Project update - November 2024
We have finished installing traffic calming measures along Cabbage Tree Road and on Pittwater Road near its intersection with Cabbage Tree Road in Bayview.
Works complete
Background
We are improving road safety based on a review of historical crash data and community input regarding motorist and pedestrian safety along Cabbage Tree Road and Pittwater Road, specifically near the intersection with Cabbage Tree Road in Bayview.
In response to concerns expressed by residents during community consultation and to enhance safety while mitigating the likelihood and severity of accidents, we have installed additional traffic calming measures.
The improvements as supported by the Local Traffic Committee are:
- Installation of a raised threshold with marked cycle ways, warning and speed advisory signs on Pittwater Road near the intersection with Cabbage Tree Road.
- Installation of a raised threshold with warning and speed advisory signs on Cabbage Tree Road in front of No.12 and Bayview Golf Club, between Beaumont Crescent and Binnowee Place.
- Installation of a raised threshold with warning and speed advisory signs on Cabbage Tree Road near Annam Road in front of Bayview Golf Club and Bayview Gardens Retirement Living.
- Installation of a safety guard rail (25m) in front of Bayview Golf Club at the intersection of Cabbage Tree Road with Beaumont Crescent.
- Installation of reflective pavement markers (approximately 50m) on centrelines on Cabbage Tree Road between House o.6 Cabbage Tree Road and No.6 Binnowee Place.
- Installation of reflective pavement markers (approximately 35m) on centrelines on Cabbage Tree Road, south of Annam Road in front of Bayview Golf Club and Bayview Gardens Retirement Living.
- Installation of a raised median on Cabbage Tree Road near the intersection with Annam Road.
- Installation of curve warning and advisory speed signs on Cabbage Tree Road between No. 24 Cabbage Tree Road and Bayview Gardens Retirement Living.
- Installation of street lighting in front of No.14A Cabbage Tree Road.
- Installation of profile line marking (Audio Tactile) – Type A and retro reflective pavement markers (RRPMs) for centrelines around the bend near Annam Road South - Approx 190m.
- Installation of a steel rail safety barrier around the tree opposite Bayview Gardens Retirement Living – approximately 20m.
The changes will 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 cycleway 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
Further information about the Black Spot ProgramThis 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.
