We are seeking to improve local streets for everyone in the Narrabeen area. We are proposing to implement safer speed limits and new traffic infrastructure treatments, to make our local residential streets pleasant places to live and visit with calmer and quieter traffic, as well as making it safer for people walking, bike riding and driving in the Narrabeen beach area.
Our Road Network Future Directions under the Move - Northern Beaches Transport Strategy 2038 includes returning residential streets to the local residents through better network management.
We are proposing to install new infrastructure treatments such as raised pedestrian crossings, kerb build outs, traffic calming devices, line marking and signage in Narrabeen, especially along Ocean Street, Sydney Road, and Narrabeen Park Parade so that our streets are designed for safer speeds.
We’re proposing a 40km/h speed limit on all local streets east of Pittwater Road, from Narrabeen Beach to Mona Vale Hospital (see zone map below). A comprehensive 40km/h zone, and implementing traffic calming infrastructure treatments, would help ensure our streets are safer for our community.
We propose to make some streets one-way to improve traffic flow, enhance safety, and improve liveability of the area.
The proposal includes 30 degree angled parking along Waterloo Street and Lagoon Street and reinstating parking on the southern side of Wellington Street to improve parking efficiency in high density locations, improve visibility of drivers, encourage safer speeds and increase safety for pedestrians.
Research shows that when people drive at safer speeds, there is a significant decrease in the likelihood and severity of crashes and injuries. Safer speeds would also make our streets friendlier for people living in and visiting the area, with less noise and fewer emissions. It would improve transport options by making it easier and safer to walk and ride a bike in the local neighbourhood to local destinations.
