Traffic Management Roles
Does your company need a relief traffic manager, or assistance with traffic management for a development or roadworks? Andy Davis and Craig Nethery both recent experience acting in the role of Traffic Manager on major road projects for a number of civil construction companies. Craig has recently spent 18 months in the Traffic Manager role on the Eungai to Macksville section of the Pacific Highway Upgrade project for Pacifico, and is still providing ongoing advice.

State Government Funding
A recent notification from the RMS indicates that applications for Black Spot and other RMS funding for roadworks will benefit if the application is supported by a Road Safety Audit report. As you would be aware, a Road Safety Audit is a formal examination, conducted by an independent and suitably qualified team of professionals. The audit team members need to be certified on the Transport NSW Register of Road Safety Auditors. StreetWise staff have the qualifications and the experience to assist all NSW councils with their future applications for Black Spot and other Safer Roads funding.
