Restricting access to southbound lane of Hume Fwy, Tallarook.

This restriction was applied following a review. As these vehicles do not have telematics tracking, a condition such as reduced speed cannot be enforced. The matter will continue to be reviewed by Assets & Engineering; however, in the meantime, access cannot be approved.

Removing access from Kimba Rd and Story Rd, Cowell.

Kimba Rd from Melrose to Story Rd and Story Road from Kimba Rd to Lincoln Highway have insufficient geometry to support B-Double and Road Train operation, therefore, continued access for B-Doubles and Road Trains would pose significant risk to public infrastructure and safety.
