Haulage roads are equipped with what?

• A. Berms, signs and guard rails
• B. Speed limits and traffic cameras
• C. Lighting and drainage
• D. Pavement markings only

Answer: (A)

Haulage road safety relies on physical barriers plus clear guidance for drivers. Berms along the sides act as raised barriers to keep loose material from spilling onto the road and to contain vehicles on the roadway, especially on grades or near edges. Signs provide warnings, directions, and speed guidance so drivers know hazards and how to proceed safely. Guard rails offer a protective edge barrier to prevent vehicles from leaving the road and potentially rolling over or dropping off steep sides.

Other features like lighting and drainage are important for visibility and water management, but they don’t provide the same direct protective function as berms, signs, and guard rails. Pavement markings alone guide traffic but don’t offer physical protection.
