As part of our ongoing commitment to making our streets safer and improving our local community, we are undertaking a Local Area Traffic Management (LATM) study for the suburbs of Largs Bay and Largs North (partial), which we’re referring to collectively as Largs throughout the project.

This study is part of PAE’s general LATM program, which aims to address various traffic, pedestrian and parking issues within our community. Common concerns raised in the Largs Bay/Largs North area include:

• Speeding, traffic volume and traffic safety issues
• Non-local traffic ‘rat-running’ through the area
• Safety for people walking and cycling
• Parking
• Freight movement
• Public transport accessibility

The study area encompasses the region bounded by Wills Street to the south, Military Road to the west, Strathfield Terrace to the north, and Victoria and Mersey Roads to the east. Please refer to the Document Library (on the right) or the map below, for an overview map of the study area.

So why should you get involved? Because this isn't just about traffic. It's about community. It's about shaping the future of our streets together, ensuring they're not just functional but vibrant, safe, and sustainable spaces for us all.

This engagement closed on Sunday 2 June 2024.

We asked residents and businesses within Largs Bay and Largs North, to tell us about traffic conditions on their street and within the LATM study area. We asked participants to tell us about traffic and mobility issues and potential solutions, by either completing the online feedback form, adding a marker to the map or contacting us directly.

When ask about traffic conditions in their street, respondents answered the following:

Respondents were asked to identify traffic issues across the study area and suggest possible solutions.

Key traffic and mobility issues identified:

• Traffic speeding
• Traffic volume
• Pedestrian crossings
• Pedestrian and bike paths
• Parking
• Turn delays on arterial roads / request for traffic light
• Request for roundabout
• Rat running
• Request for stop sign
• Noise issues with heavy vehicle movement

A Residents Working Group has been formed and will meet throughout August and September 2024 to formalise a draft Local Area Traffic Management Scheme. Following which, further community consultation on the draft scheme will occur.

If you would like to speak to a project team member about the project and any specific traffic issues or questions, you can contact our Transport Team on the below details. You can also contact us to request a hardcopy feedback form be sent to your address.
