Objective
Optimising utilisation of the road network.
Key themes
- Operational performance
- Travel demand management
- Improving levels of service to specific users
Task force and review panel
The role of the network task force is to assist road and transport agencies in their efforts to optimise utilisation of the road network. The task force also uses the Australian Bicycle Council as a forum for engagement with stakeholders related to cycling.
There is also a traffic management review panel for the Austroads Guide to Traffic Management. The review panel advises on the scope, structure and broad content of the Guide, and facilitates development and on-going maintenance of the Guide.
