Project description

1. Vehicles being driven too fast on Wake Road creating safety issues for pedestrians & people in wheelchairs - road signs going into the community have been destroyed so there is no road safety signage 2. Vehicles short cutting from Wake road to East Road (goes past the hall) and vice versa - create safety problems for pedestrians/ wheelchair people and other vehicles. Short cutting creates a big dust problem which then blows across the community into houses - creates health problems. Also creates safety problems when the dust is so thick and you can not see clearly if there is another vehicle at the intersection. 3. Vehicles short cut at the footpath entrance on Wake road and drive along the footpath to go to houses - creates safety problem for pedestrians etc and it also will destroy the footpath 4. Vehicles drive too fast from intersection past the footpath and clinic to the corner of Wake road and Wudanbaiya Road. There is high activity of pedestrians and children and wheel chair people as people access the clinic, children walk to school and wheelchair people go up and down from the store to the aged care centre. There is no signage around this area at all. 5. Vehicles do not stop at the end of Wake road and Wudanbaiya corner and will turn into Wudanbaiya road or cross over to the track and go to the workshop or aged care

Starting at the turn off from Cox Peninsula Road into Wake Road 1. Erect signage - 40km and high pedestrian activity which advertises adults/children/people with walking sticks. This signage will also cover the access to the store which is approximately 20metres in from the Wake Road turnoff 2, Install bollards with reflective tape inside the intersection of Wake Road and east road which runs across the community past the community hall. Bollards to go to footpath - leave a gap for wheelchair access then to the corner fence of the Belyuen Health Centre. - This is to stop the shortcutting 3. erect signage at the entrance of the footpath advising that the foot path is only for pedestrian and bicycle use 4. install speed humps before corner of wake and wudanbaiya corner to slow vehicles down 5. install speed hump signage, 40km signage and high pedestrian signage on right side of wake road and give way sign and speed hump on the left side
