6Approval to erect, change or remove signs#

6.1Traffic incident management#

Proposed diversion routes and the associated signing should be conceived and endorsed by the local Transport and Main Roads Incident Management Working Group (IMWG). Where a Transport and Main Roads region has not established an IMWG, the department shall, as a minimum, consult with Queensland Police Service's local Regional Traffic Coordinator and the local government authority. Local government consultation is particularly important where a proposed diversion is likely to affect traffic and the pavement condition of the local road network. Transport and Main Roads shall seek written approval from the local government authority's Chief Executive Officer regarding the placement of diversion route signing on the local road network. While local government must be consulted about diversion route signing on their road network, the Transport and Main Roads Regional Director shall have final authority for approving the installation of diversion route signing on and from the state-controlled road network.

6.2Heavy vehicle management#

Where a proposed diversion route from the state-controlled road network uses the local road network, Transport and Main Roads shall liaise and seek written approval from the relevant local authority. Local government consultation is particularly important where a proposed diversion is likely to affect traffic and the pavement condition of the local road network. While local government must be consulted about diversion route signing on their road network, the Transport and Main Roads Regional Director shall have final authority for approving the installation of diversion route signing on and from the state-controlled road network.
