Operating the Pacific Highway

Operating the Pacific Highway means taking into account the factors impacting on the road network over its life, including weather conditions, traffic volume, heavy vehicle usage, ongoing maintenance and projects to make upgrades and improvements.Rest areas and Driver Reviver are strategically positioned to provide opportunities for drivers to take breaks when they recognise the warning signs of fatigue, which contributes significantly to travel safety and efficiency. View the NSW Rest Areas interactive map.Taking a break while driving long distances Roads and Maritime encourages drivers to 'stop, revive, survive'.Operating the road network

Heavy Vehicle Safety Stations

Heavy Vehicle Safety Stations are part of Roads and Maritime Services heavy vehicle compliance program, which include Roads and Maritime mobile enforcement and the Safe-T-Cam network across New South Wales. Find out more about Heavy Vehicle Safety Stations on the Pacific Highway.

Bypassed towns signage trial

The bypassed towns signage trial aims to encourage travellers to stop and visit bypassed towns in regional and rural NSW.

Roads and Maritime Services in consultation with Destination NSW has chosen Berry off the Princes Highway, Holbrook off the Hume Highway and Macksville off the new Pacific Highway to be involved in the pilot program.
