Reviewing feedback

Project snapshot

What are we proposing?

We are making our roads safer following a review of the historical crash data over a five-year period and investigating concerns from the community about motorist and pedestrian safety along Cabbage Tree Road and on Pittwater Road near the intersection with Cabbage Tree Road, Bayview.

The proposed improvement includes the installation of:

  • A raised threshold with marked cycle ways, warning, and speed advisory signs on Pittwater Road near the intersection with Cabbage Tree Road.
  • A combination of raised thresholds, warning signs, speed advisory signs, reflective pavement markers, barriers on the roadside and a raised median around the bend along Cabbage tree road.

The proposal would improve the speed at which motorists travel, keep motorists within their own lane and improve overall road safety for both motorists and pedestrians.

The installation of a cycle way on either side of the proposed raised threshold on Pittwater Road near Cabbage Tree Road will facilitate safe passage for cyclists on the popular road cycling route.

  • Federal Government Black Spot Program

    This project is funded through the Federal Government's Black Spot Program. The Australian Government's Black Spot program targets specific road locations where crashes have occurred by funding measures to reduce the risk and severity of further crashes occurring. The installation of the proposed measures would improve overall road safety for both motorists and pedestrians and would potentially reduce the likelihood and severity of accidents at this location.
