(10) No. The data in (8) indicates that Delamere Street is performing better in comparison to other similar roads in the ACT. Roads ACT will continue to monitor traffic conditions on this road and take action when warranted.

(11) Tillyard Drive is a major collector road whose primary function is to distribute traffic from the arterial road network (Ginninderra Drive, Kuringa Drive and Kingsford Smith Drive) into the adjacent suburbs. Heavy vehicles up to 4.5 tonnes are allowed on this road on an unrestricted basis to ensure that all residents have adequate access to a range of services (e.g. waste collection, removalists, etc).

(a) No. The most recent traffic data (2016) shows that about 7% of the traffic flow consists of heavy vehicles. This is considered reasonable in the context of this street.

(b) No. The relatively low volume of heavy vehicles on the road is unlikely to increase traffic noise above acceptable levels.

(c) Tillyard Drive was last inspected in 2014 and the next inspection is scheduled for late 2017. Maintenance requirements resulting from inspection outcomes will be programmed within future resurfacing programs.

(d) No. An analysis of the crash history on the road indicates there is a relatively low incidence of reported crashes with heavy vehicles (2 crashes in the last 5 years).

Requests are evaluated alongside similar requests to identify prioritised options.

Roads ACT also cleans stormwater sumps and implements street sweeping and gross pollutant trap cleaning programs to remove pollutants and debris from the stormwater drains and waterways.

(15) Every suburb in Canberra receives at least two sweeps of streets every year. Over the period between May and August efforts are concentrated on the removal of leaf litter from the deciduous street trees. Increased sweeping frequency in identified suburbs is listed in the street sweeping schedule available on the TCCS website.

(16) Regular Roads ACT maintenance budgets for 2017-18 and the past 10 years are as follows:
