Code of Practice for Temporary Traffic Management (CoPTTM)

If your school is organising an event which will, or may, impinge on road users, you may need to submit a Temporary Traffic Management Plan to your local district/city/regional council for approval. Some councils have adopted the Code of Practice for Temporary Traffic Management for activities on or near the road. To find out about local requirements, enquire at your local council.
