Thanks to all members who replied, responded and viewed thread 96978 over the last two days. It is obvious from all that contact that we have a consensus that the magnitude and regularity of oversize loads in a concentrated location can be dangerous to the regular road user, and in particular, those who tow campers and caravans.
Main Roads WA provide many updated warnings on their web site @ www.mainroads.wa.gov.au but none have a particular reference to oversize loads? Given that each oversize load requires a registered permit, it would seem practical and not difficult for them to add an advice to their web site stating the frequency of oversized loads on any particular day on a particular road within a specific region.
I suggest that we all bring this topic to the attention of the Honourable Troy Buswell, Treasurer; Minister for Transport and Emergency
Services by emailing your thoughts and pictures to him at Minister.Buswell@dpc.wa.gov.au
Cheers, Cash.
