The Traffic Management Contractors Association (TMCA) was established in 1989 (encouraged by the Department for Transport) as a trade association to represent the views of its members, and to further the development (& increase safety) with regard to temporary traffic management systems at major roadworks sites on a national basis.

Members of the TMCA have been collectively trading for in excess of 150 years, and it is this huge depth of experience which enables the TMCA to represent the industry on numerous committees including the Road Workers Safety Forum (RoWSaF). In addition, the TMCA has had a significant input into the industry's major documentation:- "Guidance for Safer Traffic Management"; "Traffic Management – a Good Working Practice"; "Chapter 8 of the Traffic Signs Manual"; "Sector Scheme 12 of the Specification for Highway Works".

.............., and it produced the training DVD "Your Life on the Line", and assisted in the latest DVD "Life in the Fast Lane". Any company wishing to apply for membership should contact the Company Secretary, Phil Crickmay on phil_crickmay@hotmail.com or telephone:0208 9731777
