Ben Boyd Road - Proposed Speed Humps

UPDATE SEPTEMBER  2021

The community consultation outcomes were reported to the Traffic Committee meeting on 19 March 2021. The recommendations of the Traffic Committee were considered at the Council meeting on 26 April 2021 where Council resolved (view Council report):

  1. THAT the matter of speed humps on Ben Boyd Road be deferred to the next Traffic Committee meeting in June 2021.
  2. THAT the submitters in this matter be notified

The matter was resubmitted to the Traffic Committee at its meeting on Friday 11 June 2021 where the Traffic Committee resolved to recommend 

  1. THAT Council upgrade as a matter of priority the pedestrian refuge on the corner of Ben Boyd Road and Phillips Street. 
  2. THAT Council’s Manager Traffic and Transport Operations action the intent of this Committee with wanting to progress a raised traffic calming device opposite Vintage Cellars, with the most efficient and effective way to resolve to erect a raised crossing, where the current pedestrian refuge is, making it a traffic calming device with no loss of parking.

Council was successful in gaining funding under the 2020/21 Australian Government Black Spot Program to install speed humps along Ben Boyd Road between Yeo Street and Kurraba Road to improve traffic and pedestrian safety. 

The proposed speed humps will extend to the full width of the road to prevent vehicles attempting to avoid the device by travelling through the gaps or onto the wrong side of the road. A concept plan is available in the document library.

If there is general community support for this proposal, it is intended that works will be completed before 30 June 2021. 

Note: all comments received will be considered, however it is not intended to reply to individual respondents.
