PREFACE
This Handbook has been prepared to provide guidance for personnel engaged in short-term roadworks in urban areas. It is applicable to any works which are carried out entirely during daylight hours, and covers both mid-block and intersection works on all types of urban roads other than expressways and freeways. It is intended to be used primarily as a field reference guide. The Handbook has been prepared to cover a specific area of roadworks signage. It contains only those provisions of AS 1742.3*, which are considered to apply in the particular cases with which it deals, and for convenience, reproduces them in summary form. It is not intended to supersede AS 1742.3 and in any cases where there may appear to be differences in specified requirements or recommendations, or where matters could be interpreted differently from that Standard, it is intended that the Standard specification, recommendation or interpretation should prevail. The principal change from the previous (first) edition is the inclusion of OHS requirements for maintaining a safe workplace, see Paragraph 4. Assistance in the preparation of this Handbook was provided by representatives of the following organizations: Austroads Roadmarking Industry Association of Australia Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry Roads and Traffic Authority of N.S.W. Institute of Public Works Engineering Australia Transport S.A. Main Roads Department, Queensland Victorian Workcover Authority Main Roads, Western Australia WorkCover New South Wales National Works Officers Association Other Handbooks in this series are listed on the back cover.

* AS 1742.3, Manual of uniform traffic control devices, Part 3: Traffic control devices for works on roads.
