(c) The works were undertaken during the school holidays and outside peak times to minimise the impact on motorists and residents. The works were completed in just over three days with a 40 km/h speed limit implemented during this time.

(d) No consultation was undertaken because there is no direct residential frontage or driveways leading to the location of the works. Transport Canberra and City Services arranged for the works to be undertaken during the school holidays to reduce the level of disruption.

(e) The cost to construct the median strip was $24,992.00 (including GST).

Roads—traffic management
(Question No 2826)

Mr Milligan asked the Minister for Roads and Active Travel, upon notice, on 29 November 2019:

(1) When was the most recent assessment of the traffic signal system conducted along Horse Park Drive.

(2) What is the reasoning behind the decision to not coordinate the traffic light signals along Horse Park Drive.

(3) When is the next assessment of the current system of traffic signals along Horse Park Drive due to be undertaken.

Mr Steel: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

(1) These traffic signals were last reviewed in August 2019.

(2) These traffic signals have never provided co-ordination at all times of day. Throughout peak times, these signals are generally coordinated.

Coordination is removed at times when through-traffic demands do not warrant the increase in delays to pedestrians or side street traffic and/or the quality of coordination is poor.

(3) The operation of these signals is currently under review.

Suburban Land Agency—programs

(2) What is the budget expenditure for the Mingle program in the 2019-20 year (current budget) and for each year across the forward estimates.
