Parking on the bridge for Light Vehicles

The driver must have a thorough understanding of the access requirements and control measures in place for entering and operating on the bridge.

Engage park brake Turn steering wheel (full lock) so that the wheels are facing into the bridge rails.

Must be put into 1st gear when parked

AUTOMATIC VEHICLES

INCORRECT

Do not leave any vehicle parked on the bridge with the front wheels pointing straight ahead.


Ensure at all times that the front wheels are fully locked so that if the hand brake or the gears fail, the vehicle will roll into the bridge rails and not into passing traffic.

In the event of an emergency:

    1. Raise the alarm with fellow workers and your Manager/Supervisor.
    2. Secure the area if it is safe to do so, then proceed to the designated muster point in your area.
    3. Your Manager/Supervisor will notify the West Gate Bridge Security Control Room or the VicRoads Traffic Management Centre (both manned 24/7) by radio or mobile phone, reporting the number of people present at the muster point.
    4. Ensure you are familiar with the location of your muster point—if unsure, ask your Supervisor.
    5. Follow the instructions of the Fire Warden or Supervisor at all times.
