2Design Process#

2.2Risk Assessment#

Replace:

It is important to note that a Design Exceptions Report must be approved by the relevant Road Infrastructure Manager (RIM) and road authority if design exceptions are made or published standards or the AGTTM are not adhered to.

with:

Where variations to the treatments in the Queensland MUTCD Part 3 or QGTTM are proposed, a risk assessment certified in accordance with the requirements of Clause 1.9 of Queensland MUTCD Part 3 must be undertaken.

2.5Essential Design Principles#

2.5.3Signs#

Replace the following dot point:

• signs that are not relevant during works must be removed or covered as it is essential that all signs at the worksite or varied travel route accurately represent the prevailing conditions at all times.

with:

• vehicle-mounted signs that are not relevant (during works or after works) must be removed or covered as it is essential that all vehicle-mounted signs accurately represent the prevailing conditions at all times.

It is important to consider the impact of existing static signs on the mobile works operations and while it may not always be practicable or possible as part of mobile works operations to remove or cover existing static signs, any existing static signs which may cause conflict or a safety issue for the mobile works operations should be treated, especially if the mobile works operation is stationary for a period. Subject to a risk assessment, existing static signs along a route may remain in place during mobile works operations.

2.5.7Variations to Design#

Refer to Clause 1.9 of the Queensland MUTCD Part 3.

2.5.8Combining different works protection methods#

Combining different works protection methods at the one mobile works site is permitted where the requirements for the different works protection methods are met.

Within a mobile works site, a static work site treatment (QGTTM Part 3) or short-term low-impact works protection methods (QGTTM Part 5) may be used when appropriate and when satisfying the risk assessment and other provisions and criteria of the different works protection methods.

When a static work site treatment (QGTTM Part 3) or short-term low-impact works protection methods (QGTTM Part 5) are used in a mobile works site, the respective requirements of QGTTM Part 3 or Part 5 must be applied.
