Marmion Avenue Safety Review – Karrinyup Road to Ocean Reef Road
Since 2021, Main Roads has been undertaking a review of Marmion Avenue, between Karrinyup Road and Ocean Reef Road, looking into aspects of safety, access and efficiency along this key route.
Between May and July 2021, we undertook a significant round of consultation with the public, resulting in considerable feedback for potential improvements to this stretch of road.
We have been assessing and analysing suitable suggestions, with proposed solutions undergoing thorough consultation with representatives from the Public Transport Authority, and the Cities of Stirling and Joondalup.
Current situation
Main Roads is now seeking a new round of feedback, based on the responses received from 2021. If you are a regular user of this section of Marmion Avenue, we encourage your input to help shape the future of this important route.
Main Roads has now assessed the suitability of four intersections on Marmion Avenue for the installation of traffic signals at:
- Flinders Avenue in Hillarys;
- Seacrest Drive in Sorrento;
- Freeman Way in Marmion; and
- Beach Road in Watermans Bay.
Traffic signals have been selected due to improved efficiency for Marmion Avenue, and safer crossings for pedestrians and cyclists. This approach maintains continuity with the predominant traffic signal approach on this section of Marmion Avenue.
All intersections will include widening to provide additional and extended turning pockets to enhance traffic efficiencies, as well as upgraded and in some cases, new shared path facilities to improve connectivity. Street lighting will also be upgraded to align with current standards.
The traffic signal installation will be accompanied by median closures at McWhae Road, Harman Road and Parnell Road, which is required for the safety of road users in the area.
Proposed improvements have been illustrated (see list of documents on the right hand side of the page). It is recommended to view the graphics attached prior to taking the survey.
