Of these layouts those numbered 1, 3, 5, 6 and 7 are classified as T intersections under Road Traffic Code regulations. However, apart from intersections of the type shown as layout 6, special treatments are necessary to ensure they conform to the T intersection definition and regulations that apply. Those treatments include regulatory signs, warning signs and, in some cases road markings. Intersection types 2 and 4 are those, where in the absence of regulatory signs, normal give-way-to-the-right rules would apply.

Traffic signs are used to carry information to the road user. The signs may carry instructions which the road user is required to obey, warning of hazards or information about routes, destinations or points of interest. The number of signs should be restricted to the minimum, consistent with their particular requirements, as signs tend to lose their effectiveness with overuse.

Safety measures when usingelectricalappliances

Where any changes are made to signing requirements these shall be indicated on the drawing with the words 'INSTALL', 'RELOCATE" or REMOVE" above the particular sign.

The main dangers of electrical hazards are electrical shock and/or fire.  Nearly half of incidents involve people working on electrical equipment while it was energized.  Other causes of injury involved malfunctioning meters, faulty equipment and the use of equipment in close proximity to live electricity.

All pavement marking and signing design and as constructed drawing shall be longitudinally dimensioned starting from the nose of the central island. These dimensions shall be to the nearest metre. Clearances and widths of lanes and turning guide lines shall be dimensioned to the nearest 0.1 metre.

Some design requirements, which have been adopted by Main Roads and included in these standards, may vary from or are additional to the guidelines in the AUSTROADS 'Guide to Traffic Engineering Practice' and the Standards Australia Manual of Uniform Traffic Devices AS1742.

Unsealed carriageways may be an indication of low vehicle usage and, if this is so, it is acceptable and appropriate that regulatory signs be placed on the unsealed road approaches of Intersection Type 4. Regulations require traffic travelling on the unsealed road approaching a STOP sign or GIVE WAY sign to give way to all vehicular traffic. This includes traffic travelling on the intersecting carriageway as well as traffic turning right in front of vehicles on the STOP sign or GIVE WAY sign controlled approach. Whether GIVE WAY or STOP signs are appropriate is a matter of assessment of sight distance (in accordance with existing criteria). GIVE WAY lines or STOP lines as appropriate need only be installed where at least two metres of sealed pavement is available.

At the completion of the project, all completed drawings should be forwarded to Main Roads as original transparencies and on computer disk in DXF or DWG format. These disks and all drawings are deemed to be the property of Main Roads.

Manual material handling continues to be a high-risk hazard resulting in high numbers of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Here are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions.

Parking (R5-35A) - Signs controlling and prohibiting parking are used extensively in the vicinity of signalised intersections.

An electrical hazard is a dangerous condition where a worker can or does make electrical contact with ’live’ elements (parts that are normally energized) or items that may have become energized due to some type of failure. From that contact, the person may sustain an injury from shock, and there may be potential for the worker to be involved in an arc flash (electrical explosion) which can result in significant burns among other injuries.

This document does not re-write sections of the Australian Standards, but provides references to relevant sections of Standards along with approved Main Roads variations and additions to the Standards.

This policy is to be applied in conjunction with the policy guidelines to provide a consistent approach to the regulatory signing of intersections of unsealed carriageways with sealed carriageways on all roads in Western Australia.

Pavement markings shall be removed or obliterated where the road conditions or restrictions cause the markings to become redundant by the design of the intersection or traffic control signals.

Signals Ahead Symbolic Sign (W3-3B) - This sign is normally installed about 120 m from the intersection on all approaches to a signalised intersection. Street name tags (MR-GS-3 or 4) attached to the sign identify the particular road being approached.

For turning lanes, three arrows should be placed in that lane. The farthest arrow from the intersection in a turning lane should be placed where the lane is first fully developed.

Pavement markings includes the lines, symbols, letters, numerals and raised pavement markers used on road pavements or kerbs for the purpose of guiding the road user. Pavement markings are an important component of any intersection design and should be used accordingly, to enable the most efficient use of a particular intersection treatment.

Continuity lines are 150mm wide on freeways, bus and taxi lanes and bus bays and 120mm wide for normal usage. The dimensions for broken lane lines are 1.0m line segments with 3.0m gaps.

The treatments recommended in the following are the minimum that should be applied as a consequence of the absence of the previous regulation which required traffic on unsealed carriageways to give way to traffic on sealed carriageways. Intersections that are assessed as hazardous for other reasons should be treated as necessary using accepted traffic management practices including the application of signing standards according to AS 1742. This includes the need for warning signs on any of the approaches, or hazard markers, etc.

The purpose of this document is to detail Main Roads' policy on the regulatory signing of intersections where an unsealed carriageway intersects with a sealed carriageway.

Where any changes are made to signing requirements these shall be indicated on the drawing with the words 'INSTALL', 'RELOCATE" or REMOVE" above the particular sign.

For turning lanes, three arrows should be placed in that lane. The farthest arrow from the intersection in a turning lane should be placed where the lane is first fully developed.

The broken lane lines start at 9.0 m from the unbroken lane line on the approach to an intersection and from the median traffic signal post on the departure side of the intersection. The broken lines should not extend beyond the end of the double barrier line at the farthest point from the intersecting roads or where the lane width will be less than 3.0 m.

The choice and need for pavement arrows shall be determined and based on the requirements as set down in Australian Standard 1742.14 - Figure 6.1.

The Australian Road Rules were endorsed by all State and Territory Ministers for Transport in 1999 and the majority of those rules were included in Western Australia's Road Traffic Code 2000. Prior to the rules being adopted, the Road Traffic Code 1975 (Regulation 610) required all vehicular traffic on unsealed carriageways to give right-of-way to vehicular traffic on sealed carriageways. This regulation was a means of providing safety at these intersections and obviating the need for regulatory GIVE WAY signs. This regulation was not agreed Nationally, as is necessary, and consequently it was not included in the new Road Traffic Code 2000.

The length of the unbroken barrier line between lanes on traffic control signal approaches should normally be 25.0 m from the stop line. The length of the line may be extended or shortened (e.g. for driveways) where necessary and the safety of the road user is not compromised.

The 20.0 m from tail to head spacing between arrows may be adjusted to no less than 15.0 m or no greater than 30.0 m to enable provision of sufficient arrows.

These signs must be consistent with the pavement marking and the traffic control signal displays. A minimum of two signs shall be displayed for each direction of travel and attached to the signal posts that would have been used, had signal aspects controlling the banned turn been installed.
