Background
• Hindmarsh Drive• Increasing traffic volume• Speed of traffic 80 kph• Three lanes in each direction
• Launceston Street / Eggleston Crescent• Increasing number of crashes• Difficult to access / exit suburbs
• Growing number of complaints• ACTION redirecting bus services
• Close Eggleston Crescent / Reopen McDonald Street• Impacts on local residents in MacDonald Street• Delays on Hindmarsh Drive (4-way signals)• Additional works on adjacent road network
(i.e. MacDonald Street / Eggleston Crescent)
• Provide accelerations lanes• Safety concerns when merging at high speed• Insufficient distance to cross three lanes
Options AnalysisEggleston / Launceston
• Roundabouts • Do not work with dominant traffic flows• Not enough space
• Reducing Hindmarsh Drive to two lanes• Large reduction in traffic flow on arterial route• Increased congestion / journey time• Increased congestion = decreased safety
• Traffic Signals (using existing intersection layouts)• Considered feasible
