The Yule Street route runs from Rongotai Road to the Leonie Gill Pathway. There are two options for this section of road.
The impacts on intersections, pedestrian crossings and driveways will be detailed in the next stage of design and available for feedback in November.
Option A - Bike lanes on both sides of the road, parking both sides.
Why Option A?
The bike lanes will increase driver awareness of people on bikes. Traffic speeds will reduce due to narrower traffic lanes and this will improve safety. This option has a higher cost than Option B, however the likely uptake by people on bikes is similar.
Impacts
-
No changes to parking
-
Traffic lanes reduce width from 4.7m to 2.9m
-
No change to footpath width
-
Likely uptake by people on bikes: Moderate to high increase
Option B - Sharrow markings in traffic lane both sides of the road.
Why Option B?
The sharrow markings will increase driver awareness of people on bikes. Traffic speeds will reduce due to narrower traffic lanes and this will improve safety. This option has a lower cost than Option A, however the likely uptake by people on bikes is similar.
Impacts
-
No changes to parking
-
No change to lane widths
-
No change to footpath width
- Traffic speeds may need to be reduced
-
Likely uptake by people on bikes: Moderate increase
