Is there a continuing investment in cycling facilities as new road works are undertaken? Friday 21 June The Department of Transport and Main Roads has a Cycling Infrastructure Policy. The policy requires inclusion of cycling facility and network as part of planning, design and construction of all transport projects (road, rail and bus). The full policy will be provided as part of the Department’s submission. Investment in cycling facilities as new road works are undertaken on State-controlled roads Currently, departmental systems do not separate expenditure on cycling facilities from overall project expenditure on road works on State-controlled roads. Similarly, departmental systems do not record the length or exact nature of cycling facilities delivered during road works on State- controlled roads. Information on the nature of cycling facilities delivered along with new road works can be obtained by direct discussion with individual project managers however. For example: o Works on Southport-Burleigh Road between Nerang-Broadbeach Road and Burleigh Connection Road will include on-road cycle lanes. o Warrego Highway/Brisbane Valley Highway intersection works will include wide shoulders and a shared path over the Warrego Highway. As well as cycling facilities that are delivered along with new road works, the Department delivers additional investment in cycling facilities as follows: State Special Initiatives – Cycleways This program accelerates the development of the regional cycle network in south east Queensland by providing funding to complete missing links on the Principal Cycle Network on State-controlled transport corridors. Over $15 million was committed in 2012-13 towards facilities which included; Continuing works on Veloway 1, a 17km cycling facility from the CBD to Eight Mile Plains, with Stage C providing a missing link in from Birdwood Road to Lewisham Street. Additional on-road facilities on David Low Way in the Sunshine Coast. Works on Anzac Avenue (Moreton Bay Regional Council). $16.745 million has been committed under the State Special Initiatives – Cycleways program for 2013-14. Cycle Network Local Government Grants Program This program supports councils in south east Queensland to complete regionally significant cycling facilities, identified as the Principal Cycle Network. Funding is matched by councils (50/50) and grants are awarded to projects that contribute to transport network outcomes that improve access to major attractors including activity centres, employment nodes, schools, universities and public transport facilities. Cycle Network Local Government grants awarded over $14 million in 2012-13 to support 27 jointly funded cycling infrastructure projects with local governments in south east Queensland with projects that included; Bicentennial Bikeway Stage 4 near the CBD Brassall Bikeway Stage 3 in Ipswich Noosa Heads Cycleway Stage 2 in the Sunshine Coast $10.729 million has been committed under the Cycle Network Local Government Grants program for 2013-14. Applications for funding from Councils are currently being assessed and will be announced in coming weeks. Active Towns Pilot Program From 2012-13 to 2014-15, the Active Towns Pilot Program is a signature project for delivery under the Queensland Cycling Strategy. The Active Towns Pilot Program will pilot the UK cycling ‘demonstration towns’ concept to explore innovative and creative ways to deliver increased cycling and walking. Three Queensland locations have been chosen for the Pilot: Cairns, Mackay and the Gold Coast. $4 million was committed to the program in 2012-13 and $3 million has been committed for 2013-14.

  • Analysis of Road Crashes at Roundabouts in Toowoomba
    University of Southern Queensland Faculty of Health, Engineering and Sciences Analysis of Road Crashes at Roundabouts in Toowoomba A dissertation submitted by Megan Richardson in fulfilment of the requirements of ENG4111 and 4112 Research Project towards the degree of Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Civil) Submitted October, 2016 ABSTRACT Every year, road crashes cost Australia an estimated $27 billion in additional to the devastating social impacts these crashes have on the community. Toowoomba’s road network has a significant number of roundabouts with approximately one roundabout for every two signalised intersections; with more roundabouts being constructed every year. The aim of this investigation is to evaluate the safety performance at roundabouts in Toowoomba to re-examine the contribution that geometric features of the poorer performing roundabouts have in severity and frequency of road crashes. A combination of two road safety methodologies were utilised to rank the top 10 worst performing roundabouts in Toowoomba. By combining the two methods more variables were able to be considered in the ranking process; the Critical Crash Rate method considered crashes with respect to traffic volume and the Relative Severity Index method used costs per crash type considering the costs of a crash based on a potential severity. The methods were subsequently combined using scores and weighting factors. The crash investigations, road safety audits and geometric property investigations conducted at the subject roundabouts identified that the most significant crash contributory factors were high entry speeds and reduced sight distance upon approach to the roundabout. The observed high entry speeds were most commonly associated with entry path radii that were too large as well as inadequate deflection through the roundabout.

Go slow, get organised early with your gears upon your approach to the entry. The examiner will give you plenty of notice. Remember there are learner drivers (in cars) coming in and out of the drive way as well as the general public. ● Watch your left margin around the industrial estate. You should leave a safety buffer of 1.2m between you and parked vehicles. The key is to regularly check your mirrors and use your peripheral vision to mark your road position out of the corner of your eye. ● Be wary of school zones: e.g. Caboolture State High School and Morayfield State High School ● Be wary of all of the stop signs near the railway crossing near Morayfield High School. ● If you have to stop at the railway crossing near Morayfield State High School, make sure that you do not go across until the lights stop flashing red and the boom gates go up. ● There is a school zone and a one way street called Lee Street, which runs past Caboolture High. At the end of it is a roundabout they sometimes turn right at the roundabout, watch your back wheel (i.e. maintain road position, check mirrors). Some drivers have hit the kerb here.

  • Avenues of Honour, Memorial and Other Avenues, Lone Pines – Around Australia and in New Zealand Background
    Avenues of Honour, Memorial and other avenues, Lone Pines – around Australia and in New Zealand Background: Avenues of Honour or Honour Avenues (commemorating WW1) AGHS member Sarah Wood (who has toured a photographic exhibition of Victoria’s avenues) notes 60,000 Australian servicemen and women did not return from World War 1. This was from a population then of just 3 million, leaving lasting scars. Avenues of Honour were a living way of remembering and honouring these lives and sacrifices. Australia vigorously embraced them. As just one tangent, in 1916 the Anzac troops’ landing at Gallipoli, Turkey led the Victorian Department of Education to encourage all Victorian schools to use Arbor Day that year (and subsequent years, including after 1918) to plant native tree species such as gums and wattles to celebrate the Anzac landing. A number of these early plantings, some of which were avenues, others groves, groups, scattered and single trees, remain. More research is needed to confirm which survive. Treenet, a not-for-profit organisation based in Adelaide launched ‘The Avenues of Honour 1915-2015 Project’ in 9/2004 as part of the 5th National Street Tree Symposium. It is a national initiative aiming to honour with a tree the memory of every individual who has made the supreme sacrifice on behalf of all Australians, by documenting, preserving and reinstating the original and establishing new Avenues of Honour by the 2015 Gallipoli Centenary. Treenet combines under the name ‘Avenues of Honour’ Boer War memorial, WW1 and WW2 memorial avenues. This is a different to the approach AGHS has taken, distinguishing: a) Avenue of Honour = WW1; b) Memorial Avenue =WW2 (and sometimes subsequent wars); c) Other memorial avenue (other wars, e.g.

  • BRUCE HIGHWAY(Pine River to Anzac Avenue)
    BRUCE HIGHWAY(Pine River to Anzac Avenue) PROJECT NAME/LOCATION PROJECT DETAILS Bruce Highway (Pine River to Anzac Overview Avenue) The Bruce Highway is one of Australia’s major highways and links Brisbane and Cairns. The $3.5 million Pine River to Anzac Avenue upgrade is being undertaken to improve road user safety at the most southern section of the OWNER/PRINCIPAL Bruce Highway, around North Lakes, north of Brisbane. The road is heavily Queensland Department of Transport & trafficked, carrying 1,500 vehicles per hour. All roadworks had to be done Main Roads within a six-hour nightly window to minimise traffic disruption. Alex Fraser contributions MAIN CONTRACTORS Alex Fraser supplied 5,500 tonnes of Recycled Concrete Pavement Material ALLROADS (RM001) for the project through civil constructors ALLROADS. In order to supply major metropolitan infrastructure projects with recycled MATERIALS SUPPLIED content, well located, large scale recycling facilities are essential. ALLROADS Roadbase Material RM001, RM003, decision to award the projects to Alex Fraser was based on its ability to RM005 supply a night works program, as well as the close proximity of Alex Fraser’s Nudgee site to the project, which substantially reduced truck travel distances and road congestion. SPECIFICATIONS Queensland Main Roads Spec MRTS35 The Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads specification MRTS35 supports the use of high quality recycled products on major projects. Alex Fraser materials have previously been used to build numerous other ESTIMATED TOTAL TONNAGES TO projects around Brisbane including the CLEM7 Tunnel, Mains and Kessels Road Upgrade, Port of Brisbane, Brisbane Airport – Avis Depot and the BE SUPPLIED Moreton Bay Rail Link.
