Introduction: When it comes to road work in New South Wales (NSW), understanding the requirements for Road Occupancy Licenses (ROLs) is essential. At AAA Traffic Control, we strive to simplify the process for our clients by handling all the necessary legwork. In this blog post, we’ll explore why ROLs are required by the Transport Management Centre (TMC) in Sydney NSW, the different situations where ROLs are necessary, and how AAA Traffic Control streamlines the permit acquisition process.
1. Why ROLs are Required by the TMC: Ensuring Safety and Coordination
The Transport Management Centre (TMC) plays a vital role in overseeing and managing the road network in NSW. To ensure the safety of road users and coordinate traffic management effectively, the TMC is required to approve of Road Occupancy License Applications (ROLs) for specific road work activities. ROLs serve as permits that authorise the temporary closure or occupation of roads, allowing for necessary maintenance, construction, or event-related activities to take place. Some instances may include;
a) Road maintenance such as resurfacing, or line marking
b) Lane closures around a building site (as a hazard reduction) or to get cranes or other equipment in and out
c) Road closures causing detours of vehicular or pedestrian traffic onto State or Regional roads.
2. Situations Requiring ROLs: State Roads, Regional Roads, and More
ROLs are required in various situations involving road work activities. This includes State roads, Regional roads (which means they are governed by both state and local Councils), any road where road closures or detours may impact the flow of traffic on State or Regional roads, and if work is within 100m of traffic lights irrespective of the road type. Whether it’s a major highway, an important regional route, or a local road near traffic lights, obtaining an ROL is crucial to ensure compliance with regulations and facilitate the smooth and safe execution of the planned work.
