For more information about the Midland Highway Safety Upgrades projects.
Sometimes a lower speed limit stays in place at roadwork sites even when no obvious work is occurring.
Speed limits on work sites are mandatory, meaning by law you must obey the speed limit and can be fined if you do not. The need to reduce the speed may not be obvious, but reduced speed limits are for your safety and the safety of road workers.
For more information about the Midland Highway Safety Upgrades projects, please visit http://www.midlandhighway.tas.gov.au/
Reduced speed limits and other traffic management are important for protecting road workers, and also to reduce the risks to the travelling public, including the risk of damage to vehicles.
Every Monday morning we send out the Roadworks Report - an email newsletter with a selection of major roadworks happening across the state. Sign up to our mailing list for roadworks updates.
