Austroads has recently completed a project to identify best practice for road tunnel wall panels and finishes to ensure the products achieve performance, access, maintenance, and durability requirements. The best practice research provided through…

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…

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…

Road tunnels are an important element of the transport infrastructure, requiring significant resources and energy to construct, operate and maintain. Consequently, they are potentially a major source of greenhouse gas emissions and environmental…

This report describes the proposed Strategy for implementation of Assessing Fitness to Drive for consideration by the Austroads Board. It has been developed based on the Implementation Framework endorsed by the Austroads Board in 2021, together with…

Driving a motor vehicle is a complex task involving perception, appropriate judgement, adequate response time and appropriate physical capability. A range of medical conditions, disabilities and treatments may influence these driving prerequisites.…
