(1) No.
(2) Not applicable
(3)a) The commencement of the Truck Restrictions on Leach Highway and South Street were always conditional upon the completion of the Southern Suburbs Railway. This is because the new rail project is expected to reduce the number of vehicles travelling on Kwinana Freeway, and consequently provide additional capacity to accommodate the extra trucks that will be using Kwinana Freeway between Roe Highway and Leach Highway. The intention was, and still is, to allow traffic patterns on the Kwinana Freeway to settle down for a period of two to three months following completion of the rail project, prior to implementing the truck restrictions.
b) It is anticipated that the truck restrictions will come into effect during the first quarter of 2008. Details on the actual start date will be provided once there is a firm date for the completion of the rail project.
c) refer above
