Main Roads does undertake a Support Agency role for such incidents by undertaking repairs to road assets, providing road maintenance equipment and or material upon request and advising the travelling public of major traffic incidents through radio stations variable message signs on the road network. Main Roads continually monitors the freeway system through the use of fixed cameras and a team of Highway Emergency Response Officers (HEROS). This level of monitoring is considered appropriate for Perth’s current traffic conditions.
