Workzone traffic management

Getting permission to carry out roadworks

Before starting work on major arterial roads in South Australia, apply to the Traffic Management Centre via our Roadworks Portal. You will need a current workzone traffic management card to use the portal and submit traffic plans.

To request access to the portal, contact the Traffic Management Centre:

• Email: dit.roadworks@sa.gov.au
• Phone: 1800 018 313

Standards and guidelines

Temporary traffic management should follow the Austroads Guide to Temporary Traffic Management and relevant South Australian standards and guidelines.

Training and accreditation

All personnel who work on roads must know their responsibilities and legal obligations. Personnel who use traffic control devices when working on roads must:

• know how and when to use traffic control devices to provide a safe work environment for everyone.
• complete workzone traffic management training for using traffic control devices.

When workers are at a worksite using traffic control devices, at least one worker must carry a current workzone traffic management accreditation card.

For enquiries, please email DIT.TASSAdminSupport@sa.gov.au.

Prequalification for project delivery

To be prequalified, a company must show they have the experience, technical capacity, resources and management systems required to competently complete the work.

A company may apply for prequalification in any category at any time.

Prequalification only represents a right to submit a tender or to be considered for a select tender list.
