NHVR Portal provides standard conditions library

Road managers are bringing additional uniformity and consistency to access permit conditions with which operators are required to comply.

NHVR Access Manager Roger Garcia said the NHVR is currently transitioning all local and state government road managers to utilise the standard conditions library within the NHVR Portal.

“Two-thirds of all road managers are now utilising the full conditions library, with VicRoads being the first road manager to transition,” Roger said.

NHVR launches campaign targeted at light vehicle drivers

The NHVR has this week rolled out a major safety campaign targeted at light vehicle drivers.

The We Need Space campaign, which stars former Australian Supercars star Garth Tander and professional truck driver Kerri Connors and was recently launched by Victorian Roads Minister Jaala Pulford, targets common driving mistakes car drivers make around trucks.

“A Supercar race is held on a closed circuit, with masses of safety equipment, and cars all going in the same direction, all piloted by highly experienced and trained drivers,” Garth said.
