Queensland Guide to Temporary Traffic Management (QGTTM)

Transport and Main Roads has adopted Austroads' Guide to Temporary Traffic Management (AGTTM) as part of national harmonisation. The Queensland Guide to Temporary Traffic Management (QGTTM) contains only departures from the AGTTM.

The QGTTM must be read in conjunction with the AGTTM. The QGTTM takes precedence over the AGTTM, except where the Austroads Guide is 'accepted'.

Austroads Guides are available for free, unlimited non-commercial use via individual login.

When an updated edition of an AGTTM Part is published by Austroads, the nominated edition identified in the QGTTM will continue to apply in Queensland, until the newer edition of the AGTTM is harmonised and nominated.

Superseded editions of the AGTTM Parts are available on the Austroads website using the publications search function and selecting 'Temporary Traffic Management' as the subject area and 'archived' as the publication state.

AGTTM Parts that are currently harmonised with QGTTM are:

• Parts 1 to 7, 9 and 10 - Edition 1.1, 2021
• Part 8 - Edition 1.0, 2019.

Temporary Traffic Management road categories

Road categories for roads across Queensland are available on Queensland Globe. This map only shows Category 2 or 3 roads. The TTM Road Categories map layer is accessible by following these steps:

• Click on 'Layers'
• Click on 'Add Layers'
• Scroll down to the 'Transportation' category and expand the layer list using the dropdown arrow
• Select the 'Temporary traffic management road categories' layer by checking the tick box.

Please note that:

• A list of Local Government Authorities (LGAs) and their Queensland Globe map status is provided in this document. If no roads are displayed for the LGA in Queensland Globe, please contact the LGA directly, noting that only Category 2 and 3 roads are displayed on Queensland Globe.
• The layer is only visible at certain zoom levels, so navigate to your area of interest and zoom in to view the current TTM Road Categories.
• To enhance the visibility of the TTM category layer, deselect other road network layers and use the 'Queensland basemap grey' layer in place of the imagery layer. You can toggle them on and off as required.

If you are new to Queensland Globe, there is a range of tutorial videos available under the 'Help' section.
