Croudace Street at Mitchell Avenue and Pride Avenue and Chilcott Street, Lambton

Background

The Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA) has completed improvements to the safety of both of the intersections of Croudace Street with Mitchell Avenue, Pride Avenue and Chilcott Street, Lambton.

Background

In January 2008 the RTA issued a community update outlining proposed safety and traffic improvements to the intersections of Croudace Street with Mitchell Avenue, Pride Avenue and Chilcott Street, Lambton.

Comments were invited on the proposal and in response to the community feedback received, the proposal was revised.

Construction commenced in November 2008 and was completed in January 2009.

The works include the following new features:

• Retention of the existing south bound right turn into Chilcott Street from Croudace Street.
• Retention of the existing No Right Turn from Croudace Street into Pride Avenue.
• Retention of the existing right turn storage bay for the right turn into Howe Street from Croudace Street.
• Retention of the existing parking arrangements on both sides of Croudace Street to the north of Pride Avenue.
• Retention of the existing lane widths and alignment on Croudace Street north of Pride Avenue.
