With two contracts being undertaken at the moment, this month I completed fee proposals for a further two potential contracts and received an enquiry about a fifth project. If this level of demand for traffic engineering services continues I may need to make plans for business expansion.
The ‘safe system’ approach to road safety advocates for safer roads, safer road users, safer speeds and safer vehicles. While travelling home from Rockhampton in the dark last night the ‘hold’ feature in our car’s automatic transmission seemed to be kicking in randomly without application from the driver. To disengage it, we had to pull over and stop the car a number of times. Each time we stopped I became more concerned about the risks involved with slowing down and pulling over in the dark, on a high speed road that has a narrow carriageway. I couldn’t help wondering whether the car was going to get us back home, and, if not, how cold and uncomfortable I would feel sleeping in it overnight.
My point? I’m not sure, but…..please make sure your vehicle is well cared for. And if you see someone in trouble on the roads your help might be appreciated. Travellers can be really vulnerable sometimes.
