Urban Road Safety Program - Herdsman Glendalough Precinct

The City and Main Roads WA have been working collaboratively on delivering the 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. In the third year of the Program, we are considering the installation of raised safety platforms in the Herdsman-Glendalough Precinct, south of Scarborough Beach Road.

It is proposed to install eight raised safety platforms at intersections on Hasler Road, Walters Drive and Parkland Road. These raised platforms are designed to slow vehicle speeds and are red in colour to better highlight the presence of an intersection. They have been designed for heavy vehicle use and will be larger and more forgiving to commercial vehicles than the raised safety platforms installed in residential areas for our previous URSP projects.

An additional standalone treatment is proposed at the intersection of Pollard Street and the Harborne Street slip road. This will serve a similar purpose in slowing down traffic and highlighting the Pollard Street intersection to road users.

The City received some great community feedback to improve road safety in the Herdsman-Glendalough area through the Urban Road Safety Program. With majority support for the project, the City will work with Main Roads to complete the design with the goal of constructing the proposed traffic treatments by the end of the financial year. Where suggestions for changes have been made by the community, these will be discussed with Main Roads WA to see if they are feasible and can be incorporated within the scope of this project.
