Specific issues of concern on Stage 4

The final corner on the finishing circuit is a 90° left hand turn. There is a traffic control installation in
place on the right hand side of the road just around the corner. This constricts the roadway to about
5m. There will be barriers on this. (Photo’s 1 + 2)

The road surface to the finish line is sound but very bumpy. There some manhole covers that have
sunk into the road.

There is a pinch point on the road in Langford Street about 250m after the finish line. There is a
pedestrian control barrier on the edge of the footpath. (Photo’s 3+4)
