Traffic Committee

Functions of the Committee

The Ryde Traffic Committee (RTC) is a technical advisory committee which is required to advise Council on matters referred to it.  Council refers traffic related matters to the RTC prior to exercising its delegated functions.  Matters relating to classified roads or functions are referred directly to the RTA, and are not dealt with by Council. 

The RTC considers the technical merits of proposals against current technical guidelines.  Council is not bound by the advice of the Traffic Committee.
