East section - Glynburn Rd to Gurrs Rd
In this section of Beulah Road:
- the road is curvilinear and 8.5m wide.
- there are central medians and the road lanes are 3.7m on either side of these medians.
- the speed limit is 50km/h.
Item 1 - Off Street Bicycle Path within Bradman Reserve
The Working Party proposed an off-street bicycle path on this busy section of Beulah Road for cyclist and motorist safety.
This final concept could be either a shared cyclist and pedestrian path constructed in Bradman Reserve, or, a separate cyclist path and footpath.
Item 2 - Realign the painted island on Beulah Road at Yeronga Avenue
Narrow the painted island on Beulah Road at the intersection with Yeronga Avenue to create more road width and thus more space for cyclists and motorists to safely use the road.
Item 3 - Entry Median at Glynburn Road
The Working Party proposed that an ‘Entry Statement’ on Beulah Road at the intersection with Glynburn Road be installed to create the sense of a local road, discourage cut-through traffic, and reduce traffic speed by:
- building a central median
- planting additional trees on the verge
- building out section of the kerb at this location to physically narrow the road.
It was noted that the installation of a central median would reduce the road width and slow down vehicles turning in and out of Beulah Road.
Item 4 - Landscaped Driveway Entry or Driveway Link
Option 1 - Driveway Entry
Option 2 - Driveway Link
To lower motorist speeds on Beulah Road the Working Party propose two options (a driveway entry or a driveway link) to be constructed on Beulah Road where it intersects with Orange Grove.
Both options are located in existing no-stopping zones so no parking is lost. Also a cycling lane will be installed on each side of the road.
These options would slow traffic and create a sense of a local road.
Option 1 - Driveway Entry
A driveway entry changes the priority direction of the traffic. In this proposal a new Give Way sign will be installed on Beulah Road at the intersection with Orange Grove. Traffic heading westbound on Beulah Road will be required to Give Way to traffic on Orange Grove.
Traffic travelling eastbound on Beulah Road will be required to indicate to turn left at the intersection to continue along to Glynburn Road.
Option 2 - Driveway Link
A driveway link narrows the road into one shared lane, slowing traffic down. The link allows for one vehicle at a time with motorists required to give way to vehicles using the link before entering.
