AS 1742.3:2019 PDF Download

AS 1742.3:2019 is a standard that provides guidance on the control of traffic for works on roads. It outlines the traffic control measures and devices that should be used to ensure the safe navigation of work sites on roads, including unsealed roads, footpaths, shared paths, and bicycle paths. The standard is applicable to a wide range of activities, such as road and bridge construction and maintenance sites, works related to public utilities and services, and any other activities that may cause interference or obstruction to the normal use of a road or path.

The standard emphasizes the importance of using appropriate traffic guidance schemes to warn, instruct, and guide road users in work zones. It also acknowledges that detailed specifications for the design and manufacture of standard signs can be found in AS 1743, although multi-message signs are not yet covered by this standard. AS 1742.3:2019 should be used in conjunction with relevant Austroads guidelines and the applicable requirements of Commonwealth, state, and territory regulations regarding safe work and works on roads.
