General Business

The following general business was raised:

The Portico and Portico Parade, Toongabbie

Leading Senior Constable William Graham advised concerns regarding members of the public making U-turns at The Portico and Portico Parade intersection in Toongabbie. Council was requested to repaint the existing line marking in this location.

Rosewall Street and Hopman Street, Greystanes

Mr Elias Elias raised the concerns of a resident in relation to the recently installed ‘no stopping’ signs at the intersection of Rosewall Street and Hopman Street, Greystanes. Resident raised concerns as to why it was installed when the Committee did not support the installation of ‘no stopping’ signs in the cul-de-sac of Hopman Street. It is noted that the treatment at the intersection of Rosewall and Hopman Streets is to reinforce the road rules and is a statutory requirement. It is not mandatory in a cul-de-sac and Council received objections from affected residents to the proposal.

Butu Wargun Drive, Pemulwuy

Mr Elias Elias raised concerns of the two roundabouts connected by a bus way previously closed on Butu Wargun Drive. This was opened to assist with construction taking place nearby. At the request of the Police, it has been requested that this road be closed due to delinquent behaviour. Council has received a request from residents to keep this road open for their utilisation. It is suggested that this remains closed to ensure heavy vehicles do not access the residential zone.

Beresford Road, Greystanes

Mr Daniel Cavallo provided the committee with an update on a matter of urgency raised at the 6 March 2024 Council Meeting regarding the investigation of road safety improvements outside Beresford Road Public School. Council officers met with the Deputy Principal of the school and provided road safety information to share with the school community.

WARWICK ROAD & BURNETT STREET, MERRYLANDS – REQUEST FOR BANNING TURNING MOVEMENTS INTO WARWICK ROAD

Directorate: Environment and Planning

Responsible Officer: Manager Engineering and Building

Electorate: Granville

Police Area Command (PAC): Cumberland

Agenda Part Part 2

Note: Recommendation to Council

Summary

Cumberland City Council received a request from a resident for banning turning movements at the intersection of Burnett Street and Warwick Road, Merrylands.

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

Recommendation

The Traffic Committee recommends:

1. Council undertake community consultation for implementing part time or full-time right turn ban from Warwick Road into Burnett Street and prepare a Traffic Management Plan in consultation with Transport for NSW for submission and approval.

2. Council prepare a signage plan and report back to the Traffic Committee following the approval of the Traffic Management Plan by Transport for NSW.

Report

Council received a request from a resident for banning turning movements at the intersection of Burnett Street and Warwick Road, Merrylands.

Burnett Street is a regional road carrying over 19,000 vehicles/day and links Burnett Street to another regional road Merrylands Road.

Warwick Road is a local road that runs in a northerly direction from Merrylands Road to Burnett Street.

Burnett Street and Warwick Road form a T-intersection with ‘Give Way’ sign and line marking on Warwick Road.

Site observations

Council officers have inspected the site and the following observations are made:

· “Give way” sign and line marking in Warwick Road.

· Existing right turn ban from Burnett Street into Warwick Road.

· The lane line marking with ‘No Stopping” restriction on the eastern side of Burnet Street between the M4 Exit ramp and Warwick Road (approximately 75m).

· “BL2” centre lines marked in Burnett Street in the vicinity of Warwick Road intersection.

· Edge line marking on Burnett Street west of Warwick Road allowing parking along the kerbside. Parking is allowed in Burnett Street for over 300m (except at the side road intersections) between Warwick Road and Hilltop Road.

The map below show the locality of Burnett Street and Warwick Road, Merrylands.

This report assesses the feasibility of the turn bans and the impacts on surrounding streets. Site observations have indicated that:

· Vehicles exiting from the M4 ramp speed through in a westbound direction towards the intersection with Warwick Road.

· Vehicles turning left into Warwick Road travel along kerb side lane.

· Traffic exiting Warwick Road into Burnett Street, particularly the right turns, have difficulty in judging the available gap to complete the manoeuvre.

· Traffic coming out of the M4 Exit ramp may be speeding down Burnett Street. The section of Burnett Street southwest of the ramp has two lanes in each direction.

Crash data

Based on Centre for Road Safety crash data, there were 2 reported crashes at the intersection of Burnett Street and Warwick Road intersection in the last five years ending September 2023. It should be noted that the available crash data does not show minor crashes or near misses.

Date	Location	Degree	Description
15/12/2019	Intersection of Burnett St & Warwick Rd	Injury	Right through from right
13/08/2020	Intersection of Burnett St & Warwick Rd	Injury	Other same direction

Turning movement data

Council undertook intersection turning movement volumes on Wednesday 1 May 2024 and the data is shown below:

18:00 - 19:00	13	84	206	732	750

Turning movement options

Following review by Council officers, the following options are available for consideration singly or in combination:

1. Banning left turn movements from Burnett Street into Warwick Road.

Warwick Road is conveniently located to allow left turn movements into the street as Burnett Street east of the street has two lanes and kerbside parking is banned. Also, banning the left turn into Warwick Road will direct traffic into the other side roads. Due to the kerbside parking availability on Burnett Street west of Warwick Road, this is likely to force turning vehicles along the centre lane and may cause ‘rear end’ crashes or delays to the large volume of traffic in the regional road, Burnett Street.

Based on the above, this option is not considered suitable.

2. Banning right turn movements out of Warwick Road into Burnett Street.

Banning right turns out of Warwick Road may divert some traffic into the other streets; however, it is considered to be a safer option in preventing the right turns into Burnett Street against four lanes of traffic.

The right turn ban may be implemented during the peak periods only or full time.

It is proposed that Council undertake consultation with the residents, and motorists to assess support or otherwise to consider appropriate times to ban the right turn movements from Warwick Road.

Process for banning movements

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 and justification for the decision to ban. In preparing the TMP, the proposal is required to be advertised and public comments summarised and addressed.

The impacts of the proposal may have to be modelled using appropriate software and justification for the request analysed.

COnsultation

Consultation has not been undertaken. Future consultation will be undertaken if recommended by the Traffic Committee.
