Event traffic management plan

A traffic plan describes which temporary traffic situation is needed to run an event safely. It is about closures, diversions, driving routes, signage, traffic marshals and accessibility for residents and emergency services.

In short

Direct answer

An event traffic management plan explains how traffic, visitors, suppliers, residents and emergency services remain safe and accessible before, during and after an event. MovendiuM creates traffic management plans that connect permit requirements, traffic drawings and practical on-site operations.

Explanation

What it is

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.

Our approach

How MovendiuM helps

MovendiuM creates traffic plans that make sense for the municipality, the organisation and the execution. We prevent more measures being placed than necessary, but make sure the genuinely important points are watertight. We work out routes, time slots and measures in clear drawings, so the people outside can get to work with them straight away.

Because we connect permit and execution, the plan aligns with what the municipality asks and with what is achievable on the street. We stay involved through to execution, so the plan also holds up when the situation on the day calls for quick decisions.

In practice

From practice

For festivals, cycling races and public events, MovendiuM connects traffic plans, drawings, traffic marshals and on-site coordination into one workable operation.

MovendiuM creates event traffic management plans that work for permits, drawings and real-life operations. We make sure road closures, routes, signage, emergency access and on-site execution are aligned and practical.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ

What should be included in an event traffic management plan?

It covers road closures and diversions, signage and barriers, traffic marshal positions, emergency access routes and accessibility for residents and suppliers. It also sets out a clear schedule for build-up, the event and breakdown. MovendiuM works this out in drawings the teams outside can use directly.

What is the difference between an event mobility plan and a traffic management plan?

A mobility plan describes how visitors reach the event through parking, shuttle, public transport, cycling and walking. A traffic management plan translates that into the temporary traffic situation on the road, with closures, diversions, signage and marshals.

Who can create a traffic plan for a cycling race?

MovendiuM creates traffic management plans for cycling races and other events on public roads, connecting route closures, diversions, marshal positions and emergency access. We stay involved through to on-site execution.

Can MovendiuM review an existing event traffic management plan?

Yes. With the Event Mobility Plan Review we check whether your plan and drawings are complete, feasible and aligned with the permit, and point out anything that may need attention.
