Nightcliff Road Pedestrian Crossings Upgrades
Arccos Consulting spearheaded the design and documentation for the upgrading of existing pedestrian infrastructure along Nightcliff Road, specifically between Ferntree Street and Ryland Road. The project aimed to enhance pedestrian safety and accessibility in an area known for its high pedestrian traffic, particularly due to nearby schools and the popular Nightcliff Foreshore.
Key Achievements:
Signalised Crossing: Implemented a signalised pedestrian crossing to improve safety and facilitate smoother pedestrian movement across Nightcliff Road.
Median Upgrades: Upgraded medians to enhance traffic management and provide safer crossing points for pedestrians.
Pedestrian Refuge Islands: Installed pedestrian refuge islands to offer safe havens for pedestrians crossing the road, particularly in areas with heavy traffic flow.
Footpaths and Pram Ramps: Enhanced footpaths to comply with DDA standards and installed pram ramps to improve accessibility for pedestrians, including those with strollers or mobility aids.
Innovative Design Solutions: Incorporated mountable kerbs and pavements at the Chapman Road intersection to accommodate larger turning vehicles while ensuring pedestrian safety.
Community Benefit: Provided a safer environment for pedestrians and cyclists, contributing to the overall well-being and livability of the Nightcliff area.
The Nightcliff Road Pedestrian Crossings Upgrades project stands as a testament to Arccos Consulting's commitment to creating safer and more accessible urban environments for communities in the Northern Territory.
