Wayville / Unley / Goodwood Local Area Traffic Management (LATM) Study
Consultation has concluded
The Council resolved to undertake a Local Area Traffic Management (LATM) study for the areas of Wayville / Unley / Goodwood / Millswood / Hyde Park bounded by Greenhill Road, Unley Road, Park/Mitchell Streets and Goodwood Road. This was a result of Council developing a Precinct Prioritisation Study as proposed in Council’s 4 year Business Plan (2013 – 16) to ‘develop a program of local area traffic management (LATM) studies’ during the first year of the plan.
Traffic in this area has been of concern to Council and the community over a number of years and some of the issues raised include:
- Non-local traffic ‘rat-running’ through the area
- Street and driveway access issues due to parked vehicles
- On street parking issues due to all day and commuter parking congestion
- Speeding, volume and traffic safety issues.
The aim of the proposed study is to develop a strategic approach to identifying and addressing key issues taking into account previous treatments undertaken and any additional measures that may be required. Most of the known traffic management and parking issues in the area are longstanding, and solutions to address them without impacting on other streets, may not be easy to identify. Furthermore, implementation of any proposed changes will be subject to future funding allocations by Council.
A “Traffic Control Tool Kit” can be viewed here for your information prior to providing feedback, the toolkit outlines some of the options available to Council to address traffic problems.
