What is a Traffic Guidance Scheme?
A Traffic Guidance Scheme (TGS), previously referred to as a Traffic Control Plan, is a vital technical document required for any project in Victoria that alters standard road or pedestrian conditions. It serves as a visual arrangement of signs, barriers, and traffic controllers, providing precise instructions for implementing safe site conditions.
The development of a TGS is strictly governed by the Road Management Act 2004 and must align with the VicRoads Code of Practice and Australian Standard AS 1742.3. These schemes are mandatory whenever works impact road users to ensure hazards are managed according to WorkSafe Victoria guidelines. True North Traffic Planning ensures your schemes are engineered for regulatory approval and the highest level of site safety.
Rules & Regulations
A Traffic Guidance Scheme (TGS) is a technical visual plan that outlines how traffic—including vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians—will be safely managed around a temporary work site. In Victoria, schemes are mandatory whenever work activities encroach on a road reserve, footpath, or shared path, requiring safe passage and strict regulatory adherence before any work commences.
VicRoads Standards
WorkSafe Compliance
AS 1742.3 Standards
Compliance with VicRoads Traffic Management Reform (TMR) is mandatory. All schemes drafted must comply with the official Code of Practice for site setups and vehicle movement transitions to ensure legal occupancy of the road reserve.
Under the OHS Act, WorkSafe Victoria requires a safe system of work for all roadside activities. A TGS acts as a documented risk control measure, specifying mandatory safety barriers and hazard identification for both workers and the public.
The technical foundation of every scheme is the Australian Standard AS 1742.3. This standard dictates strict engineering criteria for sign placement intervals, visibility distances, and hardware specifications across all Victorian roads.

A Traffic Guidance Scheme (TGS) is a formal visual layout diagram that dictates exactly how traffic, road users, and pedestrians are managed around a temporary worksite. In Victoria, these schemes are essential for high-risk activities and civil construction projects.
