Advice

The Committee unanimously supported the recommendation.

Background

State Transit has requested the extension of the existing Bus Zone restrictions in Kimberley Grove, Rosebery to facilitate the safe operation of higher frequency and capacity buses stopping at the existing bus stop.

Changes to bus routes were undertaken by State Transit (Transport for NSW) based on service requirements. In accordance with the NSW Road Rules, drivers must not stop within 20 metres before and 10 metres after a bus stop. The City seeks endorsement for and installs bus zone restrictions to clarify this for all road users.

In this case, the bus changes have been in operation since December 2018 and remain without signposted Bus Zone restrictions as the previous proposal was deferred pending the provision of further information.
