Is your vehicle is overheight?
Heavy vehicle drivers travelling through the Sydney Harbour Tunnel, Eastern Distributor, M5 East, Lane Cove and Cross City tunnels are reminded that height restrictions are in place.
Vehicles travelling into Sydney motorways over the height restrictions can cause significant damage to tunnel structure and assets such as lighting and fire systems within the tunnel.
Heavy vehicle drivers should also remember their vehicles can have a huge impact on safety of other drivers, as well as the condition of bridges, tunnels and roads – should something go wrong. When vehicles get stuck in a tunnel it causes delays for other motorists and can significantly affect traffic flow.
Watch out for warning signs placed on the approach to the tunnels and, if unsure, follow them to find alternate routes. And remember, if caught, penalties can apply to you and your employer.
