Traffic calming for the Esplanade - Port Noarlunga and Christies Beach
LATEST UPDATE
Traffic calming work is underway and expected to be completed in June 2022, weather permitting. Throughout this time detours may be in place during working hours.
Please note that in consideration of the potential impact of the proposed speed hump for mid-way between Short Street and Dale Avenue, and in consultation with local residents, we have decided to remove the speed hump from the concept plan.
Background
The feedback received during the last round of community consultation was broadly supportive of the updated design.
To see what we will be delivering for our community, please see the for construction plans (informed by community feedback).
The final plans include:
- speed humps as a traffic calming device
- Removal all existing bolt-down ‘speed cushions’, and installing new permanent full-width humps to ensure that all vehicles travel at a lower speed
- Support for a formal reduction in the speed limit in this area.
- Additional infrastructure to improve safety and amenity for pedestrians.
- Parking opportunities:
- maintained on the Esplanade between Saltfleet Street and Beach Road
- increased on the Esplanade north of Beach Road
Construction is underway and is due to be completed by June 2022, weather permitting.
