Some delivery vehicles cannot enter the site in a forward gear. PO10 of the Driveways and Parking
Code is relevant and provided below for reference.

PO10
Access and egress points do not impact on the safety and operations of the road system.

Performance Outcome 10 seeks that access and egress to the site does not impact on the safety of
the road network.

It is important to note that Hasting Street is a low speed environment and sightlines from vehicles is
excellent given the wide road reserve and the location of the footpath away from the carriageway.

Considering it takes less than 1 minute for a truck to reverse onto the site and, on average 3 of the
deliveries per day need to, the total potential impact on the traffic, on average is 3 minutes per day
(in 1 minute blocks).

While it may cause traffic to stop for a total on average of 3 minutes per day, this is not unsafe, but
safe given the slow speed environment. Furthermore, many of the larger delivery trucks contain a
qualified traffic management person to manage traffic while maneuvering onto site.

It is considered the reversing of delivery vehicles onto site is safe for the following summarised
reasons:
• Approximately half of the daily deliveries are before 8.30am – outside peak traffic times
• Reversing into the site takes less than 1 minute
• Some delivery trucks contain a qualified traffic management person.
• Other businesses utilise the space when on street loading zones are busy
• On average 3 deliveries per day need to reverse onto the site which in total may impede traffic
     for a total of 3 minutes (1 minute blocks) per day
• A wide verge provides excellent sightlines for pedestrians
• Good sightlines each way for vehicles
