The following general amended definitions apply when reading the Queensland Guide to Traffic Management Part 10: Transport Control – Types of Devices.

AGTM Part 10: Austroads Guide to Traffic Management Part 10: Transport Control – Types of Devices, as amended by this document; for example, a reference to AGTM Part 10 means the reader must refer to the Austroads Guide to Traffic Management Part 10: Transport Control – Types of Devices, and the Queensland Guide to Traffic Management Part 10: Transport Control – Types of Devices (QGTM Part 10). Throughout AGTM Part 10, references are made to other Parts of the AGTM (for example, when reading AGTM Part 10, the reader may be referred to AGTM Part 3 for further information). In such cases, the reader must refer to the equivalent Part within the QGTM first. Check the applicability of the equivalent QGTM Part before referring to the referenced AGTM Part. Similarly, references may be made to other Austroads Guides (for example, when reading AGTM Part 10, the reader may be referred to the Guide to Road Safety Part 3: Speed Limits and Speed Management). In such cases, the reader must refer to the equivalent Queensland Guide first, where such exists. Check the applicability of the equivalent Queensland Guide before referring to the referenced Austroads Guide Part.
