Advice

The Committee unanimously supported the recommendation.

Background

In July 2022, as part of the King Street Cycleway project, the City completed works to make King Street one-way, east of Elizabeth Street and a short section of Phillip Street. The works were installed to create a safer crossing of King Street at Phillip Street for people walking and riding.

With the one-way arrangement, the Supreme Court of NSW has raised concerns about increasing number of vehicles using its driveway to perform U-turning movements. The U-turn vehicles impact on the accessibility and safety of drivers entering and exiting the Supreme Court's car park.
