  1. Traffic Rules Clarity February 2013 Mine Operations

  2. Priority One- Emergency Vehicles with flashing lights • Priority Two- Haul Trucks • Regardless of size or type • Haul truck to haul truck traffic always gives way to the left • Priority Three- Mobile Equipment • Priority Four- Light Vehicles Right of Way Priorities

  3. Work areas such as shovel pits, waste dumps, drill patterns, etc. • Areas may be permanent or temporary • Ex: Excavator working on haul road • Equipment could be travelling in any direction Exclusion Zone • 50m from any piece of working equipment • Used to control interactions between equipment and other vehicles • Positive Communication and permission from operator is required to enter the exclusion zone • Examples include: • Approaching a loading unit • Passing a loader building berm Operational Areas

  4. Park Brake MUST be applied • Demarcated Parking Areas • An area with a surface intended for parking vehicles and equipment • The speed limit in all park-up areas is 15 km/h • Must be parked in a manner that is fundamentally stable • Outside Demarcated Areas • Wheel chocks MUST be used • Keep a minimum of 6m between all parked equipment and vehicles to maintain visibility • Park in a safe area out of traffic Parking

  5. At no time shall a light vehicle or haul truck overtake another light vehicle or an operating haul truck • Maintain minimum 50m following distance behind haul trucks at times • No haul truck, equipment, or light vehicle shall stop, block, or impede any intersection • All vehicles approaching a stop sign must come to a complete stop. In absence of a stop sign apply “right of way protocol” Roadways

  6. A place where two or more roads meet • Right of Way Priorities are to be followed by all, unless a stop sign exists • Stop signs shall be followed by all vehicles and equipment • If any equipment or vehicle loses traction or breaks down in an intersection inform Mine Dispatch immediately on radio Channel 5 and clearly demarcate the area • Vehicles need to exercise caution when approaching all intersections Intersections

  7. Equipment of any size may perform a U-Turn using these steps • Conduct only where road width allows for one continuous turn to the driver’s good side • NO U-turns allowed at: • Intersections • Park-up areas • Where people are on the ground • Come to a controlled and a complete stop using wheels and turn signal to indicate U-turn • Ensure clear visibility in both directions and complete turn • Except for normal operation in an operational area, blind side U-turns require a spotter U-Turns
