Project information
Why is a change being considered?
There are significant safety concerns associated with turning right from Woodlands Avenue during peak periods. Several accidents have occurred at the intersection in recent years.
Traffic counts were recently undertaken at the intersection of Mona Vale Road and Woodlands Avenue. The counts showed that very few vehicles turned right from Woodlands Avenue throughout the day. However, video footage shows that drivers may have to wait for several minutes before being able to turn right during peak times. This in turn, delays motorists wishing to turn left onto Mona Vale Road.
What is being considered?
Introduce ‘No Right Turn 6am-10am, 3pm-7pm Mon-Fri’ restrictions on Woodlands Avenue at Mona Vale Road.
Right turns would be permitted outside of these times, when there is less traffic on Mona Vale Road. Motorists wishing to travel north towards St Ives can do so via Rosedale Road. Motorists wishing to travel west towards Turramurra can do so via Mona Vale Road and the Pacific Highway.
