Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 782 asked in the Legislative Council on 1 September 2022 by Hon James Hayward

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

FORREST HIGHWAY — ACCELERATION LANES

782. Hon JAMES HAYWARD to the Leader of the House representing the Minister for Transport:

I refer to traffic management at the intersections of Myalup Beach Road and Forrest Highway and Binningup Road and Forrest Highway.

(1) Will the minister consider smart freeway technology or any other technological solution to slow traffic at these dangerous intersections?

(2) If no to (1), why not?

(3) Can the minister provide an update on how the construction of the promised acceleration lanes at these intersections is progressing and advise in which year they are expected to be completed?

Hon SUE ELLERY replied:

(1)–(3) The installation of acceleration lanes is expected to improve traffic flow and safety. Construction of the Binningup Road acceleration lane is expected to commence in mid-2023, with all the acceleration lane works and improvements at Myalup Beach Road completed by mid-2024.
