OXFORD STREET, GUILDFORD – PROPOSED PARKING RESTRICTIONS AND LINE MARKING
Responsible Division: Environment & Planning
Officer: Engineering Administration Officer
File Number: HC-24-01-3/02
Electorate: Granville
Police Area Command (PAC): Cumberland
Summary
Council has received a request from Granville south Public School to install parking restrictions in Oxford Street, Guildford to improve the traffic flow during School hours.
This report outlines the outcome of the investigation into this matter.
The Traffic Committee recommends that: 1. The installation of ‘No Stopping 8am-9:30am, 2:30-4pm Mon - Fri’ signs on southern side of Oxford Street, Guildford in accordance with the attached plan be approved. 2. The installation of lane line marking on the westbound section of Oxford Street between Woodville Road and Highland Street in accordance with the attached plan be approved. 3. The affected residents be consulted, and the consultation results reported to traffic committee if objections are received. |
Report
Oxford Street is a regional road and passes over the railway line. It carries large amount of traffic and is always busy particularly during the peak hours. Oxford Street starts from Woodville Road which is a state road and after passing over the railway line becomes Hawksview Street. Oxford Street and Woodville Road form an intersection controlled by traffic signals.
Oxford Street between Woodville Road and Highland Street is approximately 12.5m wide with unrestricted parking on the southern side of the road except for the approximate 45m of ‘No Stopping’ zone from Woodville Road. A pedestrian safety fence and ‘No Stopping’ restrictions exist on the northern side of Oxford Street along the side boundary of Granville South Public School.
The driveway of the school car park is located on the northern side of Oxford Street between Woodville Road and Highland Street. School has drop off /pick up area in Highland Street.
The map below shows the location of Oxford Street.
Figure 1 – Locality Plan
The management of Granville South Public School has concerns for teachers who wait on Oxford Street to turn right into the School car park and parents who turn right into Highland Street to drop off /pick up school kids during morning and afternoons. It is alleged that vehicles queuing along Oxford Street prevent access into the car park or Highland Street during school hours.
Council has previously installed ‘Do Not Queue Across Intersection’ signs on Oxford Street at its intersection of Highland Street, however, at school opening and closing times, the queues extend across the intersection ignoring the ‘Blocked intersection rule’.
It is noted that the introduction of parking restrictions on the southern side of Oxford Steet between Woodville Road and Highland Street would improve the traffic flow at this section of Oxford Street as motorists will be able to utilise the left lane at this section of the road while passing waiting cars to turn right into the car park or Highland Street.
A site meeting between the school, Council and the local member was organised to observe traffic behaviour at this location.
It was observed that the westbound traffic from Woodville Road was experiencing difficulties using the kerb side lane of Oxford Street between Woodville Road and Highland Street during School hours due to parked vehicles.
It is proposed to install ‘No Stopping’ restrictions between 8am to 9:30am and 2:30pm to 4pm on weekdays to keep this section of Oxford Street clear of parked vehicles.
In order to improve traffic flow and safety at this section of Oxford Street, it is proposed that ‘No Stopping; 8am-9:30am; Mon – Fri’ signs be installed on the southern side of Oxford Street, between Woodville Road and Highland Street. It is also proposed to provide lane line marking on the westbound section of Oxford Street between Woodville Road and Highland Street.
A separate report is presented to traffic committee proposing to extend the existing pedestrian safety fence on the northern side of the street by 10m west.
Council officers will undertake consultation with affected residents and report back to Traffic Committee if objections are received.

Council has received concerns from a resident that vehicles park regularly at the bus stop outside 232 Excelsior Street, Guildford.
The buses experience difficulty in dropping off / picking up passengers due to vehicles parking illegally at the bus stop.
In addition, it was observed during site inspections that there are ‘No Stopping’ signs on both sides of Excelsior Street at the roundabout, but there is no closing sign on the northern side of Guildford Road west of Excelsior Street. There is a ‘No Stopping’ sign on the northern side of Guildford Road east of Excelsior Street which is at a distance after the twin roundabouts.
Map below shows locality of Excelsior Street, Guildford:
In accordance with the Road Rules 2014, it is illegal to stop a vehicle other than a public bus within 20m on the approach and 10m on the exist side of the bus stop.
Therefore, to prevent illegal parking at the bus stop, strengthen the Road Rules and assist busses to stop safely at the bus stop, it is recommended to install ‘Bus Zone’ signs at the existing ‘Bus Stop’ outside No. 232 Excelsior Street. The bus stop on the eastern side of Excelsior Street also does not have ‘Bus Zone’ signage and it is proposed to install ‘Bus Zone’ signs at this bus stop also.
Furthermore, it is proposed to provide ‘No Stopping’ signs on Guildford Road as per the attached plan.

Vehicles should be parked in a staggered manner to provide 3m clearance for passing vehicles.
The map below shows location of Lena Place and Hillier Street.
The resident alleged that the waste collection trucks have difficulty to service Lena Place and Hillier Street when vehicles are parked on both sides of the street.
Council’s Waste section confirmed that vehicles parked on both sides of these streets will prevent large service vehicles to access the street.
In order to improve the waste collection vehicles accessibility to Lena Place and Hillier Street, three options are proposed for consideration by the committee.
Option 1
The installation of ‘No Stopping’ and ‘No Parking; 6am – 12 Noon; Thursday’ signs on both sides of Lena Place and Hillier Street, Merrylands as per Attachment 1.
Option 2
The installation of ‘No Stopping’ and ‘No Parking; 6am – 12 Noon; Thursday’ signs on the northern side of Lena Place and western side of Hillier Street, Merrylands as per Attachment 2.
Option 3
The installation of ‘No Stopping’ and ‘No Parking; 6am – 12 Noon; Thursday’ signs on the southern side of Lena Place and eastern side of Hillier Street, Merrylands as per Attachment 3.
Due to the number of driveways, option 2 would result a minimum loss of on-street parking spaces for local residents. Each house in both streets has off street parking available.
It is also proposed to install statutory ‘No Stopping’ signs at the intersections.

Figure 1 – Locality Plan
It is alleged by the resident that vehicles constantly park within 10m from the roundabout at the intersection of Girraween Road and Magowar Road. The resident also stated that the distance between the driveway of No. 150 Girraween Road and 107 Magowar Road is approximately 5m and vehicles often park in this area overhanging the driveway. As a result, the sight distance for the resident at his driveway is severely restricted by the parked vehicles.
A review of the Centre for Road Safety accident data indicates that there was one recorded accident at the intersections of Girraween Road and Magowar Road in the five years ending June 2021.
To improve the sight distance for the resident when exiting his driveway and improve safety at the intersection of Girraween Road and Magowar Road, it is proposed to install ‘No Stopping’ signs at the intersection and ‘No Parking’ signs outside No. 107 Magowar Road as per the attached drawing.

Toongabbie Road and Magowar Road form a T – intersection with priority by default to Toongabbie Road. A ‘Stop’ sign and line marking is provided in Magowar Road at the intersections (Figure 1). There are existing ‘No Stopping’ signs located on the south-eastern corner of the intersection. There is also a ‘No Stopping’ sign on the eastern side of Toongabbie Road north of Magowar Road.
Figure 1 – Locality Plan
A review of the Centre for Road Safety accident data indicates that there was one reported accident at the intersections of Toongabbie Road and Magowar Road in the five years ending June 2021.
Due to the industrial area in Toongabbie Road, there is a high demand for on-street parking at this section of Toongabbie Road for both visitors and staff from the business park. As a result, when vehicles especially, heavy vehicles are parked on the eastern side of Toongabbie Road near Magowar Road, sight distance for vehicles exiting from Magowar Road into Toongabbie Road are limited.
An inspection confirmed that if vehicles are parked on the eastern side of Toongabbie Road near Magowar Road, the sight distance is reduced. The sight distance is further reduced when trucks are parked on Toongabbie Road north of Magowar Road.
In order to improve the sight distance for the motorists at the intersection of Toongabbie Road and Magowar Road, it is proposed to extend the existing ‘No Stopping’ sign on the eastern side of Toongabbie Road at Magowar Road further 10m north.

Summary
Council has received a request from a visitor to the shopping centre in Dell Street, Woodpark to provide additional parking in the area due to lack of available parking.
This report outlines the outcome of the investigation into this matter.
The Cumberland Traffic Committee recommends that Council undertake consultation with the businesses for the conversation of ten (10) parking spaces from the existing two 2 hour to 1 hour parking outside Nos. 21-39 Dell Street, Woodpark. |
Report
Dell Street is a local road that runs in a western direction from Fiona Street and turns in a southwestern direction and links with Vivienne Street with a speed limit of 50 km/hr. It has a width of approximately 8.5m with part-time 90-degree angle parking spaces on the southern / eastern side of the street outside the local business centre.
Currently ‘2P 8:30am–6pm; Monday–Friday; 8:30am–12:30pm; Saturday’ parking restrictions apply to the 90-degree angle parking along the shop frontages.
There is a total of 28 parking spaces which includes two (2) disabled spaces servicing the centre.
The map below shows the location of the centre:
A visitor to the centre has complained that parking spaces are not available at times for visitors to the centre and requested more parking spaces made available in the area.
Since the existing parking is ‘2P’ parking, Council undertook consultation with the owners and tenants of the shopping centre with the option to convert the whole or partially (50%, or 40% or 25%) the parking spaces to one-hour parking spaces.
13 consultation letters were distributed to the tenants and owners of the local business centre in February 2022. Four (4) responses (31% of total letters sent) were received.
One respondent wanted the entire parking (except the accessible parking spaces) converted to one hour parking. Three other responses wanted 50% of the parking spaces converted to one hour parking. Out of these three responses, two responses related to one property received from the tenant and owner.
As a result of this survey, Council has received support for partial conversion and Council will undertake further consultation for the conversion of 10 parking spaces from 2P to 1P as per the attached plan.

File Number: HC-24-01-3/02
Electorate: Granville
Police Area Command (PAC): Cumberland
Summary
Council has received a request from Holroyd School located at the corner of Clarence Street and Lowana Avenue, Merrylands for the provision of part-time parking restrictions in Lowana Avenue outside the school.
This report outlines the outcome of the investigation into this matter.
The Traffic Committee recommends that: 1. The installation of ‘1/4P; 8am-930am, 2:30pm-4pm’ School Days’ signs on the northern side of Lowana Avenue, Merrylands as per the attached plan be approved in principle. 2. The installation of ‘No Parking’ signs on the southern side of Lowana Avenue, Merrylands as per the attached plan be approved in principle. 3. Council undertake consultation with affected residents and report back to traffic committee if objections are received. |
Report
Lowana Avenue is a local road that runs in an east – west direction. It has a width of approximately 7m. The posted speed limit is 50km/h and 40km/h during school hours. Parking is permitted on both sides of the road unless signposted.
Currently a length of approximately 25m of 15-minute school-time parking restrictions exist on the western side of Clarence Steet outside the school.
Map below shows locality of Lowana Avenue:
Council has received a request from Holroyd School for the installation of additional 15-minute parking restrictions on the northern side of Lowana Avenue outside the school to facilitate drop off and pick up during school hours. Holroyd School caters for special needs children and vehicle queuing to drop off children is a road safety concern.
An on-site meeting was held with the school and Council officers. It was agreed that the proposed additional pick up and drop off area in Lowana Avenue would improve safety and efficient traffic flow outside the school.
Due to the width of the street, it is not sufficient to provide parking on both sides of the street and maintain traffic flow. When there are no signage in a narrow street like Lowana Avenue, drivers are expected to follow the Road Rules while parking the vehicles. However, once signposted, Council is of the view that outside the signposted times, it is implied that parking is allowed on both sides of the road. As such, it is proposed to install fulltime ‘No Parking’ restrictions on the southern side of Lowana Avenue to provide sufficient room for traffic movements while vehicles are parking on the northern side of the street.
Council will consult with the residents affected by the proposed parking restrictions and report back to Traffic Committee if objections are received.

The Traffic Committee recommends that the installation of a marked pedestrian crossing in Georges Avenue, Lidcombe at Beatrice Street not be supported. |
Report
The section of Georges Avenue under consideration is a local road running in a westerly direction from the state road, Joseph Street up to the local road Nottinghill Road with speed limit of 50km/h. The street is approximately 12.5m wide with unrestricted parking on both sides of the street unless signposted.

Georges Avenue also has Coleman Park along its southern side.
Council has received a request from a resident requesting a marked pedestrian crossing in Georges Avenue, Lidcombe at Beatrice Street to facilitate crossing Georges Avenue from Beatrice Street to Coleman Park.
The map below shows the location of Georges Avenue:
To provide a pedestrian crossing, Council must satisfy the following warrants given in RMS / Transport for NSW Guidelines:
Normal Warrant:
A pedestrian (Zebra) Crossing is warranted where:-
In each of three separate one hour periods in a typical day
(a) the pedestrian flow per hour (P) crossing the road is >= 30 AND
(b) the vehicular flow per hour (V) through the site is >= 500 AND
(c) the product PV is >= 60,000
Reduced Warrant for sites used predominantly by children and by aged or impaired pedestrians.
If the crossing is used predominantly by school children, is not suitable site for a Children’s Crossing and in two counts of one hour duration immediately before and after school hours:-
(a) P ≥ 30 AND
(b) V ≥ 200
a pedestrian (Zebra) Crossing may be installed.
Council officers in consultation with Council’s Parks Section, decided to undertake pedestrian and vehicle counts on a typical week day and a Saturday when the weekend park users would be high.
Council undertook a pedestrian and vehicle count at the intersection of Georges Avenue and Beatrice Street on Thursday 17th and Saturday 19th March 2022.
The weather was clear on these days. The result of the counts is shown in the table
below:
The survey result above indicates that the number of pedestrians crossing Georges Avenue is very low both on a typical week day and Saturday and do not meet the numerical warrants for a marked pedestrian crossing. Therefore a marked pedestrian crossing cannot be supported.

The traffic counts indicated that the recorded 85th percentile speeds on the approaches to the intersection were 42.3km/hr on a 50 km/hr speed limit road and 52.6 km/hr on 60km/hr speed limit road. Particularly the approach speed on Nobbs Street approaching ‘Give way’ control at Clyde Street was 42.3 km/hr which is significantly lower than the speed limit of 50km/hr and within acceptable limits of the School Zone speed limit. Speed values during school zone times (8:00-9:30 & 2:30-4:00) could only be derived from the traffic count data partially.
In regard to the recorded 85th percentile speed on Clyde Street, the speed of 52.6 km/hr is well below the posted speed limit of 60 km/hr on Clyde Street.
The results of the traffic counts, recorded crashes etc. were used in the assessment to determine the need for the installation of traffic calming devices on Clyde Street in accordance with the criteria set out in Council’s Local Area Traffic Management Policy (LATM) Policy.

In regard to the request for a roundabout at the intersection of Clyde Street and Nobbs Street, a roundabout is not warranted due to the low crash history at this intersection in the 5-year period and safe approach speeds on the approaches to the intersection. Furthermore, the intersection is treated with ‘No Stopping’ signs to improve sight distance particularly for vehicles exiting Nobbs Street.

Police Area Command (PAC): Cumberland
Summary
Council received persistent requests from local residents for the installation of traffic calming devices on Harris Street, Guildford due to speeding concerns.
This report outlines the outcome of the investigation into this matter.
The Cumberland Traffic Committee recommends that: 1. The installation of traffic calming devices on Harris Street, Guildford not be supported.
2. Council request Cumberland Police Area Command to monitor the road for speeding. |
Report
Background:
Cumberland Traffic Committee (CTC) at its meeting in April 2021 considered a report (vide Item No. CTC-21-093) regarding road safety concerns on Harris Street, Guildford. Council resolved to undertake consultation with the residents of Harris Street between Guildford Road and Hawksview Street, Guildford to determine support or otherwise for speed humps and report back to Cumberland Traffic Committee.
Consultation was carried out with the residents at this section of Harris Street accordingly in May 2021. Council only received approximately 27% submissions of total letters sent. The consultation results were reported to Cumberland Traffic Committee in August 2021(CTC – 21 -201) with two options to consider. Attachment includes the previous report CTC-21-201.
The Traffic Committee recommended that the line marking treatment in Harris Street between Guildford Road and Hawksview Street, Guildford in accordance with the attached plan be approved. Council approved the recommendation on 06 October 2021.
Council has received further concerns from residents insisting that speed humps are required to reduce speeding in the street. Council has undertaken further consultation to assess support from the residents in Harris Street.
Council distributed 95 letters with an attached survey form to the residents / owners in February 2022. There were 20 responses (21% of total letters sent) received by closing date, 18 (90%) in support and 1 (5%) objected to the proposed speed humps.
Based on the above result, although the majority of the responses received by Council supported the provision of speed humps in Harris Street, it is noted that only 21% of the residents in Harris Street responded to the survey.
The provision of speed humps in Harris Street, Guildford is not supported by majority of the community which is shown by the lack of responses received.
However, since the recorded 85th percentile speed in the street was 57.4 km/hr, it is proposed to request Cumberland Police Area Command to monitor the road for speeding.

The above data is based on the values derived from the traffic count taken in December 2021.
Based on the above data following could be deduced:
· Lansdowne Street is the closest access to the existing industrial area in Railway Terrace between Lansdowne Street and Edgar Buggy Street.
· The truck percentages are very low. According to the data collected in December 2021, there are no large trucks accessing the street while medium size trucks total to 1.3%. It should be noted that one or two large trucks may be accessing the street to service approximately 150 properties.
· The above results validate the existing traffic measures in Lansdowne Street which were installed to prevent large trucks.
· Banning trucks in this street will redirect trucks to the other local roads.
Process for banning trucks in a street
In accordance with the Transport for NSW guidelines (TfNSW), Council does not have delegation to ban movements of any vehicular traffic without preparing and receiving approval from TfNSW of a Traffic Management Plan (TMP).
The TMP deals with various impacts of banning any movement including impact on emergency vehicle access, other streets in the vicinity, justification for the decision to ban, etc. Also, one of the requirements of the TMP is that the proposal to be advertised and public comments summarised and addressed.
Due to the low volume of trucks in the street, it is not warranted to ban truck movements in Lansdowne Street, Merrylands and it is very unlikely to obtain approval from Transport for NSW.

OXFORD STREET, GUILDFORD - PROPOSED EXTENSION OF EXISTING PEDESTRIAN FENCING
Responsible Division: Environment & Planning
Officer: Team Leader Transportation and Traffic
File Number: HC-24-01-3/02
Electorate: Granville
Police Area Command (PAC): Cumberland
Summary
Council has received a request from Granville South Public School to install parking restrictions in Oxford Street, Guildford to improve the traffic flow during School hours and extending the existing pedestrian fence further.
This report outlines the outcome of the investigation into this matter.
The Traffic Committee recommends that the extension of the existing pedestrian safety fence on the northern side of Oxford Street by 10m in a westerly direction be supported. |
Report
Oxford Street is a regional road and passes over the railway line and carries large amount of traffic and is always busy particularly during the peak hours. Oxford Street starts from Woodville Road which is a state road and after passing over the railway line becomes Hawksview Street. Oxford Street and Woodville Road form an intersection controlled by traffic signals.
A pedestrian safety fence and ‘No Stopping’ restrictions exist on the northern side of Oxford Street along the side boundary of Granville South Public School.
The driveway of the school car park is located on the northern side of Oxford Street between Woodville Road and Highland Street. School has drop off /pick up area in Highland Street.
The street view below shows the location of the pedestrian fence on the northern side of Oxford Street.
A site meeting between the school, Council and the local member was organised to observe traffic behaviour at this location.
It was observed that some students exiting from the school on to the footpath on the northern side of Oxford Street tend to go towards west to where the pedestrian fence ends and cross the road instead of crossing safely at the crossing at the signals.
It is proposed to extend the pedestrian fence further west by 10m to discourage the above practice and improve pedestrian safety.
