Road Occupancy License
Transport for NSW
A Road Occupancy License (ROL) is a permit issued by Transport for NSW (formerly Roads and Maritime Services) that allows an individual or organization to occupy a specified road space at approved times, provided certain conditions are met. The license applies to the occupation of the “road space” only and does not imply permission or approval for the actual (physical) works being undertaken.
ROLs are required for any activity that is likely to impact traffic flow, even if that activity takes place off-road. Examples of road occupancies include road maintenance such as resurfacing or line marking, lane closures around a building site (as a hazard reduction) or to get cranes or other equipment in and out.
Traffic NSW provides ROLs in a timely and professional manner, ensuring that the process is smooth and efficient. They have the expertise and experience to get it right the first time, which means that the applicant can be assured that their application will be processed quickly and accurately.
