   b) Section 6.5 - Positioning of Signs and Devices
      Signs and devices are to be positioned and erected so that:
      a) they are properly displayed and securely mounted.
      b) they are within the line of sight of the intended road user.
      c) they cannot be obscured from view (e.g. by vegetation or parked cars).
      d) they do not obscure other devices from the line of sight of the intended road user
      e) they do not become a possible hazard to workers, pedestrians, cyclists or vehicles
      f) they do not deflect traffic or vulnerable road users into an undesirable path
      g) they do not restrict sight distance for drivers entering from side roads, streets or private driveways
      h) they are not installed using supports that could be a hazard if struck by a vehicle.

        It is important that pavement markings and raised pavement markers are considered in conjunction with the
        placement of other delineation devices, temporary barriers and channelising barricades, to ensure road users are safely
        directed through the site without conflicting messages. Delineating devices (e.g. traffic cones, bollards, post mounted
        delineation) should be placed as per the location on the TGS as designed by the TMD, or if not noted should generally
        be placed as follows:
        a) Edge of traffic lane to line of traffic cones, bollards or longitudinal channelising devices:
                i. 0.3m offset for posted speed limit during roadworks up to and including 65 km/h
                ii. 0.5m offset for posted speed limit during roadworks over 65 km/h
        b) Edge of traffic lane to road work delineation or temporary hazard markers – 1.0 m
        c) Edge of traffic lane to road safety barrier system:
                i. 0.3m for a posted speed limit during roadworks up to and including 40 km/h
                ii. 0.5m for a posted speed limit during roadworks 50 km/h to 60km/h
                iii. 1.0m for a posted speed limit during roadworks 70 km/h to 80km/h
                iv. 2.0m for a posted speed limit during roadworks greater than 80 km/h

   c)   Sections 6.3 & 8.3 - Setting out and Recovery of Devices.
        (Relevant point summary only refer AGTTM Part 6 for full details)
        Fundamental principles that should be complied with to ensure safety during this work activity are that:
        •    travel should only be in a forward direction on any road
        •    the TTM vehicle may be used as added protection considering the: – availability of safe park up area(s) near the
             signage placement location
              –     line of sight to approaching vehicles
              –     visibility of the worker and TTM vehicle to approaching vehicles
              –     location of signage/devices on vehicle which need to be accessed
              –     worker access to vehicle (e.g. not through crush zones)
              –     available space on road shoulder or median
              –     geometry/terrain of shoulder or median
              –     distance between vehicle and travel path / shoulder drop off
              –     TMI proximity to ‘expected travel path while traversing between vehicle and signage location
              –     likely area in which the vehicle may move if impacted
              –     availability of ‘gaps in traffic’ or lookout
        •    turn around procedures must be conducted in a safe and legal manner
        •    TMI must face the traffic when placing devices
        •    all workers must know their escape route at all times
        •    the vehicle mounted warning device must be operating and the hazard/arrow board used as required
        •    all workers must wear correct PPE
        •    a look out person/spotter must be used for all activities where required in accordance with AGTTM Part 5
        •    full co-ordination of any ITS infrastructure which may assist the TGS installation
        •    the locations and types of devices are recorded in the diary
        •    the TGS is implemented as approved and a copy is available on site.

        If it is considered too dangerous due to speed or volume to install the TGS using the protections defined in AGTTM Part
        5, then consideration needs to be given to adopting a mobile convoy (refer AGTTM Part 4) or other controls e.g.
        manual traffic control to hold traffic during installation under its own TGS (refer AGTTM Part 3). A different installation
