(d) if so, what is the design of the modifications and subsequent costs; (e) what would be the cost of a flyover bridge at this intersection; (f) does the Government intend constructing a flyover bridge in the near future; and (g) if not, why not?

(b) Main Roads is unaware of the cost of claims received by SGIO, or any other insurance provider, relating to this location. (c)-(d) Yes. Main Roads is undertaking modifications to improve safety at this intersection under the 2004/5 State Black Spot program. These works, estimated to cost in the order of $602 000, will include the following: · the lane configuration on the northern and southern approaches along Mirrabooka Avenue will be realigned to improve sight distance between the two sets of traffic signals on Mirrabooka Avenue at its intersection with Reid Highway. · One of the three lanes in each direction along Mirrabooka Avenue will be turned into right-hand turning pockets onto Reid Highway. · The existing filter system on the right-hand turns at the signals will be eliminated. This will mean that traffic will only be permitted to turn on a green arrow signal rather than allowing it to filter through gaps in the traffic stream. · Anti-skid treatments will be applied to the approaches to Mirrabooka Ave along Reid Hwy improving braking capabilities for all vehicles. These works will be carried out in September of this year. (e) ? (g) The ultimate treatment for this intersection is the construction of a grade separated interchange. The cost of this treatment would be in the order of $10 to $15million and is currently unfunded. This project would need to be considered as part of future State Budget considerations and would need to compete with many other high priority projects across the State.
