Submitters liked the following elements:

  • No stopping lines – 8

Submitters were asked specifically whether they supported the use of speed humps along Ferry Road, the majority disliked them.

37 submitters supported speed humps, 81 submitters didn't support speed humps and 7 didn't know / weren't sure

Submitters disliked speed humps for the following reasons:

  • Potential increase in congestion – 58
  • High number of speed humps proposed – 11
  • Potential damage to vehicles – 9
  • Potential reduction in safety due to vehicles speeding up and slowing down – 8
  • Potential negative impact on emergency vehicles – 7

A number of submitters also raised concerns about the Ferry Road / Aldwins Road / Ensors Road intersection causing congestion along Ferry Road. While this is outside of the project scope, we've forwarded these concerns to the relevant staff for further investigation.
