A.4Restricting access#
Section A.2 is specific to restricting access to a state-controlled road only, however there are standard signs and multi-message panels that may be used to restrict access to any road (including a state-controlled road). Standard signs may be used to place a permanent or temporary restriction on a road, including a load limit, bridge load limit, height limit or length limit on vehicles using a road. Refer to the Queensland MUTCD Part 2 Section 4 for options. As an example, the standard GROSS LOAD LIMIT (R6-4) sign may be used to apply a weight limitation on any road. It is important where access to a road is restricted that the start and end points of the restriction are identified. In association with using the R6-4 sign at the start of where the weight limit applies, an END (R7-4) plate is used with the R6-4 sign to indicate where the weight limitation ends. The same arrangements are possible in a multi-message sign, see Figure A.4.1.
