Recommendation Undertake a review of the proposed actions listed in TABLE 3 and 4. Seek future budgets to implement the improvements measures arising from the review. 12.3 Crash data DTEI has provided the City with a crash database and details of locations where the types and numbers of 60 Part 1 - Overview | Local Road Network crashes have satisfied the Black Spot Funding criteria (Federal and State Black Spot Program). The City of West Torrens has been very pro-active in previous years in addressing the crash issues. Many of the locations identified as potential Black Spot sites have already been investigated and/or addressed by the City in previous years. The improvements under these programs include: • James Melrose Road – Federal program • Mooringe Avenue – Federal program • Mooringe Avenue/James Melrose Road – Federal program • George Street/Dew Street – State program • George Street/Albert Street – State program • Davenport Terrace – State program
12.0 Local Road Network • Marleston Avenue/Farnham Road – State program • Kinkaid Avenue/Deeds Road – State program • Westside Bikeway – State program Fatal crashes, when reported, are also investigated and reports prepared for Council consideration. It is recommended that the DTEI crash database be reviewed on an annual basis and that funding be sought to implement improvement works where the criteria for funding has been met. The complete DTEI data for 2001 to 2005, in detailed form, has been collated and summarised into a format where screening by main roads, Council roads, road name and suburbs is now possible. This database would be used as part of the Assessment Procedure outlined in PART 2 when assessing concerns raised about traffic issues. An example of the crash database for a mid-block crash along a local street is given below. See table below. Community Road Safety Group The continuation of the work of the Community Road Safety Group is supported. The establishment of a Community Road Safety Group within the City of West Torrens has allowed the “bigpicture” road safety issues to be discussed and considered specifically within the area. One of the major projects undertaken by the Group and funded by Council, DTEI and other stakeholders, was the mock crash staged at Thebarton Oval in 2006. Many other road safety initiatives have been considered and reviewed by the Group. ‘ The establishment of a community road safety group has allowed the big picture road safety issues to be discussed and considered.’ Recommendation • Review the DTEI crash database on an annual basis and seek funding from the Federal and State Black Spot program to address critical crash sites. • Investigate fatal crash locations as they arise to consider improvement works, where appropriate. • Support the activities of the Community Road Safety Group on road safety initiatives in the City. 12.4 Monitoring of data Traffic data forms the basis of most analysis undertaken in Traffic Engineering. The commonly used data includes: • daily and peak hour traffic flows • number of commercial vehicles • types of commercial vehicles (based on axle lengths and number of axles) • traffic speeds (mean speeds and 85th percentile speeds). • In roads under the care and control of Council, Council is responsible for the collection of such data. The data covers all of the local streets and collector street network. Where roads are under the care and control of DTEI, data can be obtained from the Department. These are usually turning counts at major intersections undertaken over an 11-hour period. Collection of traffic data is an important aspect of traffic management work. It allows traffic conditions to be identified for particular streets and, where available, it allows comparisons to be made with previous data so that an assessment of “traffic growth” can be made.
