Traffic Control Services

Every service below is handled by our in-house team. Nothing is outsourced, and nothing gets lost between handovers.

Certified Traffic Controllers

Get Directed traffic controller managing road access for civil works in SEQ Our traffic controllers hold TC and TMI accreditations under Queensland's Traffic Controller Accreditation Scheme. TC-accredited controllers manage live vehicle and pedestrian movements on site. TMI-accredited controllers are responsible for setting up, managing, and removing all physical traffic control devices in line with the approved Traffic Guidance Scheme. Get Directed supplies both roles across projects of all sizes across South East Queensland and Northern NSW.

Equipped Traffic Control Vehicles

Get Directed operates its own fleet of fully equipped traffic control vehicles. Our vehicles are stocked and ready, which means faster deployment and no last-minute equipment gaps on your site.

Traffic Management Plans

Traffic diversion lane setup with cones and signage during road closure. Queensland requires a Traffic Management Plan for most works carried out on or adjacent to a public road. Get Directed prepares site-specific TMPs covering lane configurations, signage placement, speed zone requirements, and pedestrian provisions, all in accordance with the TMR Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices.

Traffic Guidance Schemes

Traffic guidance scheme diagram A Traffic Guidance Scheme provides the visual layout of all traffic control measures on your worksite, including sign positions, device placements, and lane arrangements. Get Directed prepares compliant TGS drawings across all project types and coordinates with permit authorities as part of the process.

Council and Main Roads Permit Applications

Get Directed managing road lane closure with stop/slow bat. Permit applications to local councils and the Department of Transport and Main Roads require precise documentation and correct submission. Errors or incomplete applications add days or weeks to your project timeline. Get Directed prepares and submits permit applications on your behalf and follows up with authorities to keep approvals progressing.

Queensland Police Permits

Sucker Truck Some projects require a separate permit from Queensland Police before works can proceed. Road closures on high-volume roads, major public events, and projects that affect traffic flow across multiple intersections typically fall into this category. Missing a police permit when one is required can result in a stop-work order on the day. Get Directed identifies whether your project needs a Queensland Police permit and manages the application alongside your other approvals.

Traffic Counting and Data Collection

Get Directed provides traffic volume and classification counting services across South East Queensland and Northern NSW. Accurate traffic data supports development applications, infrastructure planning, and site access assessments for both government and private sector projects.

Worksite Risk Management and Safety

Every project begins with a site-specific risk assessment. Get Directed identifies hazards, documents control measures, and ensures all traffic management activities meet Queensland workplace health and safety requirements, covering both workers on site and road users passing through.

Common Questions About Traffic Control

  1. What is the difference between a Traffic Controller and a Traffic Management Implementer? A Traffic Controller uses a stop/slow bat to direct vehicles and pedestrians through a worksite. A Traffic Management Implementer sets up and removes the physical devices on site, including signs, cones, and barriers, in accordance with the approved Traffic Guidance Scheme. Most active worksites require both qualifications. Get Directed supplies controllers holding TC and TMI accreditations under Queensland's Traffic Controller Accreditation Scheme.
  2. Do I need a Traffic Management Plan for my project? In Queensland, a TMP is required for most works on or adjacent to a public road. This covers construction sites, utility works, road maintenance, and commercial projects where the road or footpath is affected. Contact our team with your project details and we will confirm what is required.
  3. How far in advance do I need to book? For standard projects, a few days notice is generally workable for getting controllers on site. Permit applications take longer, and the earlier they are submitted the better. Contact us as soon as your project scope is confirmed and we will advise on realistic timeframes for your location and project type.
  4. Do you work after hours and on weekends? Yes. Many road works and utility projects are scheduled outside peak traffic hours. Contact us to discuss your project schedule and we will confirm availability.
  5. How long does a council permit take to get approved? Timeframes vary by council and the complexity of the works. Standard applications can be processed within a few days. Projects involving closures on major arterials or state-controlled roads generally take longer. Get Directed submits promptly and follows up with the relevant authority throughout the process.
  6. What areas do you service? We service the Gold Coast, Brisbane, North Brisbane, Ipswich, Logan, Toowoomba, Tweed Heads, and Northern NSW.
