The Design of Roads and Streets manual is intended to be a reference for designers, planners and engineers. It pulls together design solutions, design parameters and local examples to guide practitioners in making contextual improvements to roads, streets and civic spaces.

Join us to learn about all the features of the Design of Roads and Streets manual, hear about how the principles of the manual are being applied in NSW and have an opportunity to ask the authors questions.
