To the householder & business operator JUNE 2013 Dear resident/business operator, RE: James Ruse Drive, Rosehill to Clyde – Night work starting Tuesday 2 July 2013 Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) is starting work to improve the flow of traffic on James Ruse Drive from Rosehill to Clyde. This project is part of the NSW Government’s $125 million Pinch Point Program which aims to reduce delays, manage congestion and maintain travel times on Sydney’s main roads during week day peak periods. More information on the James Ruse Drive project can be found at www.rms.nsw.gov.au/roadprojects search ‘James Ruse Drive’. The first stage of work will start on Tuesday 2 July, 2013 and will take about three months to complete, weather permitting. Work involves: • extending the right turn lane from James Ruse Drive southbound to Parramatta Road • extending the right turn lane from James Ruse Drive southbound to Prospect Street. Future stages of work will include an upgrade to the James Ruse Drive/Hassall Street/Grand Avenue intersection and restricting right turns into and out of Hope Street. To minimise traffic disruptions, most of this work will be done at night, Sunday to Friday, from 8pm to 5am. The site compound for this project is located at the Arthur Street Granville M4 viaduct underpass. There will be noise associated with this work, however every effort will be made to minimise the impact of noise on nearby businesses and residents. Please allow extra journey time as delays may occur while work is carried out. The section of road adjacent to the work area will be partially closed during night working hours to ensure road worker and road user safety. Detours are not required. During this work motorists are asked to follow the signs, including reduced speed limits, and to follow the direction of traffic controllers. Up to date information regarding this work, including any date changes, will be displayed on electronic message signs in the area. RMS apologises for any inconvenience this work may cause and appreciate the patience of motorists. For more information on this project, please contact me on (02) 9794 4735 or email [email protected]. For information on scheduled road work, visit www.livetraffic.com, download Live Traffic NSW for iPhone® and iPad® from the App StoreSM, download Live Traffic NSW for AndroidTM from Google Play, or call 132 701. Yours faithfully, Simon Buddhivijaya Project Engineer Roads and Maritime Services .

Installation of New and Extended Clearways on Windsor Road And
Installation of new and extended clearways on Windsor Road and Church Street from Baulkham Hills to Parramatta Roads and Maritime Services | January 2018 The NSW Government is funding this project as part of its $121 million Clearways Program, which aims to reduce congestion and delays on Sydney’s roads. Roads and Maritime Services is installing new Clearways on Windsor Road and Church Street, Baulkham weekend and extended weekday clearways on Hills to Parramatta Windsor Road and Church Street from Old Northern Road, Baulkham Hills to Victoria Road, Parramatta in February 2018. We have included a map to show the location of the new clearways. Changes to the clearways will be operational from Monday 26 February 2018. Any vehicles parked in the clearways on or after these dates will risk being fined and towed. The new weekend and extended weekday clearway hours on Windsor Road are shown on the map. The new clearways will replace the existing ‘No Stopping’ and ‘No Parking’ restrictions on Church Street, between James Ruse Drive and Victoria Road, and the existing bus lanes on Church Street will continue to operate with no changes. What is a clearway? A clearway is a section of road where stopping and parking is not allowed during the times shown on the clearway sign. Clearways are put on key arterial roads where traffic is often heavy and congested. They help keep vehicles moving by making all lanes available to motorists. The only exception is the stopping of buses and taxis dropping off or picking up passengers as well as emergency vehicles.

In the first, report which focussed on road traffic volumes, an error was made. The location points of road traffic counting stations were incorrect. Although this error does not affect the general conclusions, details of some of the analysis presented in this version are different to that presented in the original papers listed above. Some data additions have also been made, and so the accompanying commentary has been expanded.

Pop-Up Transport Fact Sheet for James Ruse Drive to Elizabeth Street Footbridge, Parramatta Pop-Up Cycleway
Pop-up transport Fact sheet for James Ruse Drive to Elizabeth Street footbridge, Parramatta pop-up cycleway Pop-up transport overview The NSW Government recognises that more people than ever are walking or bike riding to work, or for leisure and fitness. The NSW Government continues to encourage people to walk and bike ride as part of their everyday commute. We recognise that not only does it help relieve pressure on our roads and public transport system, but walking and bike riding are healthy, active ways of travelling. By continuing to invest in the construction of new cycleways and infrastructure, we help keep people safe while encouraging more individuals to take up these modes of travel. The NSW Government is delivering pop-up transport changes in response to COVID-19. We are working to ensure safe routes for walking, bike riding and exercise, as well as access to workplaces, schools and other services. As a key public health measure, each of the pop-up cycleways has been identified as a strategic priority, which is necessary to facilitate safe bike riding to support travel during the COVID-19 recovery, along routes where there are missing cycleway links, where there is demand for bike riding infrastructure, where there is a recognised route to key employment areas or where there is a recognised hot spot of congestion requiring more transport choices. The pop-up cycleways are being delivered in response to physical distancing requirements and the need to free up capacity on public transport and roads for people who cannot currently ride, due to concerns around safety and missing bike riding links.

Sodium Cyanide
Cowal Gold Project – Addendum to the Transport of Hazardous Materials Study The approved road transport of sodium cyanide (within NSW) for the Cowal Gold Project begins at the Chullora Railfast Centre (Sydney), where it is then transferred by road to the Camellia Freight Terminal (Sydney) and transported by rail to Dubbo. From Dubbo, it then resumes transport by road to the Project. Barrick (Cowal) Limited (Barrick) has identified an alternative transport route that involves road transport of sodium cyanide to the Maritime Container Services (Sydney), where it will then be transferred by rail to Dubbo. An Addendum to the Transport of Hazardous Materials Study has been prepared to reflect the proposed route for the transport of sodium cyanide from the Chullora Railfast Centre to Maritime Container Services (Sydney).

James Ruse Drive, Rosehill to Clyde Proposal to Reduce Congestion and Improve Traffic Flows
James Ruse Drive, Rosehill to Clyde Proposal to reduce congestion and improve traffic flows Community issues report MAY 2013 RMS 13.258 ISBN 978-1-922245-31-1 1. Background This project is fully funded by the NSW Government as part of the $125 million Pinch Point Program. The program aims to reduce delays and manage congestion on Sydney’s main roads, as well as improve road safety for all road users. James Ruse Drive is a road corridor in Sydney where remedial projects are planed to improve traffic flow and reduce peak hour delays. James Ruse Drive is an important urban arterial road that runs for almost seven kilometres from Parramatta Road at Clyde to the Windsor Road interchange at Northmead and provides a major crossing over the Parramatta River. A critical section of James Ruse Drive is between Rosehill and Clyde. This section of road experiences long queues and delays during peak hours. Average travel speeds along James Ruse Drive can be as low as 37km/h during peak times. This can be partly due to cars and trucks trying to access industrial areas, the M4 Motorway, Parramatta CBD and Rosehill Racecourse. Some congestion problems in this area are caused by: • Vehicles queuing to turn right obstructing through lanes. • Vehicles overflowing out of right turn bays and obstructing through lanes. • Vehicles waiting to turn left from shared left/through lanes obstructing through movements There are also limited pedestrian facilities and a safety problem with trucks mounting the kerb when trying to turn corners. 2. The proposal The key features of the proposal are: • Provide a dedicated left turn lane on James Ruse Drive southbound to Grand Avenue.
