COPTTM Local Roads Supplement Project
The Local Roads Supplement (LRS) was produced by the RCA Forum to enable temporary traffic management on local roads to be more suited to local conditions and circumstances. The Supplement allows local road traffic management plans to be developed quickly and easily while still meeting the appropriate safety and traffic standards. It also provides for nationwide consistency.
The document contains a simple approval process, and includes diagrams for a wide range of local road situations. The diagrams are based on sound traffic management principles, consistent with the New Zealand Transport Agency publication CoPTTM, designed for use on state highways.
The Supplement was first released in September 2005. The Second Edition of the Supplement was released in August 2009.
The LRS project team and NZ Transport Agency have agreed to prepare a plan towards amalgamation of CoPTTM and the Supplement. The Second Edition of the Supplement will be used as a base document for an amalgamated code. Industry Review Group which oversees CoPTTM will be enlarged with LRS representatives to allow this process to start as soon as possible.
