(a)
(i)-(iv) Main Roads has investigated options for a left-hand slip lane; this will not be effective as it fails to address the cause of congestion being the right hand turn movements, this view is supported by traffic modelling. It will also require clearing in addition to the recommended.
This was discussed and supported by the Caves Road Yallingup Roundabout Working Group, at an on-site meeting held on 24 February 2020 with Main Roads.
(b)
(i)-(iii) The Working Group also supported Main Roads progressing design and development work for a roundabout at this location. Costs estimates are currently being finalised.
