Kenso Traffic

Following concerns expressed by residents about traffic in Kensington and West Kingsford, Council is doing a Local Area Traffic Management (LATM) study.

You may have seen traffic counting in your area, either by people with counters or by rubber tubes stretched across the roads. These traffic counts were taken between 15-21 October 2011 and give information on local traffic flow - including speed, volume, vehicle-type and the routes chosen by motorists.

The results of the traffic counts are in the library and explanations of what the graphs and tables mean are in the FAQs. The information on the where vehicles are entering and leaving the study area will be posted in the document library when it is available.

Community consultation and traffic data gathering are vital components of the Council's staged approach. Analysis of the results will guide decisions about the introduction of 'entry thresholds' into the area. It will assist in developing future LATM proposals to 'treat' streets with various traffic control devices as well as establishing the priorities for introducing such devices.

Council will be inviting submissions from consultants to undertake the LATM study and Council will be able to provide further information about time frames and community consultations activities once the consultant is appointed.

This website will be regularly updated with the latest information. We will be asking questions and taking quick polls regularly. The document library has all Council's documents relating to traffic management in Kensington from 1995 to the present. There are up to date information kits on this project at the Bowen Library and Council's Administrative Centre and we will keep Kensington Precinct meetings fully informed with the progress of the LATM study. Randwick Mayor, Scott Nash provides some background in this video.

Please sign in - or if you haven't done so yet register to participate - join in the community conversation and share your ideas with Council and your fellow residents.

Council is committed to keeping the community informed about the LATM study and seeking community ideas and opinions about traffic management in the area.
