Roadwork signage safety review to reduce driver frustration
Source: Queensland. Minister for Main Roads. Media Release
"Main Roads Minister Craig Wallace announced the State Government will review signage around roadwork sites to reduce driver frustration and ensure motorists receive a clear and consistent message across the state.“I understand the frustration that motorists must feel when having to slow down through the many roadwork sites across the state,” Mr Wallace said.“You can’t spend $18 billion on roadworks like we’re doing over the next five years without causing a bit of disruption.“What we do want to ensure though is that the signage being used to advise motorists is clearly displayed and consistent at all worksites so it remains effective.“We know we can reduce driver frustration by ensuring smooth reductions in speed around worksites and by ensuring speed reductions through inactive worksites at night and on weekends are only in place when required for safety due to changed road conditions."
