Western Queensland best practice guidelines

Western Queensland Best Practice GuidelinesThe Guidelines were designed specifically for Western Queensland's dry road building environment. They capture the knowledge of experienced people and build on past research efforts. A consistent approach is used in addressing the pavement issues. The framework of guidelines can be used as a reference to reduce the risk associated with design, construction, maintenance and operation of roads.
