We are preparing to trial four pedestrian crossings in the Airlie Beach Main Street for a period of 6 months, from the 1 December 2023. Recent consultation with Airlie Beach Main Street businesses, key stakeholders, residents and visitors via face-to-face conversations, market stalls and online feedback, helped identify safety concerns with the current vehicle priority status. See Consultation Summary and Consultation Report for more information. Consensus identified that the current situation needed improvement. The trial will include:
Four pedestrian crossings in the Main Street and Esplanade
Temporary planter boxes at former crossing areas to improve landscape amenity, balance traffic flow and mitigate confusion by preventing people crossing where they don't have priority, and
Variable message signage (VMS), line marking and corflute signage at various locations, for vehicles and pedestrians.
To facilitate the trial, nightworks on Thursday 30 November from 6pm will involve:
Partial road closure, one lane open, to install pedestrian crossing paint and other associated road treatments.
Placing temporary planter boxes at former crossing areas will improve landscape amenity, balance traffic flow and mitigate confusion by preventing people crossing where they don't have priority.
Feedback
During the six-month trial we will be capturing feedback from all users to help identify what works and what doesn’t work so we can utilise this information for future considerations for the Airlie Beach Masterplan to be developed from mid 2024. Provide your thoughts or ideas via the feedback or map tool below.
