The job

6 or 7 characters, without NZTA in front, like T184726.

Starts at (RS and RP)
RS RP
Ends at (RS and RP)
RS RP

From the first sign to the last sign. RP is kilometres then metres, like 0.450.

The actual work, not a general term. NZTA's examples: chip sealing, culvert clearing, sign replacement, bridge repairs.

Traffic management

NZTA's standard terms. Lane closure is only for roads with more than one lane each way; for traffic taking turns, use Stop/go MTC (alternating flow).

Filled in from your method. Change it if your job fits another option better.

When nobody is working, what's left on the road?

One impact covers it, day and night (NZTA guidelines, scenario 2).

Only setups that are safe with nobody there are listed. For traffic taking turns overnight, that's portable traffic lights (Unmanned temporary traffic lights).

One impact for each direction of traffic.

When

Times each shift

24 hour times in 15 minute steps, as the deployment sheet asks.

Spare days in case of weather. They're booked as separate impacts, clearly labelled.

People

Corridor Access Request

Saves the principal, contractors, 24 hour contact and region in this browser only, so they're filled in next time. Nothing is sent anywhere.

1. The booking in myWorksites

Booking description

Paste this into the RSB description. NZTA asks for the actual work, the road and the town, never the general TMP description.

Impacts

Add each one as an impact in the booking, with its dates and times.

    2. The RTTMC deployment sheet

    NZTA still wants the deployment sheet alongside bookings for now. Copy the row, open NZTA's sheet, click the first empty cell in column A under the example row, and paste.

    Download NZTA's blank deployment sheet (Excel, straight from NZTA).

    3. The deadline

    The RTTMC looks at bookings at its Thursday coordination meeting.

    Built from NZTA's Guidelines for road space bookings (October 2026) and the RTTMC deployment spreadsheet. Check myWorksites and the RTTMC if anything here doesn't match what you see.
