This report, published in January 2022, provides a basis for future testing and standardisation of the symbols and road signage for low and zero emission vehicles in Australia and New Zealand, paving the way to adopt consistent symbols in the road…

Internal combustion engine vehicles are a major source of greenhouse gas emissions in Australia and New Zealand. Encouraging the public to utilise low and zero emission vehicles (LZEVs), such as battery electric vehicles will contribute to creating…

This report details the methodology and findings of a project to develop guidance for agencies planning, installing, and operating charging infrastructure for non-commercial passenger vehicles with battery-electric or hybrid propulsion. This study…

These guidelines cover the installation of charging infrastructure for Low and Zero Emission Vehicles (LZEVs), including requirements, location, usability, and design. LZEV charging infrastructure is provided to encourage the use of LZEVs, and to…

This report summarises the findings of a review of current practices relating to speed information management (i.e. speed limits and operating speeds) in Austroads jurisdictions. As speed information management is an emerging topic, current…

Road tunnels are major pieces of infrastructure across the road network, and the number of tunnels is expected to increase in the coming years. Although they are relatively safe, a significant number of crashes occur on the approaches to and within…

Austroads has published a report proposing a set of symbols for low and zero emission vehicles (LZEVs) and associated charging or refuelling infrastructure to be used on road signs and for road marking in Australia and New Zealand. The proposal…

This report evaluates selected low-cost perceptual countermeasure (PCM) treatments in tunnel environments. PCM treatments are used to reduce crash risk by improving driver speed behaviour, alertness and lane discipline within tunnels. Two key…
