Where You Are
Blanshard Street & Yates Street is represented by a current City traffic-signal asset at two named public roads. The official record is classified SIG, rather than a flashing beacon or pedestrian-only control. Check street signs and the active vehicle indication before crossing. Official zoning within 55 metres includes CBD-1: Central Business District-1 Zone, CBD-2: Central Business District-2 Zone; this is surrounding land-use context, not a confirmed tenant or entrance.
Final Orientation
Use marked crossings and verify the destination entrance on site. Compass distances are straight-line references to other selected Victoria curbs, not travel directions. Traffic, transit, parking, accessibility and weather conditions can change during the journey.
