Speed Layers¶

Speed Signs¶

The Speed Signs Layers Can be accessed via the Speed Folder in the Layer Tree.

The Layer can be viewed using the 6 diferent thematics.

Speed Signs - Standard¶

Standard Speed Limits signs display the standard maximum speed at which vehicles are legally permitted to travel on specified public roads.

Speed Signs - Cautionary¶

Cautionary Speed Limit signs may be used to advise motorists of the maximum speed at which they are advised to travel at, due to the temporary nature of the road surface during and following roadworks.

These limits are not enforceable under the Road traffic Act and are generally in the range of the odd numbers; 25, 35, 45, 55, 65 or 75 km/hr.

Speed Ramps¶

Speed Ramps are added using the Surface Type App (MapRoad PMS - Mobile Application).

The Surface Type App is an Android based application that forms part of the MapRoad Mobile Suite of Apps. Similar to the Pavement Surface Condition Index (PSCI) App, the Surface Type App is used to visually capture the surface material type in use on local and regional roads in each Local Authority.

The results of the Surface Type survey are captured using a Samsung Galaxy 10.1 Tablet. Once a survey has been completed the results can be instantly uploaded (using 3G or WiFi) to a Server hosted by the Local Government Management Agency (LGMA). Once successfully uploaded the results of the Surface Type survey are immediately visible (as a map layer) within the Pavement Management System (PMS).
