Bannockburn Road, Turramurra - Proposed roundabout |
Tell us if you support the proposed roundabout
Background
In recent years Council has received multiple complaints from residents about traffic speeds along Bannockburn Road, between Pentecost Avenue and Bobbin Head Road. This section of Bannockburn Road is relatively long and straight, which can encourage some motorists to drive at excessive speeds.
Traffic counts undertaken in late 2022 have shown that significant numbers of vehicles are travelling at excessive speed along Bannockburn Road.
Proposed changes
Construct a roundabout on Bannockburn Road at Coolabah Avenue. The roundabout would slow traffic, as it would disrupt through traffic along Bannockburn Road. The roundabout would be fully mountable to cater for buses and garbage collection vehicles.
A speed cushion is proposed on the northern approach to slow traffic, as it was not possible to get any deflection angle for southbound traffic. The roundabout would result in the loss of 7-8 on-street parking spaces at the intersection.
