Not authorised —indicative only Transport Operations (Road Use Management) Act 1995 Chapter 1 Preliminary [s 4] (iv) support a reasonable level of community access and mobility in support of government social justice objectives; and (c) provide for the effective and efficient management of vehicle use in a public place. (2) This Act establishes a scheme to allow— (a) identification of vehicles, drivers and road users; and (b) establishment of performance standards for vehicles, drivers and road users; and (c) establishment of rules for on-road behaviour; and (d) monitoring of compliance with this Act, including by using alternative compliance schemes; and (e) management of non-performing vehicles, drivers and road users; and (f) control of access to the road network, or parts of the road network, for vehicles, drivers and road users; and (g) management of traffic to enhance safety and transport efficiency. (3) It is acknowledged that the objectives as stated in subsection (1), and the scheme as outlined in subsection (2), are limited in their application to heavy vehicles to the extent that the national scheme for facilitating and regulating the use of heavy vehicles on roads, having effect in Queensland as the Heavy Vehicle National Law (Queensland), applies to heavy vehicles in the place of this Act. 4 Achieving an appropriate balance between safety and cost (1) Although it may be possible to regulate to achieve the highest level of safety, doing so would ignore the impact of the regulation on the effectiveness and efficiency of road use. (2) Therefore, this Act acknowledges the need to achieve an appropriate balance between safety, and the costs that regulation imposes on road users and the community.
