjust staging if needed.
Final & SupportPermit-ready PDF/CAD and assistance through approval and pre-construction, plus quick answers about timelines, deliverables, and coordination.
