“Traffic flow within the CBD is impacted when turning traffic needs to give way to pedestrians crossing at traffic signal controlled intersections. This is particularly noticeable at the Liverpool Street junction with Murray Street where heavy pedestrian crossing demand limits the time available for vehicles to make the left turn into Murray Street.” The General Manager reports:
“In line with the Council’s policy in relation to Notices of Motion, I advise that the matter is considered to be within the jurisdiction of the Hobart City Council as it relates to the partially adopted City of Hobart Transport Strategy 2018-30 – Themes and Position Statements.
It should be noted that traffic signal operations are a matter for the Department of State Growth.”
