VERY Reliable, honest and efficient! Has gone above and beyond on numerous occasions to find traffic controllers for me at short notice. Representatives are all very friendly. Couldn’t be happier with the service !

From observation this looks like a professional organisation. Unlike Adams Traffic, they may not juggle a cigarette, mobile phone while holding a stop sign, Simply because they actually do their work!!! Nice to see props to the owners

Why Every Job Needs a Traffic Guidance Scheme (TGS)
Every construction project, roadwork, or event that impacts public roads requires careful planning to ensure safety and compliance. One of the most important tools in this process is the Traffic Guidance Scheme (TGS). Whether you are a project manager, contractor, or event organiser, understanding what is a TGS and why it is required is essential for delivering safe and efficient outcomes.
This article explains what a TGS is, why every job needs one, and how First Class Traffic Solutions delivers professional support in preparing and implementing compliant schemes.
What is a Traffic Guidance Scheme?
A Traffic Guidance Scheme (TGS) is a detailed diagram showing how traffic and pedestrians will be managed around a worksite or event. It forms part of the broader Traffic Management Plan and is often the practical blueprint for setting up a safe work zone.
When people ask what is a TGS in traffic control or what is a traffic guidance scheme, the answer is simple: it is a site-specific map that illustrates signage, cones, barriers, controller positions, and detours required to keep everyone safe.
Typical elements of a TGS include:
- Placement of traffic signs, cones, and barriers.
- Locations of accredited traffic controllers.
- Safe pedestrian detours and crossings.
- Speed zone changes and lane closures.
- Emergency vehicle access routes.
- Night work adjustments for visibility and safety.
Without a TGS, projects risk confusion, congestion, and serious safety incidents.
Why Every Job Needs a TGS
No matter the size of the project, if traffic or pedestrian flow is affected, a TGS is required. Here’s why every job needs one:
Safety
Protects workers, drivers, and pedestrians by reducing risk.
Compliance
Meets NSW Transport and council requirements.
Clarity
Provides a clear layout for everyone working on-site.
Efficiency
Prevents delays by streamlining vehicle and pedestrian movement.
Accountability
Ensures incidents can be traced against a documented, approved plan.
Put simply, a TGS is not optional. It is a critical part of ensuring projects remain both safe and legally compliant.
When is a TGS Required?
If your project involves any of the following, a TGS will almost certainly be required:
- Lane closures or full road closures.
- Footpath closures or pedestrian detours.
- Reduced speed zones around work areas.
- Construction sites affecting public access.
- Utility works such as gas, electricity, or water maintenance.
- Public events where road access or pedestrian safety is impacted.
In short, if your work changes how the road or footpath is normally used, a TGS is necessary.
Challenges Solved by a TGS
Traffic control without a TGS often results in disorganisation and safety hazards. Common challenges solved by a professional scheme include:
- Confusion for drivers caused by unclear detours.
- Unsafe pedestrian crossings that lead people into danger.
- Worksite accidents due to poorly managed vehicle entry and exit points.
- Community complaints from delays or unsafe conditions.
- Regulatory penalties for failing to meet legal requirements.
A well-prepared TGS prevents these issues by creating a clear, approved setup for every site.
How a TGS is Developed
At First Class Traffic Solutions, we prepare TGS traffic diagrams using accredited planners and specialised software. The process includes:
- Site Assessment – Reviewing the road conditions, traffic volumes, and project requirements.
- Plan Creation – Drafting a scheme with signage, barriers, pedestrian routes, and controller positions.
- Compliance Review – Ensuring the scheme meets Transport for NSW and council standards.
- Approval – Submitting the plan for authority sign-off where required.
- Implementation – Setting up and managing the site exactly as outlined in the TGS.
This ensures that every project has a safe and compliant traffic control setup from day one.
