Pedestrian Management Plan

Pedestrian Management Plans For Construction Sites

TSS’s management team have over 45 years of experience in the building and construction industry, so we’ve seen our fair share of pedestrian traffic control plans. We know what a comprehensive pedestrian traffic control plan in Sydney looks like and we go to great lengths to ensure yours covers absolutely everything. Your plan should include;

• Clearly marked pedestrian walkways. These walkways should be separate from traffic thoroughfares and should always take as direct a route as possible. It’s also essential that these walkways are never blocked or inaccessible, as we don’t want pedestrians to step out onto designated vehicle routes to get around whatever is blocking their path. 
• Designated vehicle exclusion zones. Places pedestrians are likely to congregate, such as tea rooms, amenities, and pedestrian entrances require clear definition as vehicle exclusion zones. Likewise, secure off pedestrian exclusion zones around mobile machinery with signage and traffic control barriers. 
• Traffic controllers at entrances and exits. These controllers can monitor traffic and keep pedestrians. You can also provide mirrors, stop signs, and warning devices at these points to improve pedestrian visibility to drivers.
• Designated parking areas. Provide areas outside the construction site for workers and visitors to park their cars, thereby minimising traffic onsite. 

Pedestrian Management Plans For Shopping Centers

Traffic at shopping centres usually includes passenger cars, trolleys, trucks, and pedestrians (customers, employees, and business owners). This can make for a busy traffic environment and anyone who has been in Sydney shopping centres around Christmas time know just how busy shopping centre car parks and roads can get. It’s so essential that a comprehensive pedestrian management plan is implemented at every shopping centre to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all parties using the space. Your traffic and pedestrian management plan for Sydney shopping centres should include;

• Clearly identified pedestrian walkways with direct routes in and out of the centre. These routes must never be blocked, as this may result in pedestrians to step out onto routes designated for vehicles.
• Clearly identified and readily accessible trolley return points.
• Footpaths that guide pedestrians to bus stops and taxi ranks.
• Wide footpaths that cater to strollers, shopping trolleys, wheelchairs, and electric scooters to easily pass by one another.
• Parking for the elderly, disabled, and parents with prams that are close to pedestrian walkways, entrances, and crossings yet far from major traffic routes.
