Levels of temporary traffic management (TTM): diagrams

All state highways are classified as a particular TTM level dependent on the traffic volumes. Four levels of TTM are described within the code and, in increasing order of complexity, these are:

• Level LV - Low Volume Roads (AADT less than 500vpd)
• Level 1 - Low to Moderate Volume Roads (AADT 500 to 10,000vpd)
• Level 2 - High Volume Roads (AADT greater than 10,000vpd)
• Level 3 - High Volume, High Speed Multi-lane Roads, Expressways and Motorways (AADT greater than 10,000vpd and speed greater than 75 km/h)

It should be noted that all state highways are classified as level 1 TTM unless shown otherwise on the maps listed.

Signs used for temporary traffic management

For the dimensional, colour and layout requirements for traffic signs in New Zealand see the Traffic sign specifications section of the Traffic control devices manual.

To get a GIF image of a particular sign (eg to use in a traffic management diagram) follow the Get GIF image of sign instructions.
