Local area traffic management
The main objectives of a Local Area Traffic Management Study are to address road safety issues, traffic speed and volume issues, parking safety problems and improve the residential environment. The process involves extensive community consultation leading to the development of a traffic management plan for the local areas.
Local area traffic management refers to physical changes to a local street, which is primarily designed to benefit residents and nearby users.
Local area traffic management studies:
- analyse existing traffic conditions in a local area
- aim to improve safety and residential amenity
- consider the impact of traffic on an area basis, and
- involve the community in identifying issues, developing solutions and aims to achieve majority support.
