(f) if so, when will this project be completed?
(c)- (f) Main Roads is currently undertaking a trial of the effectiveness of rumble strips on the approaches to railway crossings. As part of this trial, rumble strips are being installed at 16 passively controlled (ie not signal controlled) crossings on high speed rural roads in the Wheatbelt North and South, and Goldfields – Esperance Regions. To date, rumble strips have been installed at 11 crossings, with the remaining five expected to be completed by 30 June 2003. The outcomes of the trial, which involves before and after traffic studies, will assist in determining the effectiveness of the treatment and its potential application at other sites across the State.
