About the project

This study is an update to the Road Management Plan prepared in 2006. This revision reviews the progress of the implementation of the original recommendations, updates the crash statistics to the most recent five year period and re-assesses and modifies appropriate recommendations.

The study corridor comprises Main Road, from Belair Road to the Blackwood Roundabout, and Shepherds Hill Road, from the Blackwood Roundabout to Seymour Street.

Since the release of the 2006 edition of the Road Management Plan, we have delivered numerous infrastructure and safety upgrades along the study corridor, including:

• Speed limit reduced to 50kph
• New bicycle lanes and upgraded bicycle infrastructure
• New Pedestrian Actuated Crossing (PAC) near Russell Street New pedestrian refuges
• Upgraded and new mid-block treatments
• Upgrades to intersections along the study corridor
• Upgrades to public transport infrastructure within the area
