1. Do I need to use the 2020 TMM, or can I still reference the 2015 Interim version?
The 2020 TMM has applied to all Ministry roadway work since January 2020. The 2015 and 1999 versions are kept online for historical reference only a plan built against an older edition is likely to be rejected.

2. Does the TMM apply to municipal roads too?
The TMM governs Ministry (provincial highway) roadways directly. Many municipalities reference it as their standard as well, but always confirm with the specific municipality, since some maintain their own supplementary requirements.
