Forestry traffic is its own world: log trucks on narrow public roads, harvest crews working beside live traffic, remote sites with no cell coverage and long response times. Generic urban traffic management does not transfer.
Bay Traffic Management has specialist experience in forestry environments across Hawke's Bay, keeping harvest operations, cartage routes and the public moving safely around each other.
What we cover
- Traffic management for harvest and log cartage operations
- TMPs for skid sites and forest road intersections with public roads
- Truck crossing points and controlled access
- Signage for long-running cartage routes
- Remote site setups built for days, not hours
- Liaison with forest managers and councils
Built for the back blocks
Our crews are used to gravel, gradients, dust and distance. Setups are planned so they keep working between checks, with signage and controls that survive weather and heavy vehicle movements.
Keeping cartage moving
Every hour a cartage route is held up costs real money. We design controls that protect the public without strangling truck cycle times, and we adjust as the harvest moves through the block.
