Warehouse traffic management plan

Short answer

A warehouse traffic management plan maps every vehicle and pedestrian route, sets speed zones, limits crossings and assigns a physical control to each conflict point. Speed bumps go at the gate, the yard entry, before each crossing and roughly every 150–250 ft on long yard roads.

Six steps to build the plan

Walk the site with a map; mark each step on it.

Step	What to do	Output
1. Map	Draw routes for trucks, forklifts, cars, people	Site map
2. Separate	One-way loops, walkways, barriers	Route plan
3. Zone speeds	Set limits per area	Speed zones
4. Control points	Gate, yard entry, crossings, long roads	Speed bump count
5. Sign & mark	Stop lines, crossings, speed signs	Signage list
6. Review	After changes, incidents, near misses	Review date

Frequently asked

What is a warehouse traffic management plan?

A written layout of how vehicles and people move around the site: routes, one-way systems, speed limits, crossings, parking, signage and physical controls, reviewed on a schedule.

What should it include?

A site map, vehicle and pedestrian routes, speed zones, crossing points, loading and parking areas, the physical controls at each point (barriers, speed bumps, mirrors), signage and a review date.

Where do speed bumps go in the plan?

At the gate, the yard entry, before each pedestrian crossing and every 150–250 ft on long yard roads. Use the 2.4 in heavy-duty profile where trucks run.

How often should it be reviewed?

Whenever the layout, volume or shift pattern changes, and after any incident or near miss. Many sites also schedule an annual review.

How much does the speed control part cost?

$360–$660 per 12 ft lane for heavy-duty bumps and $260–$520 for modular car-lane bumps, plus freight. Count your control points and we quote in 24 hours.
