Clearance of Less than Three metres or more from Traffic
If the clearance from the work area is less than 3m from the nearest edge of a lane
carrying traffic then the following safety measures must be implemented:
• Advance signing and delineation including Worker (symbolic) (T1-5).
Protection can be provided by safety barrier and speed zoning. However in
some situations the use of the barriers has the potential to eliminate the
requirement to reduce traffic speeds for the protection of the workers.
If there is clearance within 1.2 and 3m of traffic and no physical barriers the following
are required when the workers are on-site:
• Signage and delineation (Worker (symbolic) (T1-5) and cones, bollards or
similar);
• Containment fence around the edge of work area; and
• Reduction of traffic speed to 60km/hr or less.
Working less than 1.2 metres from the nearest edge of the lane carrying traffic, the
following measures are to be undertaken:
• A worker (symbolic) (T1-5) sign in advance of the work site;
• Delineation by cones or bollards; and where appropriate reduce traffic speeds
to 40km/h or less by utilising traffic control devices or traffic controllers or
imposing temporary road work speed zone sign.
