hy are the signs up?
Safety standards and regulations require Main Roads staff and contractors to erect warning signs – often including speed reduction signs – whenever roadway changes occur or road works are underway. The signs might highlight changes to road conditions (eg slippery or “loose stones” road surfaces, a drop off at the road edge) or have been erected in preparation for road works to begin. In addition, road workers may not always be visible from the road: for example they may be under the roadway. In the interests of safety, we ask that you take note of signage and always assume road workers are in the vicinity. We value your safety and also that of our workforce.
