The Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) has committed to improving road safety across the Queensland road network. Roadworks, and the changes to the road (and roadside) environment, can raise safety and accessibility issues for people walking and riding bicycles. Roadworks can create an unsafe environment for these users if safe and appropriate alternative paths of travel and crossings are not provided.
The cyclist and pedestrian safety at roadworks course will provide:
- an overview of the key guidance and information to assist in creating safe roadworks sites for people who walk, ride bicycles and other path users,
- information on why safety and accessibility for people walking and riding at roadworks is important,
- information on how to safely provide for people who walk, ride bicycles and path users through roadworks, and
- practice examples and case studies of how to resolve common issues.
The course will cover the following topics:
- Safety issues for people walking and riding at traffic management sites.
- Relevant technical guidance, including guidance that might be used in tight situations.
- Examples of providing for path users and riders on roads.
- Considerations during planning, design, implementation, and operation.
There is a short quiz at the end of the course to reinforce key learnings.

About this course
Walking plays a critical role in an integrated transport system, while improving health, liveability, and environmental outcomes. Whether on foot (including running), moving with the help of a mobility device like a wheelchair, or pushing a child in a pram, walking is an important part of life for everyone. For most people, walking forms part of every trip. As a registered participant, you are required to participate in a one hour pre-course session before attending the course, as well as complete the pre-course assignment.
The Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) wants to make walking an easy choice for everyone, every day. This Queensland-specific training course equips participants to review, assess, plan, and design safe, accessible, and connected walking infrastructure to help achieve this vision.
The Walking Infrastructure Masterclass technical training course has been designed to provide participants with the knowledge and skills to plan and design best practice walking environments and facilities. The two-day course will also provide an explanation of TMR's Walking Network Planning Guidance.
