LATE RFI Attachment 5 - Advice from Traffic and Transport Plus

27.   I note that at night time vehicles entering Opal Street from Elm Street would have their headlights lit and would
      be more visible to vehicles reversing from the western space — were these vehicles to not have their headlights
      lit at night I would consider a significant fault to be with the driver of the car with unlit headlights rather than it
      being a characteristic of traffic operation.
28.   Vehicles larger than those I have utilised in my demonstrations would be more visible and unlikely to be
      obscured by the obstructions identified in the RFI.
29.   To ensure that vehicles entering Opal Street from its western end utilise the part of the carriageway closer to
      the centreline (and therefore be further from a vehicle reversing from the western space), I recommend that a
      road line be painted on the northern side of Opal Street, extending from that from kerb of the north east corner
      eastwards towards the proposed access (similar to what is shown Figure 5). Such a painted line will encourage
      eastbound vehicles on Opal Street to remain close the centreline and ensure vehicles reversing from the
      proposed on-street parking spaces adjacent to the subject site are able to view vehicles on Opal Street and
      stop appropriately to give way.
