Truck Rest Areas: Caravan Road Safety Tips

In this road safety video, Caravanning Queensland partners with the Queensland Trucking Association to explain how caravanners can safely share the road with trucks. Truck drivers have a legal obligation to stop and manage fatigue while transporting goods, so it is important for caravan and camping travellers to recognise rest area signage and understand which stops are reserved for truck drivers only. The video also highlights the value of displaying a UHF channel on the caravan and using it to communicate with truck drivers when approaching or looking to pass, helping everyone travel more safely. The key message: plan ahead, communicate clearly and stay aware of other road users for a safer trip.
