HIGHWAY — ACCELERATION LANES
782. Hon JAMES HAYWARD to the Leader of the House
representing the Minister for Transport:
I refer to traffic management at the
intersections of Myalup Beach Road and Forrest Highway and Binningup Road and
Forrest Highway.
(1) Will the
minister consider smart freeway technology or any other technological solution
to slow traffic at these dangerous intersections?
(2) If no to (1), why not?
(3) Can the
minister provide an update on how the construction of the promised acceleration
lanes at these intersections is progressing and advise in which year they are
expected to be completed?

AnswerView source ↗

(1)–(3) The
installation of acceleration lanes is expected to improve traffic flow and
safety. Construction of the Binningup Road acceleration lane is expected to
commence in mid-2023, with all the acceleration lane works and improvements at
Myalup Beach Road completed by mid-2024.
