Best use of existing freeway infrastructure

The technology used to operate smart freeways provides innovative ways to tackle congestion on freeways.

Will Intelligent Transport System technologies be rolled out across the entire freeway network?

Intelligent Transport System technologies may well be considered for other locations on our freeway network. However, each project will be considered on its own merits and will undergo a rigorous process to ensure the right solution for the area and the network is identified.

Where else have Smart Freeways been used?

Smart Freeways are also known as Managed Motorways, Smart Motorways or Managed Freeways. They can be found in North America, Asia and Europe, along with most eastern states of Australia.

Our smart freeways are being built using a ‘safety first’ best practice approach. We’ve taken the best elements from other jurisdictions and tailored a mix of technology and people skills to suit the local environment.
