Western Queensland best practice guidelines

The 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.
