Weir Rd Update

The independent Road Safety Audit of Weir Rd has determined the current design is within acceptable design limits, but it recommends improvements to ensure Council is doing better than acceptable. This includes:

• Revise the road design to have 2.35m gravel shoulders where practicable (originally specified with 1m shoulders),
• Seal the road as per the original specifications detailing a 4m seal width,
• Consider future speed restrictions for the length of road, where supported by the road safety audit, and
• Installation of additional safety signage.

Council Officers is in the process of revising the road design to address these recommendations, along with a request for a stop sign in lieu of a give-way sign at the intersection of Weir and Nagambie-Rushworth Rds, and are expected to present a report to Council in December.
