Median strip for Rabaul Ave?

A 10-metre concrete median strip may be installed in Rabaul Ave at the intersection of Lone Pine Ave, Umina, to stop vehicles cutting the corner.

Gosford Council's Local Traffic Committee has recommended the median strip as well as a Give Way sign to reinforce the give-way rule at the intersection.

The committee was told "a resident is very happy with the newly installed line marking in Lone Pine Ave including the give way line installed at the intersection with Rabaul Ave, however, the customer requested to install a Give Way sign to reinforce the give-way rule at the intersection".

An investigation found that at all other streets in Lone Pine Ave where the side street must give way had a Give Way sign and according to the report there "is anecdotal evidence of vehicles cutting the corner at this location".

The cost of installation of the median strip will be considered in a future Traffic Facilities or Capital Works program.
