Traffic Control Plan for Construction Projects
A traffic control plan for a construction project sets out how vehicle lanes, pedestrian routes, and site access will be managed while work is underway. Plan My Traffic prepares these plans for general contractors, civil contractors, and project managers across Canada, covering everything from single-lane closures to multi-phase site access changes.
Traffic planning support for active construction sites
Construction Traffic Control Plans typically cover three things: how vehicles move around the work zone, how pedestrians and cyclists are kept clear of active work areas, and how the site’s access points are staged as the project progresses. Most municipal and provincial road authorities in Canada – including bodies overseeing work in Ontario, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba – require this documentation before a permit is issued for any work affecting a public road or right-of-way.
Plan My Traffic prepares this documentation directly from your project drawings, site layout, and schedule, rather than starting from a generic template. This matters at two points in a project specifically: during the bid or tender stage, when a Traffic Control Plan is often a required attachment, and during the pre-construction phase, when the plan needs to match the actual sequencing of the work.
Who this service is for
This service is used most often by General Contractors, Civil Contractors, Utility Contractors, and Subcontractors managing projects that affect a public road, lane, sidewalk, or driveway access point. Project Managers preparing a tender submission also use this service, since many municipal contracts in Canada list a Traffic Control Plan as a required bid document rather than something to be sorted out after award.
It applies whether the project is a single-site residential build with one temporary access point, or a multi-phase commercial or utility project where lane conditions change several times over the course of construction.
What is included in the plan
A Construction Traffic Control Plan from Plan My Traffic typically includes: lane closure or lane shift layouts where the work affects a driving lane, entry and exit point planning for construction vehicles and deliveries, signage and channelization recommendations aligned with provincial Traffic Control Standards (such as BC TMM 2020, ON OTM Book 7, MB WZTCM, and SK TCDWZ), and pedestrian or cyclist routing around the active work area.
For projects that change over time for example, a site that moves from excavation to structural work to final restoration the plan can be staged into phases, each with its own layout, so the documentation stays accurate as the project progresses rather than needing to be rebuilt from scratch. Revision support is included if project details, timelines, or site conditions change after the initial plan is issued.
Why contractors choose Plan My Traffic
Contractors choose Plan My Traffic because plans are built from actual project drawings and site conditions rather than a standard template, which reduces the back-and-forth that happens when a municipality or safety officer flags a plan that doesn’t match the real site. Turnaround is typically fast enough to fit within tender deadlines, and revisions are handled without starting the process over.
Plan My Traffic works with Contractors on projects across British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario, so plans account for the specific approval requirements of the jurisdiction the work is taking place in, rather than a one-size-fits-all national format.
