In the Adelaide metropolitan area some major long-term roadworks are starting. For example, Blakewell Bridge is affecting the major CBD bypass.
Currently does someone in SAFECOM issue a recommendation on routes for emergency service vehicles to bypass major roadworks ?
When the South Road and Anzac Highway work starts, this will be a major delay for emergency service vehicles.
Is anything in place for country areas ?
Or is it up to every brigade/unit/station to figure out routes in their local area from the 'current roadworks section' of The Advertiser ?
with the CFS, just a notification normally does the job. Then from there brigade members local knowledge is usually enough.
you can get a daily faxed sheet of roadworks from TransportSA.
SOCC get a dialy roadworks data sheet... if there is anything major affecting CFS area they should notify the appropriate region.
We rely on our local grapevine one member sees something I drop a page for all to know :lol:
