Hi there,
On 17 August 2010, Yarra Council will undertake works at Canning and
Pigdon streets, North Carlton, to restore the roundabout rules at the
intersection.
As you may be aware, Council changed the intersection in April 2010 to
give priority to cyclists, with the aim of reducing potential conflict
between cyclists and vehicles on this busy commuter route. Council has
closely monitored this intersection and it is apparent that the works
have not reduced the number of accidents and near--misses as had been
hoped.
Restoring the roundabout rules will quickly remove any confusion
experienced by drivers and cyclists, and increase the overall feeling of
safety.
Cyclists and drivers are reminded that roundabout rules now apply at the
intersection. Council will continue to monitor the intersection and
investigate further improvements that could be made.
For more information, please contact myself via the details below or;
Jane Waldock, Manager Strategic Transport, on 9205 5733 or at
Jane.Waldock at yarracity.vic.gov.au
