The Shoalhaven Traffic Committee is a technical review committee, not a committee of Council under the Local Government Act 1993. The Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) has delegated certain powers to Council under the Transport Administration Act 1988 (Section 50). A condition of this delegation is that Council must take into account the Traffic Committee recommendations.

There are four formal members of the Traffic Committee, each of whom has a single vote only. The members are representatives from:

NSW Police Force
RMS
Shoalhaven City Council
Local State Member of Parliament (for the location of the issue to be voted upon)

If the RMS or NSW Police Force disagrees with any Traffic Committee recommendation, or Council’s resolution (on any Traffic Committee recommendation), they may lodge an appeal with the Regional Traffic Committee for determination. The appeal must be lodged in writing within 14 days of the date of notification in writing. Any action relative to any issue under appeal must cease until the matter is determined. The Regional Traffic Committee is chaired by an independent chairperson and submissions and representations are welcomed from all interested parties.

Council cannot amend a Traffic Committee recommendation. The Council can only: adopt the Traffic Committee recommendation; not adopt the Traffic Committee recommendation, or request the Traffic Committee reconsider the issue.

TC19.4 No Right Turn Removed - Queen St & Prince Alfred St Berry (PN 3529)

HPERM Ref: D19/8643

Convenor: Tom Dimec

Attachments: 1. Report Attachment - No Right Turn Removed - Queen St & Prince Alfred St Berry (PN 3529) ⇩

Recommendation

That the General Manager (Director Assets and Works) be requested to arrange for the removal of the ‘No Right Turn’ signage at the intersection of Queen Street and Prince Alfred Street, Berry, as detailed in the attached plan.

Details

Council has been requested to remove the ‘No Right Turn’ restriction at the intersection of Queen Street and Prince Alfred Street, Berry.

The Berry Forum (adopted Community Consultative Body) has advised Council that due to the reduction in traffic volume since the opening of the Berry Bypass that the ‘No Right Turn’ restriction is no longer required, in their view.

The ‘No Right Turn’ restriction was originally installed by NSW Roads and Maritime Services to remove congestion on the Princes Highway caused by right turning traffic blocking southbound traffic on the Princes Highway at the intersection.

Following the request by the Berry Forum, Council’s traffic unit inspected the location and noted that due to the lower traffic volumes now (post Bypass) the probability of queuing due to a vehicle waiting to make a right turn onto Prince Alfred Street is now significantly reduced.

To address the request, Council’s traffic unit are proposing the removal of the ‘No Right Turn’ signage, allowing motorists to turn right into Prince Alfred Street from Queen Street, Berry (movements west to north).

Consultation was undertaken with the affected properties and the Berry Forum. No submissions were received.
