What's new and registration requests
Transport for NSW replaced the Roads and Traffic Authority in November 2011. All RTA traffic related documents current on 1 November 2011 still apply until they have either been replaced by a Transport for NSW document or superseded. Please refer to the lists of current traffic related documents on this website.
Latest news
12-02-2018: Traffic Signal Design Section 9 Posts has been updated with regard to some terminology, acceptable weights of posts, determining the clear zone, width of median for stage crossings, current usage of posts, heights, footing depths and length of mast arms.
Note: Because of the difficulty in keeping links up to date, Transport for NSW is systematically removing hyperlinks to other documents from all its traffic documents. Transport for NSW traffic documents can be found on the website. If you have difficulty finding any traffic documents, please Contact us.
