CTF001-20 CONTINOUS YELLOW EDGE LINEMARKING IN CRONULLA

PENINSULA

Appendix G⇩ and Appendix H⇩

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

At the October 2018 meeting of the Sutherland Traffic and Traffic Safety Committee a report

was tabled proposing to provide yellow No Stopping line marking across areas experiencing

high parking demand and was subsequently endorsed;

The first trial area selected was Bundeena, which was marked in December 2018;

Council receives a large volume of parking related complaints from the Cronulla peninsula area

due to limited parking available at key attractions leading to illegal parking, particularly during

the warmer summer months; and

A further trial was conducted by marking intersections in the Cronulla peninsula area with

continuous yellow edge lines denoting No Stopping for at least 10 m from the adjacent kerb line

in November 2019 to reduce the likelihood of illegal parking and maintain adequate sight

distance at intersections.

REPORT RECOMMENDATION

The information be received.

LOCATION

Selected intersections in the Cronulla peninsula, south of Waratah Street.

(Cronulla electorate).

REFERRAL TO COMMITTEE

Traffic and Transport Services Unit.

ISSUES

Parking demand outweighing supply in warmer months.

Maintaining minimum sight lines at intersections, in accordance with the Road Rules.

PREVIOUS CONSIDERATION BY COMMITTEE

In October 2018, the Sutherland Traffic and Traffic Safety Committee endorsed installing

continuous yellow edge line marking at intersection without traffic lights, across areas

experiencing high parking demand, on a trial basis (refer STR126-18).

In February 2019, the Consultative Traffic Forum received a report on the first trial conducted

during December 2018 in Bundeena (refer CTF001-19).

COMMENTS BY INVESTIGATING OFFICER

The Cronulla peninsula area, south of Waratah Street, was chosen as a second pilot scheme, due to

the large number of visitors in the warmer months of October to April. On-street parking is at a

premium during this period and subsequently, the incidence of parking within 10 metres of

intersections without traffic lights, contrary to Rule 170 of Road Rules 2014, is high. Furthermore,

many local roads in Cronulla are narrow, which increases the likelihood of vehicle conflicts in minor

roads.

Continuous yellow edge lines were previously installed at 35 of the 74 intersections in the Cronulla

peninsula area. Each of the 39 remaining untreated intersections were assessed for the most suitable

parking controls, on a case-by-case basis. Subsequently, the works listed in Table 1 were undertaken

in November 2019 by Council’s contractor.

The continuous yellow edge lines were installed further than the statutory 10 metres for the following

reasons:

lines were extended to the nearest edge of a driveway, where a remaining parking space would

be less than 6 metres long (locations 14, 15, 32, 40, 41, 53, 75, 76, 79, 80, 82, 85, and 89);

lines were extended to the end of sections of road with dividing (BB) lines, where the combined

travel/parking lane would be less than 5.1 metres wide (locations 33, 34, 35, 36, 51, and 52);

and

lines were extended to the position of existing parking control signs (locations 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8,

9, 10, 13, 14, 46, and 49).

Sketches of the yellow linemarking have been provided in the Appendices, Plans A to H.

Post-implementation review

An inspection on a Saturday during the summer school holidays indicated that self-compliance is very

high, with only one vehicle sighted parked contrary to the continuous yellow edge lines.

Residents have submitted nearly 50 customer requests for illegal parking in the Cronulla peninsula

since the start of December. The majority of these relate to driveway obstructing and only two

concerned parking contrary to the recently installed continuous yellow edge linemarking. It is

understood that on-street parking occupancy is not at 100% on peak days (summer public holidays

and weekends) and drivers are likely knowingly parking contrary to the Road Rules, rather than not

being able to park at all. Given that continuous yellow edge lines have been incorporated into NSW

legislation since at least 1999, it is expected that all drivers understand the meaning of the parking

control.

Council has received some positive feedback from residents and one request to reduce the length of a

yellow line in Ewos Parade north of Gardenia Street. After review it was decided to reduce the length

of the line to 12.5 metres.

CTF003-20 EAST PARADE, SUTHERLAND - PEDESTRIAN CROSSING DETAILED

DESIGN

Attachments: Appendix A,⇩ Appendix B,⇩ Appendix C⇩ and Appendix D⇩

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

In July 2019, options were presented to Sutherland Traffic & Traffic Safety Committee to

improve pedestrian access between the western side of East Parade and Sutherland Train

Station.

Traffic Committee recommended the option of constructing a raised pedestrian crossing in East

Parade, to the north of the ramp to the Sutherland railway overbridge, and an at-grade

pedestrian crossing on the north-western ramp to the Sutherland railway station overbridge.

Council endorsed the recommendation.

The proposed detailed design of the pedestrian crossings is attached to the report.

The proposed works are scheduled to be constructed before the end of the 2019/20 financial

year.

LOCATION

REFERRAL TO COMMITTEE

Representations from Councillor Diedree Steinwall.

ISSUES

Increase in pedestrian volumes crossing East Parade.

No formal pedestrian crossing facilities.

Pedestrian safety.

PREVIOUS CONSIDERATION BY COMMITTEE

STR030-19 – East Parade, Sutherland – Proposed Pedestrian Crossings.

BACKGROUND

There are no formal pedestrian crossings facilities provided at the intersection East Parade and the

north western ramp to Sutherland railway station. Pedestrian volumes at this location have increased

substantially following the completion of the new commuter car park in Robertson Street. Following a

pedestrian safety assessment, including collection of peak hour traffic and pedestrian survey data, the

traffic Committee endorsed and Council approved:

a raised pedestrian crossing and road narrowing in East Parade immediately north of the on

ramp intersection (refer to Appendix A, B and D).

an at grade (paint only) pedestrian crossing and road narrowing within the north western ramp

approximately 40m south of the East Parade/ on ramp intersection (refer to Appendix A, C & D).

a new footpath on the eastern side of the on ramp connecting the proposed pedestrian crossing

facilities (refer to Appendix D); and

pedestrian fencing (refer to Appendix A, B, C & D) to guide pedestrians to the crossing points

and prevent undesirable pedestrian movements at the intersection.

A detailed design has been undertaken, as shown in Appendix D, which is referred to the Consultative

Traffic Forum for comment.

FINANCIAL / RESOURCE IMPLICATIONS

The estimated cost of the proposed measures is $352,000. The works will be funded by TfNSW’s

2019/20 Minor Works Program and Council’s 2019/20 Traffic and Transport Works Program, under

agreement between RMS and Council.
