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 Transit New Zealand publication CoPTTM, designed for use on state highways.
The Supplement was first released in September 2005. This was the First Edition of the Supplement. A review team is currently reviewing the First Edition to determine how it may be improved for use on local roads. The present plans are that this review will result in the Second Edition of the Supplement. However the review team and NZ Transport Agency are currently discussing whether it's best to proceed with the Second Edition or to combine the Supplement and CoPTTM into one document.
