Customer service centre and practical driving test update 🔊 We’re working to reopen as many of our impacted SEQ customer service centres and restart practical driving tests as soon as possible 🕐 This may take a little longer in areas experiencing power outages, flooding and staffing challenges. We really appreciate your patience and understanding if your local customer service centre is affected, or if your driving test is cancelled for safety reasons. Customers will be contacted directly where practical driving tests are cancelled. To check if your local centre is open before visiting, please visit https://lnkd.in/gPkfdREP #SEQFlooding #RoadSafety #TMRServiceUpdate

Have you spotted these bright yellow boxes at intersections? 🚧 We’re trialling our innovative flood tuff units across key intersections in South East Queensland to protect critical road infrastructure as part of our Tropical Cyclone Alfred preparations. 🌀🌧️ These flood tuff units are designed to shield our electrical cabinets—which manage traffic signals, road lighting, and speed control—from flood waters up to five metres deep! 💡🚦 By safeguarding these systems, we’re working to keep communities connected and traffic operations continuing during and after severe weather events. These units are a key part of our cyclone response and recovery efforts to support local communities. We kindly ask that they remain in place for the safety of all road users. #FloodTuff #RoadSafety #CyclonePreparedness #SEQroads #Innovation #TrafficManagement

When sheltering at home, go to the strongest room in the house. It should be an internal room that is away from windows or glass doors, like a bathroom, walk-in wardrobe, or hallway. Take with you: 🐶 Everyone in your home, including pets. 🎒 Your emergency kit, drinking water 💧, phones 📱, and devices 🔋. 🎲 Games and other distractions, as well as pillows and bedding —you may need to stay there for several hours. 🎧 Noise-cancelling headphones for anyone who needs them. Outside will be noisy, like a roaring engine. 🛏 A mattress or heavy blanket to cover any windows if needed. Do not leave this space – the eye of the cyclone 🌀 will be quiet, and you may think it’s over. It’s most likely not! Being near doors or windows can be dangerous. Stay safe 🙏 and listen to emergency services and local weather updates through your local radio or via https://lnkd.in/g36vG9vH Queensland Reconstruction Authority #TCAlfred #GetReadyQueensland #StaySafeQueenslanders

As Tropical Cyclone Alfred approaches, TMR is closely monitoring network conditions across South East Queensland. Here's what you need to know: 🔹 Roads, bridges and tunnels: Roads, bridges and tunnels in SEQ remain open. TMR will not pre-emptively close bridges and roads in the lead up to Tropical Cyclone Alfred. 🔹 Brisbane’s Gateway Bridge: In response to weather conditions, the operators of the Gateway Bridge will reduce allowable speeds using the variable speed signs in accordance with their management plans. 🔹 Heavy vehicle operators: Please continue to make informed judgements about whether your specific vehicles are safe to operate in any windy conditions. Remember: Winds >50km/h: Slow down, stay alert. Winds >60km/h: High-risk for tall vehicles; avoid driving, seek safe parking. 🔹 All motorists: Please drive to the conditions, reduce speeds, as conditions deteriorate avoid unnecessary travel and remember if it’s flooded forget it. If the community is advised to shelter in place until the event concludes, all travel should cease.
