Levels of temporary traffic management (TTM): diagrams
All state highways are classified as a particular TTM level dependent on the traffic volumes. Four levels of TTM are described within the code and, in increasing order of complexity, these are:
- Level LV - Low Volume Roads (AADT less than 500vpd)
- Level 1 - Low to Moderate Volume Roads (AADT 500 to 10,000vpd)
- Level 2 - High Volume Roads (AADT greater than 10,000vpd)
- Level 3 - High Volume, High Speed Multi-lane Roads, Expressways and Motorways (AADT greater than 10,000vpd and speed greater than 75 km/h)
