Traffic management in Broken Hill
The Silver City Highway is Broken Hill's lifeline connection to the broader NSW and South Australian road network, and the management of oversize loads moving to and from the city's mining and resources-sector operations requires close coordination with Transport for NSW and, for cross-border movements, the South Australian road authority. Argent Street's heritage commercial precinct and the approach roads to Broken Hill Airport require traffic management for the community events and tourism activities that play an increasing role in the Far West economy as the nature of the city's industrial activity evolves. Works on any of the limited arterial routes serving the city must account for the absence of nearby alternative routes, making road-occupancy planning and stakeholder communication more critical than in well-connected metropolitan areas.

FAQ
Swept Path Analysis — common questions
What standards do your traffic management documents follow?
In NSW, temporary traffic management documents are prepared to the Transport for NSW Traffic Control at Work Sites (TCAWS) manual, which supplements Australian Standard AS 1742.3 (traffic control for works on roads). Swept-path and vehicle-access checks reference the AS 2890 series and Austroads design vehicles. We prepare TGS and TMP documents to these current standards through PWZTMP-accredited designers.
What is a Traffic Guidance Scheme (TGS)?
A TGS is a site-specific, to-scale diagram that shows exactly where every advance-warning sign, cone, barrier, taper and traffic controller goes around a work zone or event. In NSW it replaced the older term Traffic Control Plan (TCP), and a compliant TGS is drawn to the TfNSW TCAWS manual and AS 1742.3.
Who is legally allowed to prepare a TGS or TMP in NSW?
Only a person holding the SafeWork NSW Prepare a Work Zone Traffic Management Plan (PWZTMP) accreditation can legally design or modify a TGS or TMP, and a compliant TGS carries the accredited designer's name and TfNSW certification details. On the road, Traffic Controller (TCR) card-holders direct traffic and Traffic Plan Implementer (IMP) card-holders set up and pack down the scheme — different cards for different jobs.
