The truck, the road and accessible rest areas are their workplace. Fatigue is one of the top three behavioural factors for heavy trucks involved in serious crashes on NSW roads.  </p><p><em><strong>From 2014 to 2023*, there were 39 fatigued heavy truck drivers involved in fatal crashes and 217 fatigued heavy truck drivers involved in serious injury crashes.</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>In these fatal and serious injury crashes from 2014 to 2023, 32 fatigued heavy truck drivers were killed and 201 fatigued heavy truck drivers were seriously injured.</strong></em></p><p>In addition to complying with regulation relating to driving hours and mandatory rest breaks, truck drivers need rest stops to manage fatigue and personal welfare. Truck drivers use these facilities to rest and access essential services such as toilets, showers and food. </p><p>There are over 1,372** heavy vehicle rest stop locations across NSW which are either classified as formal or informal and are managed by different road managers. These sites are often the only opportunity for truck drivers to stop and rest due to access restrictions on heavy vehicles entering the NSW road network. </p><p>Heavy vehicle crash statistics are available on the <a href="https://www.transport.nsw.gov.au/roadsafety/statistics/interactive-crash-statistics#Heavy_vehicles">Centre for Road Safety website</a>.</p><p><sup><em>* Crash data from Transport for NSW Safe System Analytics (SSA) reporting system.  <br><br> ** Figures based on Transport for NSW regional NSW and Greater Sydney heavy vehicle rest stop audits against the Austroads guidelines.</em></sup></p><h3>Plan rest stops along your journey</h3><p>Visit the online Rest Areas Map to locate heavy vehicle rest areas and plan your breaks across NSW.</p><p><a class="btn btn--primary" href="https://maps.transport.nsw.gov.au/egeomaps/rest-areas/index.html" title="View">View Rest Area Map</a></p><p> </p><h2>Freight industry engagement</h2><p>Transport is working in consultation with the freight industry and heavy vehicle drivers to improve heavy vehicle rest areas in NSW.</p><p>Formal engagement with the road freight industry has highlighted a range of challenges and needs on the current state of the provision of rest stops for heavy vehicle drivers in NSW including: </p><ul><li>capacity issues at existing rest stops</li><li>lack of access to or provision of basic amenities and maintenance quality</li><li>design of rest stops need to be fit for purpose to meet industry needs</li><li>more heavy vehicle rest stops are required </li><li>changing industry practices including the uptake of higher productivity vehicles, decoupling and shuttling.</li></ul><p>For more information on industry consultation and resulting feedback, please review the engagement reports below: </p><ul><li><a data-entity-substitution="media" data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="cec4d98a-20fe-4514-8f0f-18fe8560d651" href="/system/files/media/documents/2023/HVRS-Engagement-Report-2023.pdf" title="HVRS Engagement Report 2023 (WACG)">Heavy Vehicle Rest Stop Stakeholder Engagement Report – August 2023 (PDF, 1.58 MB)</a></li><li><a href="https://www.transport.nsw.gov.au/system/files/media/documents/2024/western-sydney-hvra-stakeholder-engagement-report-2024-04.pdf">Western Sydney Heavy Vehicle Rest Area Engagement Report – April 2024</a> </li></ul><h2>Heavy Vehicle Rest Stop improvement projects</h2><details class="accordion"><summary class="accordion__title"><h3>HVRS Improvement Program for Regional NSW</h3></summary><div class="accordion__content details-wrapper"><p>Transport is developing a Heavy Vehicle Rest Stop Improvement Program Strategic Business Case to improve the heavy vehicle rest stopping across the regional State Road Network.</p><p>The program is informed by an audit of existing formal heavy vehicle rest stops against the Austroads Guidelines for the Provision of Heavy Vehicle Rest Area Facilities.
