Blood alcohol levels of fatally injured drivers, motorcyclists and pedestrians : January to June 1980 : TARU 2/81

Results of post-mortem blood alcohol data for drivers, motorcycle riders and pedestrians who died as a result of crashes which occurred in the first six months of 1980 in New South Wales were examined, and compared with corresponding Victorian data. Between 30% and 50% of fatally injured drivers and riders in N.S.W. were found to have a blood alcohol level of more than 0.08 g/100 ml (the legal limit at the time of data-collection). The blood alcohol levels of drivers and riders were similar in NSW and Victoria for the first six months of 1980. The blood alcohol levels of pedestrians, however, were much lower in Victoria than in NSW.

Planning for school infrastructure

The Department of Education proposes to fundamentally reform school infrastructure planning and delivery to meet the future demand for student places, and to overcome chronic under-investment for much of the last decade. To do this, it will need to spend much more than it has been receiving to date. These are the main findings of a report released today by Acting NSW Auditor-General, Ian Goodwin.

A traffic signal system for high-speed roads : TARU 3/71

This report describes the development of a traffic signal system for use on high speed roads. The aim of the system is to reduce the risk of driver error by minimising the chance of the traffic signals changing from green to amber while a vehicle is within the dilemma zone associated with its approach speed. The equipment developed consists of a series of conventional vehicle loop-detectors installed in the roadway on the high speed approach to the signals. These detectors are coupled to a standard traffic signal controller through a timing and detector output control device which renders the detectors sensitive to vehicles in certain speed ranges. The relationship between the distance of each detector from the stop line and the range of its speed sensitivity are derived from Crawford’s experimental results on driver judgement and error during the amber period at the traffic lights.

Trip generation surveys high density residential (car based) : analysis report

Roads and Maritime Services, NSW commissioned Bitzios Consulting to undertake a trip generation and parking demand survey and analysis of Car-Based High Density Residential buildings. The Road’s and Maritime Services Guide to Traffic Generating Developments – 2002 (hereafter referred to as the Guide), contains traffic generation and parking demand information based on surveys completed in 1993. This has recently been updated in a 2013 Technical Direction of the Guide based on a 2012 study. Roads and Maritime Services recognised that previous studies have looked at sites generally close to high frequency - high capacity public transport. In recent years there has been a trend towards higher density residential developments along corridors not necessarily well serviced by public transport. Roads and Maritime Services identified that new data is required focusing on residential developments that are considered “Car-Based” due to potential differences in the trip generation and parking generation compared to developments in public transport orientated centres.

Townson Road upgrade between Richmond Road & Jersey Road - stage 1 : review of environmental factors : main report and appendices A to B

Transport for NSW proposes to widen and upgrade about 1.6 kilometres of Townson Road, between Richmond Road and Durham Road/Jersey Road. Key features of the proposal include:
• Widening and upgrading about 1.6 kilometres of Townson Road, between Richmond Road and Durham Road/Jersey Road, to provide: – Two 3.5 metre wide traffic lanes in each direction  – A new section of Townson Road about 250 metres long, to the east of the existing alignment, between Meadow Road and Durham Road/Jersey Road to maintain eastwest connectivity
• Providing a wide central median along the length of the upgrade narrowing at intersections to accommodate for turning lanes
• Constructing two bridges, each about 36 metres long, to reduce flooding afflux with one bridge over Bells Creek and another bridge about 50 metres east of Bells Creek
• Providing a new southbound slip lane at Richmond Road intersection from Townson Road
• Providing two new signalised intersections allowing all turning movements to and from Townson Road/Victory Road/’A planned new road’, and formalised pedestrian crossings at each leg of the signalised intersection
• Constructing stubs for Victory Road north and the planned new road to the north and south of the Townson Road intersection, with a 3.5 metre wide traffic lane in each direction 
• Providing a 3.0 metre wide shared path for pedestrians and cyclists on the southern side of Townson Road along the length of the proposal and a pedestrian crossing across the new southbound slip lane from Townson Road to Richmond Road
• Providing a 1.2 metre wide footpath on the northern side of Townson Road along the length of the proposal.
The proposal is to be delivered in phases – interim and ultimate. The delivery of the proposal would initially provide an interim phase with a single carriageway, one lane in each direction, on the southern side of the road corridor incorporating earthworks to allow future full road construction. Construction of the interim phase is anticipated to start in early 2022, opening to traffic in 2023. It is anticipated that the interim phase would be operational for a period of up to five years before the ultimate four lane dual carriageway is completed.

F4 freeway : Mays Hill - Prospect : working paper 3 : Prospect arterial

This working paper reviews the various points, questions and additional work raised with regard to the earlier working papers on the F4 (Mays Hill - Prospect). Particular attention is paid to the traffic effects of the Prospect Arterial and desirability of an F4 interchange on Greystanes Road. The modelling work for future traffic prediction has been carried out by the Strategic Planning section of the Department of Main Roads following discussions with the Consultants as to the various assumptions involved. It is considered that the forecast flows are the best estimate of future traffic volumes that can currently be made, however it should be recognised that forecasting does entail a degree of uncertainty. This paper should be read in that light.

Raymond Terrace to Karuah duplication : review of environmental factors : main report : volume 1

The Pacific Highway is one of the most important highways in NSW. It connects Sydney to Brisbane and provides interstate and regional connections to the Central, Mid North and North Coasts of NSW. The Pacific Highway has a poor safety record; many sections are single carriageway. To improve conditions the Roads and Traffic Authority of NSW proposes to upgrade the section of the Pacific Highway between Rangers Road in the south and Reedy Creek in the north.  This section of the Pacific Highway is located about 30 to 50 kilometres north of Newcastle, NSW. This volume examines: planning strategies that have led to the decision to propose the Raymond Terrace to Karuah (RT-K) Duplication; a concept design; a description of the RT-K duplication and its locality; environmental interactions that could occur as a result of the RT-K duplication and safeguards to protect the environment. The proposed activity is referred to as the Raymond terrace to Karuah duplication (RT-K Duplication). It would provide a safer and less-congested travelling environment by separating traffic flows and providing two travelling lanes for each carriageway.

Alcohol, fatigue and speeding crashes 1996 - 1998 : focus report

This report provides a profile of alcohol, fatigue and speed related crashes within the southern region. This regional profile covers the three year period 1996 to 1998. Both inter and intra regional comparisons are provided along with details of the crash characteristics. Within the southern region 35% of all crashes involved at least one of the factors of alcohol, fatigue of speeding. These factors have long been recognised as high risk behaviours associated with crashes and therefore are continually targeted within the behaviour strategies. This report aims at providing a profile of crahses involving these factors within the southern region allowing a deeper understanding of the problems which in turn will assist in the development of strategies within the road safety program in the region.

Proposed upgrading of Old Windsor Road : Seven Hills Road to Windsor Road : review of environmental factors

The initial concept was to upgrade Old Windsor Road to four lanes along its existing alignment. However, following a preliminary environmental assessment undertaken in 1992, the road and surrounding elements were concluded to be items of National heritage significance which required conservation. The major objectives of this study were therefore to develop a favoured concept and assess the environmental implications for the road alignment so that it: satisfies the required long term transport function of the corridor with respect to capacity, safety and public transport needs; is sympathetic to the heritage significance of Old Windsor Road and complies with the planning strategies for the area.
