This Code of Practice describes the Main Roads Western Australia (MRWA)'s requirements for managing traffic at work sites on roads. It requires traffic management for works on roads to be based on AS 1742.3 -2002, unless otherwise specified by a requirement in this Code. In the event that that there is a conflict between this Code and AS 1742.3- 2002, the Code shall take precedence. The purpose of this Code is to specify any variations or additional requirements to AS 1742.3 -2002 which are required at works on roads in Western Australia. The underlying principles of this Code are to: 1. Ensure the safety of all road users and road workers; 2. Minimise the disruption and inconvenience to all road users resulting from works on roads; and 3. Establish uniform procedures for traffic management at work sites that can be easily recognised and understood by road users. The prescribed practices are the minimum requirements, on which the Traffic Management Plans (TMPs) for all Western Australian roads shall be based. (Author/publisher)
