Halswell Road heading west

Provide signage/on road markings starting at Hendersons Road to direct left turning cyclists to merge to shared path. Provide an obvious and smooth transition down to the on road cycle lane on Monsaraz Blvd.

Related Improvements

Cycle lanes required on either Templetons or Augustine to connect up easily to Canterbury Agricultural Park. Both would be preferred. Shared path approach not recommended if Council is genuine in encouraging pedestrian/Public Transport and cycling to access major events at CAP.

Please review speed limits on SH 75 from the south leading to this intersection.
