Heavy vehicles place far greater demands on a rural driveway or private road than ordinary cars. Trucks, tractors, livestock transporters, delivery vehicles and construction machinery apply concentrated loads through their tyres, often while turning, braking or travelling over soft ground. If the pavement, drainage and surface are not suited to that traffic, damage can appear as rutting, cracking, potholes or loose aggregate. For properties around Brisbane and across Sou
