April 30, 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n

The South Burnett Regional Council has begun installing QR2id safety markers along the South Burnett Rail Trail to improve safety for trail users.<\/p>\n

The markers, which will be sited every kilometre along the trail, will help emergency services workers locate trail users quickly in the event of an accident.<\/p>\n

They will also provide users with local information if they’re carrying a smartphone equipped with a QR code scanning app.<\/p>\n

While not all areas of the Rail Trail have adequate phone coverage at present, this situation is expected to alter when the South Burnett receives complete NBN coverage in the next few years.<\/p>\n

The installation of the safety markers is an initiative of the South Burnett Rail Trail Management Advisory Committee (SBRT MAC), which oversees the Council’s operation of the Rail Trail.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The markers are mounted on 1.5m bollards manufactured from recycled waste plastic, and the aluminium information plates are coated with exterior grade matte anodising.<\/p>\n

Individual plate data is burned on to them using a carbon dioxide laser.<\/p>\n

The SBRT MAC determined what information would be displayed on the markers, which all carry a unique identification number that can be used by emergency services workers to pinpoint a specific location.<\/p>\n

Rail Trail users will also be able to report issues to Council they might discover on the trail by reference to the nearest safety marker.<\/p>\n

News that the markers were being installed provoked an immediate positive reaction on social media when it was announced on Friday evening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
