6.    INTERSECTION GEOMETRY & SIGNAGE

An assessment of intersection of the existing road network and intersection has been
undertaken to review safety improvements.

The impacts of the proposed development have been assessed and mitigation
measures are provided in Section 6 and 7 of this report. Additionally a Hazard
Reduction Action List (Appendix C) has been provided recommending safety
improvements for the road network.

In regard to the existing formation, detailed survey has not been obtained, however
site investigations indicate that the road width on Top Forestry Road ranges from
5.5m to 7.5m. Is preferred to provide a 7.0m wide minimum road pavement width in
constrained locations such as curves and crests to allow a car to pass a moving truck.
As per Table 2.6F of “Queensland Streets” Guidelines a road width of 7.0m is
required for a car to pass a moving truck at 50km/h.


6.1    Intersection Priority Treatments

The intersection of Top Forestry Road and Old Ceylon Road is sealed and currently
controlled by Give Way signage. A review of the intersection of Cooroy Belli Creek
Road and Old Ceylon Road indicates that additional traffic management devices could
aid in improving safety and delineation at this location. It is recommended that Give
Way signage and associated line marking be upgraded as part of Council’s general
maintenance. As shown below there is no Give Way sign provided.
