Executive summaryThis report provides a summary of Roads and Maritime Services’ consultation with the community and keystakeholders on a proposal to improve the flow of traffic and reduce delays on Stuart Street at theintersection of the Princes Highway and King Georges Road.The NSW Government is funding this project to ease congestion and improve travel time on Sydney’s keycorridors.The proposal aimed to: increase efficiency of Princes Highway and King Georges Road intersectionreduce travel times and queueing vehicles through the intersection, including queueing vehiclesturning right from Princes Highway into King Georges Road and Stuart Streetimprove safety for motorists turning into Stuart Street and King Georges Road from PrincesHighway.Roads and Maritime invited feedback on the proposal in October 2017. We received feedback from 142people, with seven people supporting the proposal, 119 people who opposed the proposal and 16 who didnot state a preference.As part of the feedback, there were 63 comments outside the scope of the proposal.Key matters raised included: increased traffic congestion in the area increased risk to safety of motorists, pedestrians and school children impacts to local business, parking and vehicle access on Homebush Road speeding road surface traffic light phasing.The decisionAfter considering all responses we have decided to cancel this project and to prioritise the adjacent PrincesHighway and Torrens Street project in Blakehurst which involves the widening of Princes Highway fromTodd Park (at the King Georges Road intersection) up to Torrens Street to remove the existing tidal flowarrangement.This decision was based on feedback from the Council and the community, including the current needs ofthe community based on existing infrastructure. An assessment was made regarding the aim of the projectand it was determined that the project will be cancelled. Roads and Maritime will continue to monitor thisintersection as the adjacent project is completed.We will continue to keep the community informed.

1. Introduction1.1. BackgroundThe intersection of Princes Highway, King Georges Road and Stuart Street is the intersection of two majorsouthern arterial roads. King Georges Road has four lanes east-bound including one left turn slip lane.Princes Highway traverses north and east with the northern approach consisting of three through laneseastbound and an auxiliary right turn lane, the eastern approach features three lanes north-bound andthree lanes west-bound. Stuart Street is designated a local council road under the jurisdiction of with twolanes northbound and one lane southbound.A network of heavily congested residential streets and major collector roads surround this intersection.During morning peak hours (between 6.30am and 8.30am) the majority of road users travel northbound onPrinces Highway and King Georges Road towards the Sydney central business district.This is reversed during the afternoon peak (between 5pm and 7.30pm) when users are predominatelyreturning southbound. During the afternoon school peak hours (between 3pm and 4.30pm) the major roadssurrounding the intersection remain at a relatively constant volume, however the traffic volume on localstreets surrounding Blakehurst High school, Mater Dei Catholic School and Baldface Public Schoolincreases. Stuart Street provides easy access to the residential areas in Blakehurst, Bald Face andConnells Point, as a result alternative routes require significant detour.Roads and Maritime Network Operations identified the following issues with the Princes Highway, KingGeorges Road and Stuart Street intersection including: heavy vehicle flow for the through and right turn movements from Princes Highway easternapproach in both morning and afternoon peak periods heavy vehicle flow on the left turn from Princes Highway northern approach in both morning andafternoon peak periods queuing and delay of the left turn from Princes Highway northern approach due to queuing out ofthe right turn auxiliary lane including the right and through movement from Princes Highway northapproach conflicting with the vehicle flow from Stuart Street extensive delays on King Georges Road west approach in both the morning and afternoon peakperiods with queue lengths in excess of 250 metres delays in exiting the local road network via Stuart Street due to short cycle time and pedestrianprotection at the crossing extensive delays on the Princes Highway eastern approach with city-bound queues extendingbeyond Torrens Street during the morning peak period.5 Princes Highway, King Georges Road and Stuart Street, Blakehurst – Intersection improvements
1.2. The proposalRoads and Maritime issued a brief to Ventia Boral Amey Joint Venture as part of the Sydney MaintenanceContract south zone to coordinate community consultation on a new proposal for improvements to increasethe flow of traffic and reduce delays at the intersection of the Princes Highway, Princes Highway and StuartStreet.The new proposal included: installing a concrete median eastbound on Stuart Street to improve the flow of traffic travellingthrough the intersection of the Princes Highway and King Georges Road. re-direction of vehicles exiting Stuart Street wishing to access King Georges Road and the PrincesHighway via alternative routes.We have included a map of the original proposal to show the location of the intersection improvements.Figure 1 – proposed improvements on Princes Highway, King Georges Road and Stuart Street,Blakehurst6 Princes Highway, King Georges Road and Stuart Street, Blakehurst – Intersection improvements
2. Consultation approach2.1. Consultation objectivesWe consulted with the community and key stakeholders on the proposal to: seek comment, feedback, ideas, and suggestions for us to consider when making a decision build a database of interested and concerned community members we could continue to engagewith during the proposal’s development and delivery.2.2. ValuesOur values underpin our decisions and behaviours when working with customers, colleagues, stakeholdersand partners. Customer focus - We place the customer at the centre of everything we do Collaboration - We value each other and create better outcomes by working together Solutions - We deliver sustainable and innovative solutions to NSW’s transport needs Integrity - We take responsibility and communicate openly Safety - We prioritise safety for our people and our customers.2.3. How consultation was doneCommunity members and stakeholders were encouraged to provide their feedback and make commentsvia email, mail or phone contact with the project team.We distributed 1,944 letters (Appendix A) to local residents, businesses and key stakeholders, (AppendixB) inviting feedback on the proposal. We also directly emailed copies of the letter to key stakeholdersincluding MP’s, Georges River Council and Mater Dei Catholic Primary School.This part of the report only advises on consultation activity that we developed. It does not take into accountother sources like word of mouth or stories published in the newspaper7 Princes Highway, King Georges Road and Stuart Street, Blakehurst – Intersection improvements

Table 1- Feedback summary and Roads and Maritime's responsesCategoryMatter raisedRoads and Maritime’s responseIncreased traffic congestion in the areaThe proposal will cause further traffic congestion andtravel times in the area.Roads and Maritime acknowledges your feedback.A review of the road corridor of the Princes Highway and King Georges Roadidentified the need for intersection improvements to improve traffic flow and safetyPeople living in Phillip Street and Joseph Street aregoing to receive all the extra traffic exiting Blakehurst on in the Blakehurst area.already tight streets to accommodate issues on yourThe project has been cancelled until further investigations and solutions formain roads.improving traffic flow at this intersection are identified.Using the alternative route to access Princes Highwayfrom Phillip Street is not a feasible alternative as peakhour traffic on King Georges Road is almost bumper tobumper.By closing off Stuart Street for access to the Highwaythis will increase traffic at other intersections which willonly cause congestion in other areas. It is already verydifficult to turn right from Philip Street to PrincesHighway.Stuart Street is a main access and exit point forresidents of Blakehurst and Baldface. If this proposedchange is implemented, it will create additionalcongestion and safety concerns on alternative routesfor drivers wishing to access King Georges Road andthe Princes Highway, especially during the morning andevening peak traffic periods and school zone times.The residents of Blakehurst and Baldface currentlyhave limited vehicle access in and out of their suburb.Changing the access of any one of these entry and exitroutes would have a major negative impact on the otherroutes, which are already functioning at capacity atpeak times.The Water Street area is already extremely busy andused to access the private school buses, by the localbus stop at James Street. and the Princes Highway. Itcannot afford to have extra vehicles on it that can nolonger use the Stuart Street exit.
Closing access to the Princes Highway and KingGeorges Road would create greater traffic volume inWater Street, Phillip Street, Church Street, TownsonStreet, Hatfield Street and Terry Street. This increasein traffic volume would certainly lead to longer waitingtimes for traffic wanting to enter the Princes Highway.The three exits onto the Princes Highway and KingGeorges Road (Water Street, Stuart Street and PhillipStreet) are already heavily congested in peak hour. Theremoval of one of the exit points will further increase thecurrent congestion as well as contribute to congestionon the new thoroughfares.Approval has been issued for a five storeyresidential/commercial property on Princes Highwaybetween Stuart Street and James Street. The trafficinvolved with the construction as well as the newresidents and tenants will contribute to what mayalready be two bottlenecks at Phillip Street and WaterStreet.Congestion will be exacerbated with the ongoingdevelopment of medium-density residences along thePrinces Highway in Blakehurst.Presently access onto Princes Highway via StuartStreet is ideal as it is a straightforward exit point fromBlakehurst with very limited foot traffic.Closing Stuart Street as an exit point as proposed willcause even more congestion as local residents try to“cut across the lanes” from James Street, TownsendStreet and Water Street.Blocking access out of Stuart Street onto King GeorgesRoad and Princes Highway will only cause morecongestion for residents and increase traffic via PhillipStreet and Water Street.Cars, pedestrians (including children going to and fromschool), buses, trucks (sometimes ridiculously largetrucks), exit and enter out of Phillip Street. Somemornings it takes 2 or 3 sets of traffic light changes toexit Phillip Street out onto King Georges Road andPrinces Highway.10 Princes Highway, King Georges Road and Stuart Street, Blakehurst – Intersection improvements
Stop the right hand turn from Princes Highway ontoKing George's Road; it pushes all the people onto thesmall side streets which cannot handle all the extracars.Redirecting traffic from 3 exits to the proposed at Phillipand Water streets, will only create greater congestionand waiting times for residents with already limitedoptions.Turning right from Phillip Street into King Georges Roadto access Princes Highway is highly impractical due tothe combined general traffic and Mater Dei School,particularly during morning and afternoon school zones.Heading down Phillip Street and turning right to enterKing George’s Road is virtually impossible in peakhours, school hours and every hour during the day.Traffic from Blakehurst and surrounding suburbs willdeviate to the next street along, namely Phillip Street,causing congestion.King Georges Road is already like a 3 lane parking lotat peak hour. Turning left into King Georges Road offTerry Street is a slow process and banks up the trafficon Terry Street. This in turn causes congestion of trafficon Princes Highway trying to access Terry Street.The plan will still cause congestion for Joseph andWater streets as all exiting traffic is funnelled there andwith traffic lights being slow at these intersections moreissues than less.It will create excessive traffic build up in Phillip streetand water street which are already busy enough. Boththese streets are unable to cope with the load of the twoway traffic as it is and it will make it extremelyfrustrating for residents to exit their driveways and evencrossing the road, especially in Phillip St.11 Princes Highway, King Georges Road and Stuart Street, Blakehurst – Intersection improvements
Lots of cars will be passing Stuart Lane which willcause more congestion and unwarranted noise(currently a quiet street) except when the diners park todine at Chinese Restaurant (Imperial Peking).The proposal intends to alleviate traffic congestionentering Blakehurst or turning right onto King GeorgesRoad by removing the option of travelling northboundonto Princes Highway. This is merely an attempt todivert traffic into residential areas rather than mainarterial roads.This proposal would force Blakehurst residentscramming from 3 safe exits into 2. Traffic problems andincidents/crashes will grow rapidly due to the heavierloads on Phillip & Water Streets and this wouldsignificantly increase risk and the number of trafficincidents.The proposal will result in an increase in traffic throughPhillip Street, turning right onto King Georges Road inorder to gain access to Princes Highway city bound.There is currently congestion at this intersectionresulting in cars queuing across the intersection as is.This would also result in congestion along Phillip Streetwhich as it stands is not wide enough to accommodate2 vehicles passing let along an increase in traffic flowas well as other streets.Access and exit congestion in surrounding narrowstreets will increase exponentiallyDuring afternoon peak hour, King Georges Road southbound is always heavily congested, and residents tryingto reach Princes Highway already (under current trafficarrangements) often wait for 2 or 3 changes of trafficlights to turn right from Phillip onto King Georges Road,and then take the left-turn lane onto the PrincesHighway. Closing Stuart Street would add additionalcars to this waiting line and cause unnecessary delaysto local residents and a backlog of cars in Phillip Streetturning right.12 Princes Highway, King Georges Road and Stuart Street, Blakehurst – Intersection improvements
SafetyThe proposal will increase the risk for cars turning intoLynwood Street from Phillip Street, not only due tooncoming traffic on Phillip Street, but also rear-endcollisions from cars turning left and right off KingGeorges Road.Safety is a major issue where many parents accessPhillip Street and Lynwood Street to drop off their kidsto the local primary school on King George's RoadDue to congestion at the Water Street access point, theresidents will be more likely to try to use the other entrypoints onto Princes Highway from the western side ofthe Princes Highway at Townsend Street, HatfieldStreet, Church Street and James Street. However, noneof these entry points have traffic lights. Given that thetraffic along Princes Highway is very heavy at manyperiods throughout the day, use of these entry points toaccess Princes Highway will significantly increase therisk of traffic accidents at these locations.The traffic that will be redirected to Phillip Street andWater Street will cause greater safety issues throughthe streets that lead to theses points of entry o
