    I strongly oppose this proposal, due to potential danger to pedestrian crossing the street. The proposed signage is facing a bendy intersection which includes three pedestrian crossings. The rapidly turning Help Street results in limited visibility of the approaching cars from the east side. Pedestrians crossing the road from Monkey Bar towards north-west already have a very limited visibility on cars approaching from the right. People leaving the bar may be under influence of alcohol. This is a busy intersection connecting residential complex of high risers (Pacific Place Chatswood ) with supermarkets and bars.

    On top of that, the segment of Help Street, between the proposed signs is a place where the bicycle lane joins the footpath. It's a sensitive place, where all pedestrians, cyclists and drivers have to be extra careful.

    The signage will result in distraction in a sensitive spot with already limited visibility.

    I oppose this proposal too. There is too much happening with the traffic, cyclists & pedestrians. Many times I have seen pedestrians ignoring the walking lights and crossing the road, expecting cars will stop for them. Drivers need to concentrate, so it is important that they do not have distractions such as digital signage.

    I oppose this proposal on the grounds of safety. It is a busy intersection for vehicles and pedestrians. It is also a "high workload" intersection for all users requiring maximum concentration for accident avaoidance. The presence of unnecessary and unrelated messaging within the intersection precinct would distract drivers and pedestrians and put lives and property at risk.

    I also disagree with this proposal

    1 This proposal is in a high activity pedestrian area with multiple road intersections and thus poses serious safety issues.
    2 It is in the proximity of hundreds of high rise residential apartments whose amenity would be significantly impacted.
