The Road

I thought I should give out some information on the road. There are about 5 successful shops on the middle section of the road and there are three highly used bus stops. Their are about 200 users of the bus stop daily half being form school children and the other half from city commuters. Bellevue road is in the Woollahra council double bay ward area.

Partician

Soon I will be starting a partician outside local shops on the middle section of Bellevue road.

speed limit

The speed limit for Bellvue road at the moment is 50km thats 10km slower than most places in woollahra council. This seems like a slow speed so I think that instead of slowing the speed limit I will need to enforce it and mabye put in some speed bumps.

upper Bellevue road

in 2007 they enforced a 40km speed limit in the upper section of Bellevue road

Slow Down Traffic on Bellevue Road

What: For my make a difference challenge I would like to slow the traffic down on the middle section (around Crave)of Bellevue road.
Why: I think this is important to me because I live very close to Bellvue road and am unable to cross the road because of speeding cars.
How: I will know that I am finished this by when i am able to cross Bellevue road safely.
