(b) in view of the fact that construction of the South-West Metropolitan Railway is already causing significant disruption to road users, and its continuation appears inevitable, when will these developments be implemented?
The actual words contained in the 2004-2005 Budget Statements are: ?New Infrastructure Developments ? Manage traffic impacts of new transport infrastructure developments. It is important that traffic impacts are considered and managed to ensure minimal disruption to road users during construction of projects such as Roe Highway, Tonkin Highway and the New MetroRail project?. This statement refers to the fact that Main Roads will manage the effects of traffic changes that result from new transport infrastructure developments. It does not refer to building ?new infrastructure developments that will minimise disruption to road users? during major construction works. This management is being implemented through the application of a Code of Practice for all parties involved in road works or works impacting on the road network. An example of how the Code of Practice is being put into action can be seen through the management of work practices and the accommodation of changed traffic flows in the vicinity of works on Kwinana Freeway and William Street in Perth associated with the New Metro Rail project. The traffic management requirements of the Code set the standards of roadworks signage to allow motorists to be informed of the changed traffic conditions to ensure safety for motorists and construction workers, ensuring that disruption is kept to a minimum.
