Urban Road Safety Program
The City and Main Roads WA have been working collaboratively on a new Urban Road Safety Program (URSP) to implement low cost road safety treatments on an area wide basis to reduce the likelihood of fatal and serious injury crashes. With 75% support from the community, the City installed fourteen raised safety platforms at intersections in the area bounded by First Ave, Beaufort St, Central Ave, and Railway Pde.
In addition to the raised intersection platforms, a mini roundabout was installed at the intersection of Park Rd and Farnley St.
Main Roads WA have agreed to trial a 40 km/h speed zone in the area enclosed by Railway Parade, Beaufort Street, Central Avenue and First Avenue (included) to work in conjunction with the area wide traffic treatments.
40 Kph area zone signs as part of the Mt Lawley urban road safety program have now been installed.

FAQs
How were the treatment locations selected?
Treatment locations were selected through discussions with Main Roads WA with intersections selected based on a significant crash history but not meeting the criteria for other road safety programs (such as the Black Spot program).
Can my street be considered for inclusion in this program?
If further funding is made available under this program, future locations will be selected based on crash patterns within a similar small local area. We are currently investigating the opportunity to install additional treatments between First Ave and Walcott Street in conjunction with Main Roads approval for 40 km/h area speed zone trial.
