As part of our commitment to improve pedestrian safety, we are proposing a new Shared Zone in Wilson Street, Wollongong.

The local community asked us to improve pedestrian safety in and around Wilson Street. In partnership with Transport NSW we analysed traffic behaviours and have designed a solution through the creation of a shared zone.

A Shared Zone will enable pedestrians and vehicles to share Wilson Street safely. To identify the area as a Shared Zone some of the streetscape will change to make it more visible. This includes the inclusion of a surface design on the road asphalt.

Where are the changes being made?

The changes will run the entirety of Wilson Street, Wollongong.

What is being proposed?

The Shared Zone we are planning to deliver will prioritise the safety of pedestrians in Wilson Street. The key elements will include:

  • Set 10kmph speed zone throughout Wilson Street
  • Raised continuous footpath (Campbell Street / Wilson Street intersection)
  • Introduction of 4 speed humps
  • Signage indicating 10kmph speed zone and 'Give Way to Pedestrians'
  • Alternate parking to be both on the left and right side of the road
  • Asphalt surface treatment to road in a design chosen by the community

You can view the detailed plans here.

We want to hear from you
