Victoria's Class 2 approved Performance Base Standards (PBS) Level 2B (Cubic) network map.
This network is pre-approved. Unlike gazetted networks, where permits are not a requirement for travel on roads mapped approved (green) or conditionally-approved (orange), an NHVR-issued Class 2 PBS permit and a PBS Vehicle Approval are both required to operate vehicles on this network. The permit must indicate that access has been granted to this pre-approved network. Both the Class 2 PBS Permit and PBS Vehicle Approval must also be available to be presented upon request.
This map applies to all PBS Level 2 compliant vehicles up to 30 metres long operating under permit including A - doubles.
Roads shown as approved (green) or conditionally approved (orange) are pre-approved for annual permit access, as are signed detours. This map is deemed to include any detour around a road closure on a pre-approved road, provided it is marked with detour signage. Roads not shown as green or orange, with the exception of signed detours, require road manager approval for access by permit.
Note: Operators must comply with mass and height clearance restrictions as indicated by symbols (red dots for mass and orange diamonds for height). Restricted rail crossings (red crossing symbols) must not be crossed.
To legally access conditionally approved (orange) roads with orange rail crossing symbols operators are required to seek approval from the DEDJTR Over Dimension Load Team by calling (03) 8392 7720 or 0417 054 626 or emailing [email protected]
