Council has received a request from a resident requesting for the installation of a ‘Left Turn Only’ sign in Church Street, Lidcombe at the overpass bridge near Lidcombe Railway Station.

 

This report outlines the outcome of the investigation into this matter.

 

 

Recommendation The Traffic Committee recommends the installation of a ‘Left Turn Only’ sign in Church Street, Lidcombe near the overpass bridge in accordance with the attached plan be approved.

 

Church Street runs in an east-west direction between Olympic Drive and Bachell Avenue and is a regional road with a posted speed limit of 50 km/h near the Lidcombe Town centre and 60km/hr after the town centre.

 

Railway Street between Mark Street and East Street is a local road that runs in an east-west direction with a speed limit of 50 km/h.

 

Church Street and Railway Street connects via a bridge over the railway line near Lidcombe Railway Station. Left and right turn restrictions exist on both directions at this section of Church Street and Railway Street as shown in figure 1 below.

 

Currently, pavement arrows are painted on Church Street and Railway Street near the overpass bridge, ‘Left and Right Turn Only’ signs are also installed on both sides of Railway Street and a ‘Right Turn Only’ sign is installed on the western side of Church Street near the bridge. No signage was found on the eastern side of Church Street approaching to the bridge (Figure 2).

 

Due to the high volume of traffic using this bridge connecting sections of Lidcombe north and south of the railway line during peak hours, it is alleged that the ‘Left Turn Only’ pavement arrows on Church Street near the bridge are not visible as they are often covered by the traffic.  It is also alleged that vehicles sometimes attempt to go straight from the eastern approach of Church Street causing near misses.

 

Figure 1 – Locality Plan

 

Figure 2 – Existing signage and line marking

 

A review of the Centre for Road Safety accident database indicates that there was one (1) recorded head on accident in Church Street at the overpass bridge in the last five years ending in March 2021.

To improve the safety at this intersection, it is proposed that a ‘Left Turn Only’ sign be installed on the southern side of Church Street, Lidcombe east of the overpass bridge as shown in attached plan.

Council has received a request from a resident requesting for the extension of the existing ‘No Stopping’ restrictions outside his property.

 

This report outlines the outcome of the investigation into this matter.

 

 

Recommendation The Traffic Committee recommends that the relocation of the existing ‘No Stopping’ sign on the western side of Excelsior Street at the north western corner of its intersection with Beszant Street by approximatively 4m north in accordance with the attached plan be approved.

 

The Cumberland Traffic Committee, at its meeting of 25 February 2021, considered a report relating to the traffic conditions at the intersection of Excelsior Street and Beszant Street, Merrylands. The Committee recommended and Council subsequently resolved that “No Stopping” signs be installed at 10 metres at the intersection as shown in the Figure 1 below.

 

After the installation of the “No Stopping” signs, a representation was received from the resident of No.30 Excelsior Street requesting the relocation of the ‘No Stopping’ sign outside his property.

 

The resident clamied that the distance between the ‘No Stopping’ sign and his driveway is approxiamtely 5m and vehicles often park in this area. As a result, the sight distance for the resident at his drvieway is serverly restricted by the pakred vehicles. The resident also stated that vehicels regularly park partially across his driveway due to the short length between the signage and his driveway.

Figure 1 – Approved No Stopping signs

 

Investigation found that the distance between the ‘No Stopping’ sign and the driveway of No.30 Excelsior Street is not sufficient to park a vehicle without overhanging the adjacent driveway.

 

To improve the safety at this location, it is proposed to extend the existing ‘No Stopping’ sign outside No.30 Excelsior Street approximately 4m north as per the attached plan.

No consultation is required as the request was made by the resident of No.30 Excelsior Street and no other property frontage will be impacted by the relocation of the ‘No Stopping’ sign.

A review of Centre for Road Safety accident data indicates that there were no reported accidents at the intersection of Fowler Road and Warialda Street in the last five years ending in March 2021.

 

A site inspection indicated that vehicles are parking within 10 metres from the intersection. The installation of ‘No Stopping’ signs would strengthen the Road Rules requirements and stop vehicles from parking too close to the intersection. It would also improve sight distance requirements.

 

To provide better delineation for the motorists in Fowler Road at this intersection, it is suggested to remove the existing Separation (S1) line marking in Fowler Road between Warialda Street and Desmond Street and provide ‘BB’ centre line marking at this section of Fowler Road. As the width of this section of Fowler Street is more than 12m, no on-street parking spaces will be affected by the proposed ‘BB’ line marking. 

It is proposed to provide ‘No Stopping’ signs and ‘BB’ centre line marking at the intersection as per the attached plan.

Council has received a request from a local resident to improve road safety at the intersection of Whalans Road and Lawry Street, Greystanes.

This report outlines the outcome of the investigation into this matter.

 

 

Recommendation The Traffic Committee recommends: 1.      The installation of ‘No Stopping’ signs and BB line marking at the intersection of Whalans Road and Lawry Street, Greystanes in accordance with the attached plan be approved. i)                 2.      The affected residents be notified of the outcome generally.

 

Whalans Road is a local road that runs in an east-west direction, it has a width of approximately 10.6m and parking permitted on both sides of the road.

 

Whalans Road has centre line and edge lines marked.

 

Lawry Street is a local road that runs in a north-south direction and has a width of approximately 7.5m at the intersection and parking is permitted on both sides of the road in accordance with Road Rules.

 

Whalans Road and Lawry Street form a T-junction with priority control (by default) to Whalans Road. The intersection is near the reserve and Golf course on Whalans Road.

 

 

 

 

The map below shows the intersection of Whalans Road and Lawry Street.

 

 

Council has received a request from a local resident to improve road safety and install a roundabout at the intersection of Whalans Road and Lawry Street.

 

The resident has alleged that heavy traffic on Whalans Road makes it difficult to exit out of Lawry Street. Also, it is alleged that vehicles park too close to the intersection.

Council’s Officers have investigated the request and found that based on the latest crash data, there were no reported crashes related to intersection crashes at this intersection.

 

Council officers have also investigated the request for a roundabout. Council’s investigation revealed that a roundabout cannot be provided at this intersection in accordance with the current standards and guidelines.

 

Further investigation revealed that there are no ‘No Stopping’ signs at this intersection and if vehicle/s park too close to the intersection then the sight distance would be restricted.

 

The installation of ‘No Stopping’ signs would strengthen the Road Rules requirement and stop vehicles from parking too close to the intersection and would improve safety for all road users. In addition, the installation of ‘BB’ centre line marking on Lawry Street will assist to keep traffic flow on the left-hand side of the travelling lane.

 

The ‘No Stopping’ signs on the Lawry Street approach are installed at 13m. This will assist traffic to pass a parked vehicle without crossing the 10m ‘BB’ centre line in the narrow street. The ‘No stopping’ signs on Whalans Road are installed to match the existing edge line marking.

Council has received a request from a local resident for the relocation of the existing peak period ‘No Stopping, 6:30am – 9:30am and 3:30pm – 6:30pm’ located in front of 11 Pendle Way, Pendle Hill.

This report outlines the outcome of a review into this matter.

 

 

Recommendation The Traffic Committee recommends the proposed relocation of existing ‘No Stopping, 6:30am – 9:30am and 3:30pm – 6:30pm’ sign located in front of 11 Pendle Way, Pendle Hill in accordance with the attached plan be approved.

 

 

Council has received a request from a local resident for the for the relocation of existing peak period ‘No Stopping, 6:30am – 9:30am & 3:30pm – 6:30pm’ located in front of 11 Pendle Way, Pendle Hill.

 

The resident has alleged that vehicles park very close to the driveway (between driveway and ‘No Stopping’ sign outside peak period) and restrict sight distance. This is due to the unrestricted parking area is already parked up to the sign. The sign is on the eastern side of Pendle Way on the approach to the signalised intersection of Great Western Highway and Pendle Way.

 

Council’s Officers have investigated the request and found that the existing peak period ‘No Stopping’ sign is located 2.5m from the driveway. If a vehicle parked within this gap between driveway and ‘No Stopping’ sign, then the driveway will be blocked. There is also full time ‘No Stopping’ sign near the signalised intersection.

The increased peak period ‘No Stopping’ zone on the signalised approach would help the operation of the traffic signals and will not have any adverse impact.        

Therefore, to resolve illegal parking issue, it is proposed to relocate existing part time ‘No Stopping, 6:30am – 9:30am & 3:30pm – 6:30pm’ sign by 9m to the north from the current location (i.e., at the property boundary line between number 11 and 13 Pendle Way, Pendle Hill).

No consultation is required since the request was made by the adjacent property owner.

Figure 1 – Locality Plan

 

A review of the recent accident data indicates that there were six (6) recorded accidents (2 Non-Casualty and 4 Injured accidents) at the intersection of Vaughan Street and Auburn Road in the last five years (2016-2021) ending in March 2021.

 

A review of the sight distance at this intersection found that when vehicles are parked within 10 metres from the intersection, the sight distance for motorists turning from Auburn Road into Vaughan Street is restricted. 

 

There was a recent accident at this intersection which necessitated an investigation into the safety of this intersection.

 

Site inspection indicated that there are no ‘No Stopping’ signs at this intersection, however, the edge line marking defined the extent of parking.

 

It is proposed to provide ‘No Stopping’ signs at this intersection as per the attached plan. The installation of ‘No Stopping’ signs would strengthen the Road Rules requirements and stop vehicles from parking too close to the intersection. It would also improve sight distance requirements. The ‘No Stopping’ signs on Vaughan Street are proposed at 14m to match the existing edge line marking.

In order to improve safety, it is proposed to install a ‘Stop Ahead’ warning sign on both approaches of Auburn Road approaching to the intersection as per the attached plan.

 

The resident also suggested that vehicles in Auburn Road failed to stop and give way to the traffic in Aburn Road and requested No Right Turn restrictions at this intersection.

 

The request of No Right Turn restrictions cannot be supported as it will transfer the issue to the next intersection and will have a significant impact on Council’s local road network and residents.
