PREFACE
This Handbook has been prepared to provide guidance for personnel engaged in works on roads in urban
areas involving roadway closures for continuous periods of more than one day and up to approximately
three weeks. It covers both mid-block and intersection works on all types of urban roads other than
expressways and freeways. It is intended to be used primarily as a field reference guide.
The Handbook has been prepared to cover a specific area of roadworks signage. It contains only those
provisions of AS 1742.3*, which are considered to apply in the particular cases with which it deals, and
for convenience, reproduces them in summary form. It is not intended to supersede AS 1742.3 and in
any cases where there may appear to be differences in specified requirements or recommendations, or
where matters could be interpreted differently from that Standard, it is intended that the Standard
specification, recommendation or interpretation should prevail.
Assistance in the preparation of this Handbook was provided by representatives of the following
organizations:
Department of Transport, South Australia
Department of Infrastructure, Energy and Resources, Tasmania
Main Roads Department, Queensland
Roads and Traffic Authority, N.S.W.
VicRoads
WorkCover N.S.W.
