Provision of temporary measures to mitigate the impact of special events such as demonstrations, parades and street parties on traffic flow on the highway network.

Traffic and Transportation Services is responsible for the provision of temporary traffic management measures, including road closures, which may be required to manage traffic flow, maintain safety and reduce the risk of accidents as a result of special events such as demonstration, parades and street parties. Temporary traffic management measures may be necessary to ensure emergency access is maintained at all times, ensure that the safety of all road users is maintained and also ensure that traffic around the event is directed or diverted along clearly signed alternative routes. The traffic management measures are developed in conjunction with the Police, other emergency services, the organisers and other interested parties.
