Austroads has published an updated Guide to Temporary Traffic Management, which improves guidance and consistency between its different parts, and with the Australian Standard AS 1742.3 Traffic Control for Works on Roads.
Richard Delplace, Austroads Transport Network Operations Program, said the Guide represents best temporary traffic management practice in Australia and New Zealand.
“The changes to the Guide have originated from issues and feedback received from numerous parties including Austroads member agencies and industry. The raised issues and feedback were reviewed, discussed, and agreed by the Temporary Traffic Management Technical Reference Group and then approved through the Austroads’ processes,” Richard said.
The Guide to Temporary Traffic Management is structured as follows:
- Part 1: Introduction introduces the discipline of temporary traffic management practices
