    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Sets out standards for the provision of traffic signs, pavement markings and delineation at a variety of local area traffic management (LATM) devices including roundabouts, road humps, slow points, shared zones and related devices. Guidance in the planning and development of LATM schemes is also given.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This Standard describes the following commonly used types of local area traffic management (LATM) device:(a) Perimeter treatments.(b) Road humps.(c) Roundabouts.(d) Driveway links.(e) Slow points (one lane and two lane).(f) Modified T intersections.(g) Shared zones.(h) Road closures.It also specifies appropriate signs, delineation and pavement markings to be used in association with each device to achieve uniformity of practice in LATM schemes. Guidance is given in appendices on the illumination and reflectorization of signs; on the installation and location of signs; on the planning and development of LATM schemes; on road hump profiles and placement; and on the use of STOP and GIVE WAY signs.This Standard is applicable to non-arterial roads in urban areas.NOTES:1 Detailed specifications for the design and manufacture of the signs are given in AS 1743.2 This Standard is intended for use in conjunction with the various State, Commonwealth and Local Government regulations relating to LATM. Some regulatory devices described in this Standard may also be subject to specific control by those regulations.
