93. The expert from Australia introduced GRVA-16-10/Rev.1, a proposal aiming to include the Australian lane markings in UN Regulation No. 130 (Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)) to facilitate effective functioning of the LDWS fitted to Australian supplied vehicles of category M2, M3, N2 and N3 primarily used under highway conditions, as studies showed that such systems were not always as effective as expected on this market.

94. The expert from OICA recalled that such proposal would impact trucks not being sold in Australia. He also recalled that such proposals would impact UN Regulation No. 79 due to cross references. He therefore proposed to introduce transitional provisions to the proposal. The expert from Japan welcomed the reasonable proposal made by the expert from Australia.
