When should MOT plans be developed?

MOT plans should be developed during the planning phase of the project to ensure the safety and efficiency of traffic movement around and through construction zones. By addressing traffic control needs early, project managers can identify potential disruptions, assess the impacts on local traffic patterns, and implement strategies to minimize them before construction begins. This proactive approach allows for a more organized worksite and helps in communicating with the public about expected changes and any necessary detours.

Developing MOT plans at this stage also facilitates compliance with safety regulations and standards, and it enables collaboration with local authorities and stakeholders to design a comprehensive traffic management strategy. Ensuring these plans are in place before the construction starts helps to prevent accidents and enhances the overall effectiveness of the project.
