What's included
AutoTURN and Vehicle Tracking checks against AS 2890 and Austroads design vehicles, for everything from B-doubles to refuse trucks. In Orange we run AutoTURN and Vehicle Tracking checks so access, loading and docks work for the intended design vehicles.

Traffic management in Orange
The Mitchell Highway and Summer Street grid underpin Orange's role as the principal service city for the central-west, carrying agricultural freight, tourist traffic bound for the wine region and healthcare visitors to the Orange Hospital in a compact city centre where peak-hour congestion is increasingly evident. Orange Airport access and the movement of agricultural equipment between the Highway and surrounding farming districts generate oversize-vehicle management requirements on roads shared with commuter and retail traffic. The NSW Wine Country Festival and related harvest-season events draw regional and interstate visitors who concentrate traffic on Summer Street and the Mitchell Highway approaches to the city, requiring event-specific traffic management plans.
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.
