Traffic management in surface mining and underground mining operations are worlds apart.
Delineation of mining roads can improve safety
Road edges should be delineated with guideposts to assist drivers to safely negotiate the roads and position their vehicles correctly during night time driving. Guideposts are important for indicating the alignment of the road ahead, especially at horizontal and vertical curves.
