Roll-Coupling Policy – Have Your Say
In recent years, WA has seen a considerable increase in heavy vehicle rollover incidents. As a result, Main Roads Heavy Vehicle Services (HVS) is developing a Roll-Coupling Policy to support the safe and consistent design and operation of heavy vehicle combinations across Western Australia.
To help develop this, we partnered with Tiger Spider, an independent transport engineering company with extensive experience in heavy vehicle safety performance, who carried out detailed research, testing and analysis. This has been used to shape a draft policy and design approach — and now we’d like to hear from you.
Whether you're a vehicle manufacturer, engineer, designer or operator, your experience and insight are important in making sure this policy works in practice.
The consultation period has now closed.
The webinar remains available to view - please follow the instructions below to access.
