Guide to Traffic Management Part 6: Intersections, Interchanges and Crossings Management is concerned with traffic management at all types of intersections where road users must join or cross another stream of traffic. It focuses on traffic management issues and treatments related to intersections, interchanges and crossings.
Part 6 describes the appropriate use of, and design of, the various intersection types and the techniques that need to be applied if efficient and safe intersections are to be provided to the road user. All categories of road use – including cars, trucks, public transport, motorcycles, cyclists and pedestrians, including people who have disability or mobility difficulty, are addressed in the Guide.
It does not provide information on the geometric design of the treatment as this is provided in the Austroads Guide to Road Design Part 4, 4A, 4B and 4C. Guidance on the management of road sections which are not part of the intersection or interchange is provided in the Austroads Guide to Traffic Management Part 5: Link Management.
The online version of the Guide is currently being built.
