ML Traffic Engineers is a New Zealand based firm of established transportation planning and traffic engineering specialists.  We prepare traffic impact reports to support resource consent applications. The need for resource consent is generally triggered by a change of use or an intensification of use.   Our role is to assist you with achieving compliance with New Zealand standards and providing an appropriate response on access, car-parking, site circulation and traffic impacts. With over 23 years’ experience over a very broad gamut of land uses and range of developments (small schemes and large schemes), we are in a position to provide you with value focused and timely advice.

IMG_4478 (Medium).JPGWe support architects, lawyers, town planners, surveyors, builders, business operators / owners and individuals.  We assist Councils and Road Authorities with peer reviews of other parties’ traffic engineering related submissions.  We consider subtle variations that may exist between different local government authorities.  Every traffic engineering assessment considers relevant local planning context. 

We are experienced with a very broad range of land uses – apartments, bars, car washes, cafes / restaurants, child care centres, catteries / dog kennels, community centres, fitness centres / gymnasiums, galleries, drive-through premises (fast food, coffee, alcohol sales), hotels (accommodation) / motels, industrial units, industrial subdivision, licensed premises (gaming halls, tavern), medical centres, mine-site traffic management, mixed-use sites (residential and commercial), night clubs, offices, places of worship, recreational facilities, residential subdivisions, residential master plans, school traffic management, school master plans, shops, shopping centre developments, supermarkets, tuition centres and warehouses.

We assess and provide design input into access, parking, on-site vehicle maneuverability and site servicing layouts to the requirements of NZS 2890.1 and NZS 2890.2. Common issues include sight-lines to pedestrians (vertical and horizontal) on the footpath, appropriate ramp grades and transitions, vertical clearance at sag grade transitions, turning circles at changes of direction, access into car spaces from sub-standard width access IMG_4530 (Medium).JPGways, column setbacks, ramp widths and queuing space (inbound and outbound).

We prepare swept path diagrams using AutoTURN.  A requirement of resource consent may include the ability of the design vehicle to enter the site, internally maneuver and exit the site in a forward direction.  We have templates for cars (B85 and B99 dimensioned), rigid trucks and articulated vehicles.

We prepare construction traffic management plans (CTMP) to the requirements of NZS 1742.3.

We provide hands-on approach to every one of our projects. We are confident in being able to provide constructive input on traffic engineering matters from feasibility stages, right through to planning application submissions and, where circumstances dictate, provide expert witness representation at environment court hearings.

Has Council or the NZ Transport Agency asked you to submit a report involving an assessment of car parking, rubbish vehicle access and/or traffic impact issues to be prepared by a suitably qualified traffic engineer or transportation consultant?

Are you looking for experienced transportation consultants / transport planners / traffic engineers with relevant planning related exposure and in-depth knowledge of statutory requirements?
