Randwick LGA

Unsafe streets

The slip lane needs to be removed so students aren’t surrounded by high speed cars on all sides as they wait for a green light. Avoca St and Cowper St.
This crossing distance is too long. The large sweeping intersection encourages drivers to go fast just where people want to cross. Oberon St and Perouse Rd.
This wide crossing is metres from Randwick Public School. Blisters and a refuge island would be great. Cowper St and The Avenue.
Near Coogee Public School, this is a large crossing distance. Drivers can easily turn at high speed, meaning they don’t see people crossing. Havelock Ave and Carr St.
The pedestrian with a pram cannot easily mount the refuge island. The island needs to be larger with a cut through. Arden St and Clovelly Rd.
50km/h speed limit and no crossing is hard to cross. The painted blisters are ignored by drivers, and need to be replaced by concrete blisters. Botany St and Blenheim St.
Many students walk up the hill to Clovelly Public School daily, but struggle to safely cross Boundary Rd where drivers travel at 50 km/h or more. Boundary Rd and Winchester Rd.
Drivers enter Boomerang St from Malabar Rd as a rat run to The Causeway. A modal filter here would prevent through traffic in cars, but allow cyclists. Also, note the lack of footpath on the north side.

Safe streets

This raised intersection is outside Randwick Public School. The sharp corners, along with the coloured and raised surface make drivers move cautiously. The blisters shorten the crossing distance. The Avenue and Frances St.
Outside JJ Cahill Memorial High School is a wombat crossing with blisters on both sides. Sutherland St.
A driveway entrance to JJ Cahill Memorial High School is at the right. The narrow street plus parked cars makes drivers travel slower, which is much safer. Horner Ave.
Near Daceyville Public School, the street has a central median. Narrow lanes, close trees and chicanes reduce the speed of drivers. Footpaths are well back from the roadway. Banks Ave.
The narrow lanes are great. Drivers are rare and also travelling slow. Most people are walking. Ocean views and flower boxes are an attractive combination. Cliff Ln.
Cul de sacs are great when there are footpaths continuing on. It becomes quicker to walk a few blocks than drive then park. Lone Pine Pde
