Austroads: Transport Research and Trends
Government
Guide to Road Design is Austroads’ most downloaded publication with more than 155,000 copies accessed in the last 18 months.
A recent project looked at whether improvements could be made based on recently released Austroads research. That review identified possible inclusions relating to improvements to practice focusing on Safe System, the vulnerability of motorcycles and specific heavy vehicle road design considerations.
A report “Inclusion of Recent Road Safety Research in the Guide to Road Design Phase 2” proposed updates to the Guide to Road Design, as well as suggested improvements for the Guide to Road Safety and Guide to Traffic Management. The report also detailed a process to be followed to include future research into the guides and bring any new updates into practice in an efficient and timely manner.
This webinar with Noel O’Callaghan and Malcolm Mak presents a detailed overview of the report.
