Future sealing

As funds permit the ROW roads within Kinnoull subdivision will be sealed starting with the steeper sections.

Additional sealing

Owners within Kinnoull will have the right to seal sections of the ROW to prevent dust but this will be at their own discretion and cost.

Marker Posts

Plastic Slim-Pro edge markets are placed on the outbends for increased safety and visibility at night and in bad weather conditions and will be maintained as necessary.

Bunds on Outside Edges

Many of the roads at Kinnoull have a ½ metre high bunds on the outside edge as a safety measure. Also where there is a bund the road is formed sloping towards the inside bank so that the water is controlled and also as an added safety measure. These bunds will be maintained as necessary.
