Remove the following roads:

Elizabeth Avenue Forest Hill

Inglewood road

The route area has undergone significant urban development with the construction of new subdivisions. General access by class 2 B double combinations is not compatible with the road and traffic conditions and council is now requiring access be restricted to permit only.

Department for Infrastructure and Transport (DIT)

Remove the following roads:

The Parade Norwood (between Portrush Rd and Fullarton Rd)

I note that The Parade is a commercial precinct with outdoor dining and high pedestrian activity and the operation of these vehicles raises the following risks:

  • impose adverse effects on the community arising from noise, emissions or traffic congestion or from other matters stated in approved guidelines; or
  • pose significant risks to public safety arising from heavy vehicle use that is incompatible with road infrastructure or traffic conditions

I believe there is a more suitable route for these vehicles (Magill Road or Kensington Road).
