Central Avenue/Clifton Crescent intersection road safety enhancements
The City received a total of 936 valid responses from the community during the 5-week consultation period. At the Council Meeting of 30 May 2023, Council agreed to the community’s second preferred option which is to construct a raised intersection plateau (with no movements restricted). This option was selected as it was agreed to be the least likely to cause further distribution of traffic or ‘rat-runs’ onto nearby local roads.
The Council also resolved to submit a grant funding application for the 2024/2025 budget of the Black Spot Program for the construction of the raised intersection plateau. The City is currently awaiting the outcome of the funding application.
FAQs
Why hasn't a roundabout been considered?
A roundabout has been considered but there is not enough space available within the road reserve.
Why haven't traffic signals been considered?
Traffic signals require approval from Main Roads WA and this location does not meet the criteria set out in the applicable Main Road Policies and Guidelines.
