B2Enforcement request and determination procedure#

B2.1Request for enforcement (by Contractor through Principal)#

1.Follow the speed management planning process as per the requirements of Section A2 of Appendix A.
2.Prepare documents as per the requirements of Section A3 of Appendix A.
3.When all recommended speed management measures as per Appendix A are considered exhausted or not feasible, complete the Enforcement Request Form.
4.Submit completed Enforcement Request Form and supporting documents to the Principal for approval, and
5.If directed by the Principal, Contractor submits the approved Enforcement Request Form to the relevant Highway Patrol Unit (HPU) for decision.

Enforcement strategies include:

Non-Camera Enforcement (Police presence, patrols and use of hand-held enforcement devices such as LIDAR), and
Camera Enforcement (mobile speed camera, temporary unattended speed camera placements, fixed speed camera, RBMS camera, point-to-point speed camera or combined red light with speed camera).

Decision process:

1.Upon receipt of the Enforcement Request Form from the Contractor by the Contract Administrator, the Principal will review the proposal, which may require a site inspection by the RBMS camera contractor. Subject to RBMS camera availability, and suitability report from the RBMS camera contractor, the Principal determines whether RBMS enforcement is the most suitable enforcement strategy. The RBMS camera contractor is to develop an enforcement plan and submit it to the Principal for approval. The Principal informs the Contractor of the enforcement decision.
2.If the RBMS camera enforcement is deemed not suitable or feasible, the Principal advises the Contractor to follow Step 5 of Section B2.1. Once the Principal approves the Enforcement Request Form from the Contractor, the relevant HPU will review the proposal, which may require a site inspection to determine whether enforcement can be undertaken safely and to develop an enforcement plan. In cases where enforcement requires a camera-based enforcement strategy, other than RBMS camera deployment, these matters may be referred to the Officer in Charge, Road Safety Camera Office. It is important to note that, while Police may agree a site is suitable for enforcement, attendance at the site will be influenced by other policing priorities. The HPU informs the Contractor of the enforcement decision.

The RBMS camera contractor or HPU will liaise with the Contractor regarding site access and proposed dates and times of enforcement.

1.The Contractor shall arrange to install the signs in the layout TC2320 (SIGN LAYOUT PRIOR TO DEPLOYMENT of SPEED CAMERAS AT ROADWORK SITES) in advance of the camera enforcement site and advise the RBMS camera contractor or HPU that the sign(s) have been installed prior to enforcement commencing. Where enforcement is undertaken by means other than a speed camera, use TC2361.
2.The Contractor shall ensure signage is maintained in accordance with the approved TGS and appropriate records kept, in accordance with this Technical Specification. Copies of records shall be sent to the Principal on a daily basis for the duration of the period that the site is being enforced.
3.The Contractor shall arrange to accommodate the enforcement device in accordance with the requirements of the RBMS camera contractor or HPU to enable all parties to meet their Workplace Health and Safety obligations.
4.The RBMS camera contractor shall store the detailed device log securely, including the Variable Speed Limit Sign (VSLS) face attached to the RBMS camera. Stored records shall be transferred to the Contractor on a weekly basis to be readily available for the duration of the project and beyond, consistent with the recordkeeping obligations of both the RBMS camera contractor and the Contractor.
5.The Contractor must ensure that the RBMS camera contractor and the HPU are kept up-to-date with all traffic staging within the site and the project completion date.

1.The Contractor shall, for the duration of the works, monitor the site where enforcement activity has been implemented to ensure it is operating safely and effectively.
2.This monitoring may be incorporated into the daily routine checks of roadwork signs required under the QGTTM Part 6, Part 10 and through speed surveys. Accurate records of the monitoring undertaken, analysis of results and any changes made to the TMP and/or TGS must be kept. These records should be documented, secured and kept for a duration that meets evidentiary requirements (should they be required to support or defend any future court action).
