A traffic plan is the practical translation of the mobility approach into the temporary traffic situation on the street. Where the mobility plan describes how people reach the event, the traffic plan makes concrete what that means for the road: which streets are closed, where traffic is diverted and which measures are needed to keep everything safe.
The plan brings the interests of road users, residents, emergency services and the organisation together into one coherent whole. Well set up, it prevents both unsafe situations and unnecessary measures, and it gives everyone — from municipality to traffic marshal — the same clear picture of the situation outside.
