It is proposed to implement a High Occupancy Vehicle Lane for buses and cars on the Kwinana Freeway northbound carriageway between Leach Highway and the Narrows Bridge. The High Occupancy Vehicle Lane will be introduced as a temporary facility to achieve the following objectives: Provide bus priority whilst maintaining an acceptable level of service for the general motoring public during the final track laying and commissioning phases of the Southern Suburbs Railway project; and Act as a trial for the introduction of high occupancy vehicle lanes within Western Australia. Monitoring the performance of the trial will assist in establishing Government policy on transit lanes.
