Guidelines for Safe Clearance between Workers and Through Traffic
Before the commencement of any project construction works, the proximity to the
roadway will be assessed to determine the most appropriate method of management.
The distance from the edge of the traffic carrying lane is used as guideline for the
method of traffic management to be implemented. The levels of proximity to traffic that
pre-empt the method of traffic management are:
• Clearance of three metres or more from traffic;
• Clearance of less than three metres or more from traffic; and
• Stopping or merging traffic.
Clearance of Three metres or more from Traffic
If the entire work area, including all vehicles and plant, are 3m or more from the nearest
edge of the traffic carrying lane and no parking lanes, road shoulder or lane is required
to be closed, then the only signage required is a Worker (symbolic) (T1-5) forewarning
road users and vehicle mounted warning devices on all plant and vehicles on the work
site.
