2. Numerous signs
Generally clean and in good condition
Delineators (painted bamboo) used
Sincere efforts appear to have been made.
3. The four zones not used
Insufficient advanced warning
Some warnings not clear or specific
No speed restrictions
Concrete blocks holding the painted bamboo
delineators
Inconsistent line marking
Many rocks and stones on edge of road
Workers not wearing reflective safety vests
Machinery on road but no warning
4.
5. Long term road works.
Traffic passes through the work site, except at the end where
there is a side track.
Is there a Traffic Management Plan for the road works?
Good advance warning at each end is essential.
Advance warning of each main work site is necessary.
Consistent regulatory speed limit is necessary – 40km/h
More consistent delineation – lines and cones.
Clearer messages on signs about what is ahead
All workers to wear safety vests.
76. When I looked at this photo I saw a family travelling with their
little girl. She has her Mickey Mouse bag. She could be an
Indonesian girl or an Australian girl – and she deserves
protection. She is at risk here! We must do better in road works

South Gippsland Highway, Victoria

79. Large water pipe was to be placed under a rural highway
Approx 8,000vpd, 100km/h speed limit
A side track was decided
Farm land was purchased – to be sold back to the farmer later
Careful planning went into the entire task.
I audited the work – twice!
The side track was to last for less than one week (in fact it
lasted 4 days)
Cost $50,000AUD
99. This example is not to show that all road works in Australia are
great and wonderful.
Nor is it to expect Indonesia to spend $500,000 at each large
road work site.
But it does stress:
- work sites are important
- careful planning.
- attention to safety
- prevention rather than cure
When the work was ended, the asphalt was recycled and
reused. The land was sold back to the farmer.
