                      This section summarises the safety issues identified during the audit of the existing conditions. This section also
                      presents the suggested measures to address the issues raised and the priority for these potential measures. A table
                      of specific issues is presented in Section 3.3.

       3.2            Bus Operations
                      Urban and school bus services travel along Swan Street, Wylah Street and Creek Road (north to south only) as
                      presented in Figure 3.1. The urban route 628 has 24 services and the school bus has six services during an average
                      weekday.

                      Figure 2.1:       Bus Route

                      No stopping pavement markings have been installed to maintain two-way movement for all vehicles through the
                      horizontal curve on Creek Road. Buses were observed during the site visit and were able to safely negotiate Swan
                      Street, Wylah Street and Creek Road. To further demonstrate this. a swept path analysis was undertaken. Figure 3.2
                      presents a bus (12.5 metres long) turning left onto Wylah Street from Swan Street while a car is turning left from
                      Taine Street to Wylah Street and right to Swan Street. Figure 3.3 presents the swept path from a bus travelling south
                     on Creek Road while a car is travelling north on Creek Road. Speed data for buses obtained from 2014 show that the
                      85* percentile speed was 36km/h to the north of the horizontal curve and 46km/h south of Taine Street.
