The new MRWA Traffic Management for Works on Roads CODE OF PRACTICE has recently been released.
(Main Roads Western Australia has adopted the Safe System approach to managing the road network and the Traffic Management for Works on Roads Code of Practice utilises these principles. This Code provides mechanisms to protect all road users (including road workers), acknowledging that people are fallible and have limited ability to tolerate impact forces.
The requirements promote safe and consistent traffic management practice at work sites on roads in accordance with state legislation and national standards. They require general compliance with the Austroads Guide to Temporary Traffic Management (AGTTM) and Australian Standard 1742.3 – 2019, with details of additional requirements necessary to meet Western Australian requirements and advise of departures to the requirements of the AGTTM and Australian Standard that I am prepared to allow on Western Australian roads. The requirements also outline the competency requirements for personnel responsible for managing traffic on work sites and the need to hold a qualification relevant to the specific task in traffic management).
