This webinar provides an overview of an Austroads study to develop suggested good practice for a consistent, efficient and safe approach to emergency egress signage within Australasian road tunnels.

It covers:

• how signage supports the requirements of the relevant phases of the evacuation process
• comparisons of signage within existing or under construction tunnels in Australasia and their alignment with local standards and international practice
• the results and conclusions of the assessment, including the recommended emergency evacuation signage for use within Australasian road tunnels
• other elements identified that are important in the context of supporting the evacuation process.
