Planning swept path analysis in Nelson Bay? Traffic Consultants designs the scheme, secures the approvals and runs the crews on the road. Nelson Bay Road, Stockton Bridge approaches, Port Stephens waterfront and d'Albora Marina precinct. That's the kind of local road environment we plan around across the Hunter.
What's included
AutoTURN and Vehicle Tracking checks against AS 2890 and Austroads design vehicles, for everything from B-doubles to refuse trucks. In Nelson Bay we run AutoTURN and Vehicle Tracking checks so access, loading and docks work for the intended design vehicles.

Traffic management in Nelson Bay
Nelson Bay Road is the sole arterial link between Port Stephens and the Pacific Highway, carrying holiday traffic volumes in summer and long weekends that far exceed the road's everyday baseline. The d'Albora Marina precinct and Nelson Bay waterfront generate event and tourism traffic concentrated into the town centre's limited street network, and traffic-management plans for foreshore events and road works must coordinate with Port Stephens Council and account for the Stockton Bridge approaches that form a critical constraint on the broader route.

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.
