The current version of the Austroads sprayed seal design method was published in 2006 and has been in use for the last nine years. During recent times, a number of sprayed sealing practitioners have indicated that the basic voids factor for single/…

Ability to Absorb Information Through Electronic and Static Signs
This report reviews current practices and research evidence on the co-location of three types of signs: direction signs (DS), variable message signs (VMS) and variable speed limits/lane control signs (VSL/LCS). An advanced driving simulator study…
Towards Incorporating Heavy Vehicles into Sprayed Seal Design: Stage 2

Traffic loadings on Australia’s extensive sprayed seal network have increased, particularly with freight efficiency resulting in longer and heavier loads being transported by prime movers.

This report details the development of a model to describe…

Sprayed Sealing - Initial Treatment of Stabilised Pavements
This Pavement Work Tip provides a guide to the use of priming and primersealing as initial treatments on stabilised pavements.
Review of Sign Size for Electronic Regulatory Speed Signs
This report documents research to determine if the size of electronic regulatory speed signs (ERSS), such as variable speed limit signs, could be reduced without adversely impacting efficiency of driving or safety.
