This Part provides the requirements for the signing and pavement marking for toll roads. The signs and pavement markings included in this Part are used to provide direction signing for toll roads and shall be read in conjunction with the Queensland Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) Part 15 Direction signs, information signs and route numbering. This Part also includes additional signs which define the toll point or provide information on how to pay the toll, in addition to all the standard signs required in accordance with the MUTCD for the safe and efficient operation of the road network. These signing and pavement marking requirements will:

1. a)enable road users to identify lengths of road as a toll road which may be subject to a toll
2. b)identify the toll point locations
3. c)reduce instances of motorists mistakenly travelling through a toll point
4. d)provide information about how to pay a toll, and
5. e)define the road signing and pavement marking treatments for toll roads.

This uniform approach to the road signs and pavement marking treatment options for all toll roads will enable the travelling public to identify toll roads easily and understand and identify the location of toll points and the toll payment options, all of which are desired outcomes for both road users and toll road operators. Conformance with the requirements in this Part will require redesign, replacement or modification of existing signs on the road network. The requirements in this Part are to be applied to all new or replacement signs, with existing signs being replaced or modified over time as maintenance and other works dictate.
