Austroads Guide to Traffic Management and Australian Standards AS 1742, 1743 & 2890

Roads and Maritime Services has now adopted the Austroads Guide to Traffic Management and Australian Standards AS 1742, 1743 & 2890 as its primary traffic technical reference.

Roads and Maritime Services accepts the principles in the Austroads Guide to Traffic Management and the Australian Standards with variations documented in a series of supplements. These Roads and Maritime Services prepared supplements contain advice under the following categories:

• Roads and Maritime Services Enhanced Practice: Roads and Maritime Services practices which enhance the Austroads guides or Australian Standards.
• Roads and Maritime Services Complementary Material: Roads and Maritime Services traffic reference material that complements the Austroads guides or Australian Standards. These documents include Roads and Maritime Services manuals, technical directions and/or other reference material and are to be read in conjunction with the Austroads guides.
• Roads and Maritime Services Departures: Roads and Maritime Services traffic practices that depart from the Austroads guides or Australian Standards.

If there are any differences in practice between any Roads and Maritime Services supplement and other Roads and Maritime Services complementary material, Roads and Maritime Services supplement will apply.

Due to the copyright issue Roads and Maritime Services cannot provide downloads of Austroads Guide to Traffic Management, Austroads Guide to Road Safety and Australian Standards publications. They can be obtained from the respective publishers' websites for a fee.
