Restricted Access Vehicle (RAV) maps

The Restricted Access Vehicle (RAV) maps provide details on the roads and zones approved for:

• B-Doubles  (19m B-Doubles operating at full axle loads, i.e., 55.5 tn, 23m B-Doubles and 25/26m B-Doubles)
• 4.6 Metre High Vehicles 
• Road Trains

Selecting the RAV maps

The index of RAV maps for New South Wales and Sydney can be viewed by clicking here.

Individual maps can be viewed by clicking on the required maps from the index.

Viewing the RAV maps

Each of the RAV maps have multiple viewing layers that can be turned on and off by clicking on the "eye” icon. This feature can be used to assist in the viewing of specific information contained within the maps.

When first opened, all available information is displayed. Layers of information can be selected by:

• clicking on the 'Layers' tab on the left-hand side of the page; and
• double clicking individual layers of information that appear in the grey drop-down list (there will be an automatic change to the display of information on the map).

Understanding the maps

Each RAV map contains a legend at the bottom of the page.

Please note that travel restrictions may apply to specific RAV routes. Where this occurs, a reference code will be displayed on the map adjacent to the road on which the travel restriction applies.

A list of reference codes for the specific travel restrictions can be viewed here.

‘All Access Areas’ are geographic areas where all RAV vehicles have unrestricted access to roads.  Any roads where RAV vehicles are prohibited to travel on within ‘All Access Areas’ are defined as ‘Exemption Routes’.

Accuracy and currency

The RAV maps are an accurate depiction of the roads that have been approved for the operation of RAV vehicles at the time of publication. 
The RTA updates the RAV maps on a quarterly basis.
