December 20, 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gympie Traffic Police have identified a number of possible speed camera sites across the South Burnett, the SBRC’s Traffic Advisory Committee has been told.<\/p>\n

The primary criterion for a fixed speed camera site is at least five non-intersection-related speed crashes or serious casualty crashes within the previous five years.<\/p>\n

Usually motorists are faced with advisory signs stating “Fixed Speed Camera Ahead” and “Fixed Speed Camera 24 Hours” on approach to a camera site. <\/p>\n

Both signs are usually located within one kilometre of the fixed speed camera.<\/p>\n

The new cameras are expected to be installed in 2013.<\/p>\n

A proposal to reduce the speed limit on Lysdale Road, Greenview from 80km\/h to 60km\/h, raised by Cr Cheryl Dalton, has been rejected after an investigation found that 85 per cent of vehicles which currently use the road travel at 70km\/h.<\/p>\n

Speed limits through Durong South are unlikely to change after an investigation by the Department of Transport and Main Roads found that motorists in the area generally adhere to them. <\/p>\n

However the Department will conduct an audit of existing signage and schedule replacement signage. <\/p>\n

Both actions are in response to a written complaint about road safety in the area.<\/p>\n

Signage along Byee Road (known locally as Lancaster Road and Elbow Lane) will be replaced on a cyclical basis along the whole stretch of road in response to an issue raised by Cr Kathy Duff.<\/p>\n

No action will be taken on the concealed entrances to 1496, 1499 and 1519 Murgon-Gayndah Road after a Traffic Committee inspection found that all three property entrances have a good line of sight.<\/p>\n

The existing 80km\/h speed limit zone through Memerambi will be extended as residential development in the area proceeds. <\/p>\n

Council’s Traffic Advisory Committee was told the reason for this is that the access driveways for many properties will be onto the Bunya Highway.<\/p>\n

The issue is expected to escalate as properties in the development become tenanted. <\/p>\n

A request from Cr Cheryl Dalton to upgrade the Home Creek No 2 invert to improve safety during wet weather will see a reseal carried out in the future. <\/p>\n

Discussions about full reconstruction of the floodway will also be held with the Department of Transport and Main Roads.<\/p>\n

A proposal to lower the speed limit around Wheatlands State School from 80km\/h to 60km\/h will be investigated amid concerns that growing school enrolments and an increasing volume of heavy vehicle traffic pose a safety risk. <\/p>\n

The Department of Transport and Main Roads has advised that it will need to conduct a speed audit to change the speed limit.<\/p>\n

A request by Mr Dudley Starr to install a Give Way sign at the corner of Prince and Thelma Streets, Kingaroy, is being considered by the Traffic Advisory Committee.<\/p>\n

The SBRC has prepared a drawing of the proposed sign but advised it will need to be supported by line marking and raised pavement markers. <\/p>\n

Work would be dependent on how much paving and sealing would be required and since this wasn’t part of the current Budget a temporary continuity line could be installed in the interim until funds become available. <\/p>\n

Kingaroy Police advised that they support the Council’s recommendation and that if the situation changed in future, the matter could be readdressed.<\/p>\n

A proposal to reduce the speed limit in Bell Street, Kumbia, from 60km\/h to 50km\/h has been rejected because of planned upgrades to signage at Kumbia State School.<\/p>\n

However, the 100km\/h sign on the Kingaroy side of Kumbia will be repositioned by the Department of Transport and Main Roads.<\/p>\n

The South Burnett Regional Council is looking at ways to address parking problems and road safety issues at Taabinga State School.<\/p>\n

The Council’s Traffic Advisory Committee has recommended linemarking parking bays on the western side of Kingaroy Street be considered in the SBRC’s 2012-13 budget. <\/p>\n

It has also recommended that the existing pedestrian crossing at the Booth Street intersection and its associated signage be moved.<\/p>\n

The school will be consulted about possible options early in the New Year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
