Queensland residents draws to the attention of the House recent changes made in South Australia to their legislation (Road Traffic [Miscellaneous] {Roadworks} Variation Regulations 2021) reported in The South Australian Government Gazette dated Thursday, 4 March 2021 No 14 page 825 which comes into effect on 5 April 2021. This will now require traffic control companies to remove/cover speed restriction signs when no roadworks are actually taking place in the area. South Australian Government will now be imposing $1,250.00 fines on such companies.

Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to take immediate action to introduce and pass similar legislation into Queensland Parliament but to also include not only Traffic Control Companies but also developers and TMR and their contractors and give consideration to other changes within the above mentioned Regulation in this matter.
