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.
This course sets out the design philosophy principles in technical documents standards, drawings and specifications which underpin the creation of a successful design. It will define the design domain concept where the design domain for a new road is traditionally referred to as the ‘normal design domain. It also expands into extended design domain and use of design exceptions with justification. These concepts and the reporting process are acknowledged in the TMR (Transport and Main Roads) Road Planning and Design Manual.

includes Road design engineers, designers, technicians, consultants, and local
authorities.
Prerequisites
Knowledge of road design and operation.
Business Benefits
Road design staff participating in this program
will walk away with expanded technical knowledge of design domain concept
parameters and use of design exception strategies to assist in their roles.
