Burchills were engaged by TMR to complete Road Safety (RSA) for 5 locations around the Gold Coast in preparation for the Commonwealth Games.
Due to the incapacity of sporting venues and transport hubs to accommodate Games ground-based workforce as well as bus drivers, TMR and Games LinQ have identified a need for driver mealing and layover at school and community centre locations around the Gold Coast – Nerang Primary School, Arundel Primary School, Helensvale Primary School, Tugun Community Centre and Carrara Community Centre.
Burchills undertook Road Safety Audit at identified 5 locations proposed for the Bus Driver Mealing Stations
- Nerang Primary School
- Helensvale Primary School
- Arundel Primary School
- Tugun Community Centre
- Carrara Community Centre
The Road Safety involved review of the proposed bus parking area in relation to visibility at each location for buses entering and exiting the parking bays as well as for oncoming vehicles. Swept path analysis were undertaken to identify any constrains for bus movements entering / exiting the site. Recommendations were made relating to the locations and suitability of bus bays as well as appropriate signage necessary to support the new traffic order. A traffic instruction order plans were prepared for each location.
