Which of the following road catagory will you work in?
Explanation of road categories
There are three temporary traffic management road categories to reflect the different levels of complexity and safety risks across the road network.
The Traffic Management Catagory map on the VicRoads website provides a colour-coded representation of the road catagories:
Category | Details | Map Colour |
|---|---|---|
Category 1 | Most urban and lower volume rural roads with a posted speed limit of ≤ 60 km/h. Characteristics range from roads with or without a centreline, sealed and unsealed, with a single lane (one lane in each direction), including instances where there is an overtaking lane available for an otherwise single lane road. | Orange |
Category 2 | High-volume roads, excluding freeways. Characteristics include signalised intersections, multi-lane or divided roads, and major urban roads. These are mostly arterial roads and include complex environments, such as two-lane roundabouts. | Blue |
Category 3 | High volume, high speed multi-lane freeways with a divided carriageway, including on-ramps and off-ramps. | Red |
