Adopted by Council - Pedestrian Crossing Warrant Policy

13 March 2024

At its meeting on Tuesday 5 March 2024, Council considered a report from the Local Traffic Committee about this policy. The Pedestrian Crossing Warrant Policy was adopted by Council with minor changes. Council made that following decision:

  • a) that the clause on page 7 of the policy that allows for crossings to be provided at less than the numerical warrant be amended to read ‘A pedestrian (zebra) crossing may also be considered at locations where there is a deviation from meeting the warrant, such as where the pedestrian crossing would serve as an essential link to an overall network of pedestrian facilities, or for a vulnerable group such as children, the elderly or mobility impaired’; and
  • b) that a report be provided to Council 12 months after the adoption of the policy about any new pedestrian crossings that have been approved or refused under the new policy, with reasons for the approvals and refusals to be included in the report.
