Decision

The Committee carried the recommendation unanimously.

Background

The City has long advocated for a 40km/h speed limit in our local government area to improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists and we are taking measures to reduce the speed of vehicles for the benefit of pedestrians.

 

 

In February 2018, after extensive negotiation, the Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) agreed ‘in principle’ to install a 40km/h Local Traffic Area (LTA) speed limit in Waterloo. However, the city needs to implement a number of speed reduction treatments in Waterloo to slow down traffic and improve pedestrian access.

As part of these works, the City is proposing to raise the existing pedestrian crossing in Young Street, Waterloo just south of Danks Street. This will ensure cars slow on their approach to the crossing.
