Guide to Pavement Technology Part 2: Pavement Structural Design provides advice for the structural design of sealed road pavements. The advice has been generally developed from the approaches followed by the Austroads member agencies. However, as it…

This report documents the best practice approaches for the use of road tunnel wall panels and finishes, which informed the development of a specification framework. This was developed through a workshop with subject-matter experts, review of current…

Road agencies increasingly recognise the value of coordination and cooperation with public transport operators in responding to road and transport incidents, as it helps support a more holistic and integrated multimodal approach to minimising…

This report, originally published in November 2021, outlines the findings of a project to develop clearer and more consistent tunnel signage to reduce the impact of over-dimensioned and dangerous goods vehicles on both infrastructure and Workplace…

This report details research into the ways transport agencies manage unplanned incidents that impact the normal operation of more than one transport mode. It includes 10 guiding principles and a capability framework. Road agencies need guidance on…

A recently completed project has recommended changes to the Austroads Guide to Road Tunnels Part 2: Planning, Design and Commissioning to provide guidance on rationalising road signs on the approaches to tunnels, to divert over-height and dangerous…

This Pavement Work Tip details techniques to ensure that joints in asphalt do not create a point of weakness due to poor compaction and that correct shape and ride quality are maintained.

This Work Tip details work practices that help ensure uniformity of Binder Application Rates and neatness of joints in sprayed seals.

This Pavement Work Tip considers traffic distribution and its effect on the suitable location of joints and where the design Binder Application Rates should be varied to allow for the expected traffic volume.
