New speed limits and pedestrian crossing on trial in Burringbar St
Council will be trialling reduced speed limits on Burringbar Street, Mullumbimby, and installing a new pedestrian crossing at the eastern end of the street, with signage going in and road painting and marking starting Monday (2 August).
The safety initiatives are part of the grant-funded Talking Street program which aims to make the Mullumbimby town centre a better and safer place for people to relax, enjoy and shop.
“We want to give everyone a heads up as they will see new speed signs going up in Burringbar Street and traffic speed will be reduced from 50km per hour to 30km per hour from next week,” Council’s Place Activation Coordinator, Rob van Iersel said.
Date Time
Centennial Circuit traffic trial postponed
The one-way traffic trial on Centennial Circuit in the Byron Bay Arts and Industry Estate has been postponed.
The trial was due to start at the end of February and last for six months.
Council staff are working on the logistics of waste collection during the trial and this is taking longer than anticipated.
Rob van Iersel, Council’s Place Activation Coordinator, said what looks like a simple problem to resolve is actually very tricky.
“The one-way traffic system makes waste collection on one side of the street impossible for trucks we currently use,” Mr van Iersel said.
