• proximity within the group centre;
• intersection layout (avoiding turn lanes);
• access locations;
• existing lighting infrastructure;
• pedestrian desire lines; and
• location of speed signs and required offset.
The locations of the speed cushions installed on McBryde Crescent between the intersections of Ricardo Street (east) and Comrie Streets were based on the factors listed above and were identified as a feasible installation location given the existing road environment.
Collisions prior to Speed Cushion Installation
A review of collision data between 2011 and 2017 identified 16 collisions at the intersection of McBryde Crescent and Comrie Street and eight collisions at the intersection of McBryde Crescent and Ricardo Street (east).
