What is the purpose of a TTC plan?

The purpose of a Temporary Traffic Control (TTC) plan is to ensure the safe and efficient movement of traffic through and around construction zones or work areas. A well-developed TTC plan identifies how to manage traffic temporarily while construction or maintenance activities take place, thereby minimizing disruptions to both vehicular and pedestrian traffic. It includes strategies for managing lane closures, detours, and the placement of warning signs and devices to protect both workers and road users.

In contrast, long-term infrastructure development involves planning broader, more permanent changes to road systems, which is not the focus of a TTC plan. Similarly, while a TTC plan does include outlining construction zones, its purpose is much more comprehensive, addressing overall traffic control rather than just defining where work is happening. Permanent traffic signal installation is unrelated, as it pertains to fixed traffic control measures rather than managing temporary conditions associated with road work.
