SECTION 2

2.1 Traffic Assessment & Impact

Tibbereena St is a 50km main Street. Estimated traffic flows on a Saturday are well under ADT > 1500. The impact of an estimated 300 vehicles to this site will mean just 3 vehicles Maximum, per minute will enter site over 2 hours. This is more than manageable considering the open parking space and attendees directing internally. Also considered is the high visibility on all approaches.

Traffic will have minimal disruptions with:

Contra-Flo in Tribbereena St.

Well sign posted detours.

Controllers at each road closure.

Volunteers managing pedestrians

Roaming Orange ticketed manager on site.

Local Traffic Local traffic will notice slightly heavier volumes for short periods. Traffic Flows will slow while competitors are competing Exiting Traffic All exiting traffic will be directed to turn left only from the main driveway onto Tibbereena after the event is finished. No exiting while the event is under way. 2 hours Pedestrian traffic will not be affected. Approximately 100 people will be competing in this event and 230 spectators. No pedestrians will be unescorted onto the Newell Highway. All pedestrians will be escorted to the dirt road under the bridge over the Narrabri creek. All vehicles including buses will drop off passengers inside the authorised car parks only.

5.2 Heavy Vehicles

The resultant Traffic management will accommodate all heavy vehicles with lane widths of 3.8m - 4.0m achieved.


5.3 Cyclists

All additional provisions have been made for non-competing cyclists. They would be expected to follow all directions by traffic controllers. Cyclists not competing will not be permitted to ride along the side of the roadway. The traffic controllers will tell the cyclist to dismount and walk past the danger area.

5.4 Pedestrians

The proposed traffic control plan will have no impact on existing Pedestrian Traffic conditions except the Newell highway bridge where pedestrians will be escorted or directed under and around for safety.

There are provisions for pedestrians to cross under the Newell Highway, and provision for this pedestrian movement will be made safely with controllers stopping pedestrians and escorting them if required.

Pedestrians will be managed internally on privet property by volunteers and other human resources other than Dialtone staff.

SECTION 6

There will be no ongoing effects to any existing or future development as a result of this event.

The road configuration will be altered and reinstated upon completion of this event.
