6 Tuesday February 6 2018 News • By Julia Evans NEW ROAD markings are to be put in on Rothesay Rd in a bid to deter speeding motorists. The Parklands road between Queenspark and Putake Drives has had ongoing issues with excessive vehicle speeds. In a memo to the Coastal- Burwood Community Board, city council staff said it is likely due to the fact that part of Rothesay Rd has a forest on the north side with no road markings. “It presents a very open traffic environment and perhaps feels less like a 50km/h urban road but more like a higher speed rural road to some users,” city council staff said. The board asked staff to investigate the possibility of relocating bollards to address the parking and speeding issues. However, staff told the board: “Removing/relocating the bollards at the front north side of the parking bays . . . may in fact be counter-productive in that it would create an even more open traffic environment and potentially lead to higher vehicle speeds.” Instead staff said to address both speed issues and encroachment of parked vehicles, new road markings are to be installed. New edge and centre lines will be painted around the curve opposite 102 and 104 Rothesay Rd. There are currently no road markings there.
