A traffic management plan (TMP) is required when there's vehicle movement on site that could affect public safety or site personnel. This includes construction activities near roads, pedestrian access, or any area where traffic could pose a risk.
Key points

If you're doing any work that involves vehicles, like deliveries or machinery, you've got to have a TMP in place. It's all about managing risks and ensuring everyone stays safe. Check with your local regulations for specific requirements, as these can vary by state.
