Hazard. Esplanade Glenelg South

To: mail@holdfast.sa.gov.au

 

The road surface next to the kerb repairs needs attention to remove the hazard to cyclists.

 

The edge of the bitumen (up to 60mm deep) will trip a cyclist up, causing them to fall onto the road and into the path of traffic.

 

This area has been under repair since Jan 2009 and while the unsealed surface was ok during summer, with rain the whole section is now hazardous.

As a minimum please fill and compact the area next to the kerb repairs.

 

To remove the hazard please reinstate the bitumen.-

This is an excellent example of correct fill after kerb repairs and before the bitumen is reinstated.

The hazard to cyclists is reduced because:
- The surface of the fill is compacted well and narrow bike tyres do not sink into the gravel
- The fill height is level to the edge of the bitumen and is also well compacted at the edge
- There is minimal loose gravel in the gutter or on the road

The delay to have the bitumen reinstated here has been lengthy, but the hazard has been minimised with the effort made when filling and compacting the area.

The area may require some maintenance in patches in the event of rain or further delays to reinstate the bitumen, however deterioration will be slower.

Please pass on my thanks to the staff or contractors. I am sure all cyclists are greatful.

This was not from one single impact, but continuous impacts from:
- service covers
