Built for South Australia
Drawn to SA rules, not a national template
Many plans are drawn from the national guide alone. DIT works from the SA Standard and its own supplement, and that's where plans get knocked back. We start with the SA rules and use the national guide only where SA is silent.
| Speed zone | Sign spacing (D) |
|---|---|
| Up to 40 km/h | 15 m |
| 60 km/h | 45 m |
| 80 km/h and above | Matches the speed |
Measured from the nearest edge of the work or the start of the taper
- StandardSA Standard for Workzone Traffic Management and the DIT Supplement come first.
- Road ownerWe check whether it's a State Managed Road, so the plan goes to DIT or the council.
- SignsEach sign drawn at its true position on the street. No leader lines pointing to it.
- PedestriansFootpath closures and detours drawn in, with a safe route past the work.
- BusesBus stops inside the work area are flagged so you can notify Adelaide Metro.

Questions
Before you order
Who signs the plan off?
Every plan is checked and signed by an SA-accredited traffic management designer before it leaves us. Nothing goes out unchecked.
What do you need from me?
The site address, what the work is, the dates and hours, and whether the footpath or a lane is affected. Photos help but aren't required.
What if my job changes on the day?
Send us the change and we'll reissue the plan. Small changes usually come back within the hour.
Is a TGS the same as a traffic management plan?
Not quite. A TGS is the drawing of signs and devices for one site. A traffic management plan (TMP) covers the whole job and usually includes one or more TGS drawings. We do both. Ask for a TMP when you order.
Do you cover outside Adelaide?
Yes, anywhere in South Australia. For regional sites we confirm the turnaround when you order.
