Rumble bars at Haynes Ave

Gosford Council has resolved that rumble bar traffic delineators will replace the existing raised pavement markers at the staggered intersections of Haynes Ave and Ryans Rd, and Lovell Rd and Ryans Rd, Umina Beach.

Local resident Mr B Phillips had asked for the provision of a concrete median island.

A council report stated that that vehicles cut the corners when crossing Ryans Rd to travel to and from the nearby staggered intersections of Haynes Ave and Lovell Rd.

Mr Phillips asked that council place a concrete median island at the intersection of Haynes Ave and Ryans Rd to prevent the practice.

The report stated that "double centerlines and raised pavement markers are currently provided at the staggered intersections of Haynes Ave/Ryans Rd and Lovell Rd/Ryans Rd".

"However, it is considered that larger delineators such as rumble bars should be provided to further encourage lane discipline at these locations."
