TC17.8 Line Marking Amendments - Cow Creek Bridge, Sussex Inlet Road, Sussex Inlet (PN 3360)
HPERM Ref: D17/41259
Convenor: Martin Upitis
Attachments: 1. Line Marking Amendments - Sussex Inlet Rd, Sussex Inlet ⇩
That the General Manager (Director Assets and Works) be requested to arrange for the installation of 230m (approx.) double barrier (BB) centre line marking and 170m (approx.) BS centre line marking along Sussex Inlet Road ensuring a 10m break at its intersection with Old Berrara Road, as detailed in the attached plan TRAF 2017/08. |
Details
Council has been advised of concerns with motorists overtaking on Cow Creek Bridge, Sussex Inlet Road, Sussex Inlet.
Access to Old Berrara Road is adjacent to Cow Creek Bridge and traffic heading east need to turn right just after the bridge. Although the speed limit has been reduced for this section, overtaking is allowed on the bridge. This has resulted in a number of near misses when cars attempting to turn right into Old Berrara Road have experienced being overtaken as they turn.
Council has been requested to extend the double barrier line marking across the bridge to prevent motorists overtaking at this intersection
Traffic Unit staff inspected the site and noted that extending the double barrier line marking 230m (approx.) across Cow Creek Bridge to the intersection of Old Berrara Road would aid in preventing motorists overtaking on Cow Creek bridge, whilst still allowing adequate overtaking opportunities past the Old Berrara Road intersection.
