Traffic management involves directing road users, pedestrians and others safely around a site deemed hazardous or unsafe for use. Construction sites, road accidents, public works and public events all call for traffic management solutions.

An effective traffic management solution will ensure that minimal disruption to road or public space use results from the situation at hand, with threats to personal safety mitigated and the risk of property damage minimized as much as possible.

There are hundreds of traffic management companies in Australia, and several industry associations, chief among them the Traffic Management Association of Australia.
