Large agricultural vehicles on roads in Australia
Other Publication ResearchOnline@JCUAbstract
This study is the first in Australia to explore the safety of large agricultural vehicles (LAVs) on public roads. LAVs are a requirement of farming and need to be on public roads as part of the business of agriculture and to ensure food and fibre productions. From the research, it is clear that different types of LAV are on roads all year round, however are predominately moving small distances during the day. While there are incidents on public roads, the numbers are small, but more work could be undertaken immediately in educating the public about how to interact with LAV on public roads. These community education campaigns could highlight the need for LAVs to be on roads and what to do when you encounter them, as-well-as a wider campaign around respecting all people on roads. Incorporating information in the written test to achieve your driver’s license was identified as a cost effective ongoing way to educate new drivers.
