Abstract

The Queensland Streets document was published in May 1993 to provide the basis for
uniform design standards for residential streets in Queensland. This document
incorporated new design principles and techniques for the control of traffic volumes and
traffic speeds in residential streets.
This dissertation investigates the traffic calming control devices that have been installed
in the residential streets of Logan City. The investigation includes assessing traffic
calming devices in Logan City to predict the likely speeds through the devices, carrying
out on-site measurement of speeds through devices, making comparisons with the
Queensland Streets document to assess if these devices meet the objectives of Queensland
Streets, and, if satisfactory devices were found, determining a small number of devices
that could be adopted as standard devices for use in Logan City.
