Hammerheads are not favoured in residential
areas because they limit on-street parking and
may create problems with maneuvering.
Through roads are preferred.
Equivalent clay brick paving is acceptable
The majority of road failures in the Hobsons
Bay area result from earth movement (swelling
or shrinkage) vehicle loading criteria being
less significant. This earth movement is
familiar in the highly reactive balsaltic clays of
the Williamstown, Newport and Altona North
areas and the effect lessens towards the west.
Current pavement profiles are effective and
will be maintained as the AustRoads
guidelines do not address this problem. A
CSFCR layer is necessary to prevent the fine
clay particles from the subgrade migrating
through the pavement. This sealing of the base
has been recommended by independent
geological consultants.
