REcommendation (By consent)
That:
1.
The Chief Executive Officer (Director City Services) be advised that
the Shoalhaven Traffic Committee recommends that this item for the proposed
signage and line marking associated with the development (per development
consent condition(s) 27) be deferred to a future meeting to receive an
updated copy of the plans, addressing the following feedback from TfNSW:
a.
A landing area the same width of the path should be included behind
the eastern kerb to improve sight lines for people wanting to cross the road
and meet accessibility requirements.
b.
It is unclear how the proposed eastern edge line will tie in with the
existing edge line north of intersection.
c.
The design appears to introduce a pinch point (south bound) at the
northern taper. There is little warning of this for vehicles or people
cycling on the approach.
d.
The proposed No Parking is inappropriate and encourages vehicles to
stop in lane increasing the risk of a rear end type crashes. The No Stopping
signage should be extended to cover the CHR intersection at a point where the
shoulder width is suitable for street parking. This should be supported by
edge line marking on the approach to the intersection to encourage lane
conformance and further delineate parking areas.
e.
The southbound edge line directs traffic slightly into pedestrian
refuge. Recommend adjusting the line to reduce potential conflict pedestrians
and nuisance strikes with the kerb.
f.
Preference is to have more median island on approach as an additional
protective measure for people waiting in the island. An extension will
improve alignment with Austroads Guidelines.
g.
The no stopping signs south of the intersection are facing the
wrong direction on plans.
2.
The recommendation be approved by the Director City Services under
delegated authority from Shoalhaven City Council - refer MIN21.411
Note: This
Recommendation was approved by the Director City Services 23 July 2025.
