Abstract

While they carry only limited traffic volumes, low volume roads perform an essential social function in connecting communities. They form a significant component of the Australian road network and should therefore be constructed and maintained in order to provide a sustainable, effective, efficient, safe and reliable service. However, funding for them is often limited. Therefore, innovative and best practice network management strategies are required to ensure their productivity, safety, usability, social equity, sustainable environmental management, and resilience.
To investigate current strategies for managing them, a survey was conducted of management practices for low volume roads and their networks in New South Wales, Australia. The research found that enhancements to current practices were possible and made recommendations for their improvement. Leveraging funding, ensuring that new low volume roads meet future traffic demands, and continuing to investigate best practices for life cycle based sustainable asset management were found to be the most successful strategies to meet these challenges.
