Have experience in the design, delivery, or maintenance of transverse rumble strips? Let us know what worked, what didn’t, and anything interesting about your work.
Why do we want to know this?
In 2022/23, Austroads asked Safe System Solutions and our colleagues at CASR to find evidence-based road safety treatments that reduce death and serious injury on rural and remote roads. This was part of the Austroads project, Practical Approaches for Managing Regional Road Safety Priorities.
One treatment we have worked with extensively in the past is transverse rumble strips. However, it was noted that there has not been uniformity or consistency in their design, deployment, and maintenance across Australia and New Zealand. This led Austroads to commission us for our current rumble strips project, where we’re developing guidelines for their use in Australia and New Zealand. We’re keen to hear about your experiences.
(The PDF below is one of the fact sheets produced as part of our 2022/23 Austroads project. We created these short fact sheets to provide practitioners with initial answers as they deliberate on the appropriate treatments for different situations.)
