Report No. 6.2           No Stopping zone at intersection of Old Bangalow Road and Bangalow Road, Byron Bay

File No:                       I2023/1533

The purpose of this report is to extend the No Stopping zone from The Roadhouse Café car park on the corner of Bangalow Road down the south side of Old Bangalow Road to the railway line (see area shown below).

There are two resident driveways on this section of road, one of these provides access to Byron Lakeside Holiday Apartments which provides short and long term accommodation for approximately 35 units. We have received community feedback in relation to driver sight distances at the Lakeside driveway, when cars are parked either side of the driveway and also because of the curve of the road. Following review, extension of no stopping area was deemed the most practical solution to the issue.
