Project information
Why is a change being considered?
Council has received several complaints from residents about traffic speeds on Bannockburn Road to the north of Pentecost Street. This section of Bannockburn Road is relatively long and straight, which can encourage some motorists to drive at excessive speeds. Traffic counts undertaken in late 2022 have shown that significant numbers of vehicles are travelling at excessive speed along Bannockburn Road.
Council has recently consulted with directly affected residents regarding a proposed roundabout at the intersection with Coolabah Avenue, in order to slow traffic. However, the roundabout will not be proceeding due to strong resident objections.
What is being considered?
Speed cushions are proposed at the following 3 locations on Bannockburn Road;
- South of Princes Street, outside #89
- North of Coolabah Ave, outside #97
- North of Canberra Ave, outside #109
The speed cushions will not result in the loss of any on-street parking spaces, as parking is permitted adjacent to them. The speed cushions will be effective in slowing traffic in the vicinity of the local shopping centre and childcare centre, which is an area of high vehicle and pedestrian activity.
