This workshop provides an overview of recommended best practice guidance for the development and use of Generic TGSs for repetitive and routine tasks requiring temporary traffic management. The workshop includes a practical component to demonstrate the processes in the development of a Generic TGS library and the TGS selection process for use by a Traffic Management Implementer.

This workshop is targeted primarily at those temporary traffic management practitioners who hold the Traffic Management Design qualification.
