Accessibility statement
NSW Traffic Control wants everyone to be able to use this website, including people who use screen readers, keyboard navigation, magnification or other assistive technology.
Standard we aim for
We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA. The site is currently partially conformant. Most pages meet the standard, but some content may not yet. The known gaps are listed below.
What we have done
- A "Skip to content" link on every page
- Every page and form can be used with a keyboard alone, with a visible focus outline that is not hidden behind the header or cookie banner
- Page structure uses headings, landmarks and labelled form fields for screen readers
- Images have text descriptions, and decorative images are hidden from screen readers
- Text and buttons meet WCAG colour contrast requirements in light and dark mode
- Pages reflow on small screens and when zoomed to 400% without sideways scrolling
- The accessibility menu (in the top navigation) lets you choose a light or dark theme, turn on high contrast, and adjust text size, line height and text spacing. The site also follows your device's reduced motion setting.
How we test
We check every page with an automated tool (axe) in light mode, dark mode, high contrast mode and on mobile screens. We also test keyboard access through every form and menu, and check that keyboard focus is never hidden.
Known limitations
- Our forms use Google reCAPTCHA to block spam. It is provided by Google and may not be fully accessible. If it stops you sending a form, please phone or email us instead.
- Some older blog posts may not fully meet the standard yet.
