Modus Transport and Traffic Engineering

Last week we celebrated an incredible milestone. Neill Phillips 5-year anniversary. Neill has been part of the journey since before Modus Transport and Traffic Engineering was even Modus. He’s seen the business evolve, supported us through change and has been a constant presence every step of the way. It’s fair to say he’s become part of the furniture. Over the years, Neill has built strong relationships with our clients and team, shared his knowledge generously and always stepped up when needed. His commitment, loyalty and willingness to back the business have played an important role in getting us to where we are today. Neill, thank you for everything you’ve contributed over the past five years. We genuinely appreciate your dedication and look forward to many more years working together. Happy 5-year anniversary, Neill!

We're proud to announce that Modus has a new Head Office in the heart of the Melbourne CBD. The time was right. Our work has been growing steadily across Australia, with more clients coming to us and bigger projects landing on the desk, and the team has grown with it. A new office in the CBD gives us the room that growth needs and a stronger base to keep working closely with our clients on the traffic and transport challenges they bring us. We're looking forward to welcoming our clients, partners, and industry colleagues to the new office. Here's to what's next. 🚀

Happy 4 year anniversary to our Executive Director, Harj Singh! Thank you, Harj, for your leadership, guidance, and dedication to the business. Your hard work and vision continue to drive Modus forward! Please join us in congratulating Harj Singh on this milestone!

At first glance, this Rozelle site couldn't cater for vehicle movements or sufficient car parking. Modus was engaged to provide traffic engineering services for a proposed medical centre in Rozelle, NSW, accessed via a narrow 3.5m rear laneway with limited ability to accommodate Council parking requirements. Through site-specific traffic engineering, DA approval was achieved with minimal impact to the design. Swipe to see how. Full project breakdown linked in comments!

It is that documentation prepared before the update may continue to be reused without being checked against the current guidance. Traffic Management Designers should confirm that the TMPs and TGSs they prepare, review or update remain suitable for the specific works and align with the latest guidance.   We have put together a plain-English breakdown of what changed, which parts matter most, and what builders, project managers and traffic management companies in VIC and SA should be reviewing now.   Link in the comments.   #TrafficManagement #AGTTM #TemporaryTrafficManagement #Victoria #SouthAustralia #TMP #TGS

We provided our Traffic Engineering and Waste Management expertise to help this fantastic project team secure DA and keep the project moving along. Now 100% Sold out and on track for completion by Q4 2026!

A safer trip often starts before the first kilometre. Today’s National Road Safety Week theme is Plan your journey. Planning ahead can help reduce rushed decisions, fatigue, distraction and last-minute manoeuvres. It also matters in the way we plan access to developments, construction sites, loading areas and car parks. When vehicle movements, pedestrian paths and loading requirements are considered early, the result is usually safer and more practical for everyone using the space. Road safety is not just about reacting well. It is about setting people up to make safer choices.

“This is a perfect example of why it is so critical to have a traffic engineer on board for even a small unit project. We have battled for months and months on other projects without your assistance, but this one sailed through, even though it was a complex, higher-order road. Thank you.” That was the client feedback on a seven-townhouse development in Caloundra, where Modus provided traffic engineering support in response to a Sunshine Coast Council RFI. The project involved access, servicing, parking design and swept path considerations. The kinds of items that can quickly become approval hurdles without the right technical input.

Most people think they know the road rules. But roads change. Intersections change. Speed environments change. Work zones appear. New line marking, signage, shared paths and access arrangements can all affect how people should move through a space. Today’s National Road Safety Week theme is a practical one: refresh your road rules knowledge. It is a timely reminder for drivers, riders, pedestrians and site operators to pause and check the rules that apply to the environments they use every day.

Road safety is not only about rules. It is also about judgement, patience and how we respond to the people around us. Today’s National Road Safety Week theme is Travel the road to kindness. That can look simple: giving a pedestrian time to cross, leaving space for a cyclist, slowing down near workers, or letting another vehicle merge without turning it into a contest. In traffic engineering, we often talk about systems, layouts and controls. But road environments are still shared by people making thousands of small decisions every day. A safer road culture depends on those decisions.
