Southacre Drive and Goodwood Way - Canning Vale - Urban Road Safety Project

The City of Canning (the City) and Main Roads Western Australia (MRWA) are working collaboratively on a new road safety initiative, the Low-Cost Urban Road Safety Program (URSP), to reduce the likelihood of crashes on local roads across the metropolitan area.

Low-cost road safety treatments will be applied to specific areas or entire streets to improve the safety of local roads and intersections. Our goal is to reduce crashes and create a safer, more enjoyable environment for our community.

What will this project include?

The following treatments and improvements are planned along Southacre Drive and Goodwood Way:

• Raised safety platforms
• Mid-block platforms

These treatments are expected to positively impact speed reduction and crash reduction, while also benefiting the overall amenity of the area.

The primary treatment selection criteria and principles for the URSP include:

• Applying Safe Systems Principles
• Reducing high-casualty and high-risk crashes on local streets
• Proactively reducing vehicle speeds
• Considering activity generators and land use
• Implementing low-cost treatments on an area-wide or whole-street basis
• Maintaining movement for all road users

How will this impact you?

Construction of these treatments is tentatively scheduled for April 2025. Upon completion of these works, the City will apply to MRWA for the installation of new permanent road signs and line markings. MRWA can take approximately two months to install these, so the City will provide interim road signs and line markings.

To facilitate the delivery and construction of this project, some temporary traffic management will be in place, including lane closures and short-term road closures. Specific details of any immediate impacts and disruptions will be communicated directly to affected businesses, residents, and property owners through a separate notification letter.

In addition, parking on the streets will be limited and may be redistributed to surrounding streets. We understand this work may be disruptive to the local community, and some traffic delays may be experienced; however, we will make every effort to communicate any disruptions. Thank you for your patience.

The City welcomes any information or enquiries you may have throughout the roadworks and delivery of this project.
