Executive Summary
Arup was appointed by the City of Armadale to prepare a Local Area Traffic
Management (LATM) Plan for the locality of Roleystone in Perth’s foothills. A
LATM plan reviews the current travel patterns and movement network conditions
with the intention of identifying measures to address specific issues. It considers
the needs of pedestrians, cyclists, public transport users and services, emergency
services and private vehicles.
This plan has been informed by site visits, data collection and analysis and
community and stakeholder engagement, undertaken from December 2019
through to February 2020. The plan has been developed to identify and address
the following objectives:
• Enhance pedestrian, cyclist and general traffic safety within the area, while
maintaining and improving access
• Provide for the safe integration of pedestrian and bicycle facilities into
traffic calming measures
• Discourage the use of local roads by through-traffic and encourage the
utilisation of the State and Regional roads while maintaining access for
local road users
• Enhance residential amenity and liveability while maintaining appropriate
traffic access for residents to local activity generators.
Roleystone comprises a mix of low-density residential, bushland and tourism/
recreation land uses. Key land uses include Roleystone Community College, the
town centre, Araluen Botanic Park and Araluen Golf Resort. Roleystone also
hosts an outdoor marketplace at Cross Park (within the suburb’s activity centre)
on a quarterly basis.
The road network comprises mostly access roads and local distributors. Regional
travel is provided by Brookton Highway, which is under the care and control of
Main Roads Western Australia.
The rolling terrain and semi-rural/ bushland setting means that there are many
winding roads and roads with steep terrain. This creates some challenges to safe
movement such as limited forward and approach sight distance, heavily vegetated
clear zones along roadsides that restrict sight lines and steep terrain making access
for buses, heavy vehicles, walking and cycling very difficult in some locations.
Traffic analysis was undertaken to understand if high traffic speeds and/ or
inappropriately high traffic volumes were being recorded on roads throughout the
study area. The analysis indicated that speeding is an issue on regional and local
distributor roads as well as on more local access roads. A review of traffic
volumes highlighted that there were very few locations where traffic volumes
exceeded the capacity threshold of the street (according to the MRWA Road
Hierarchy).

A review of recorded crashes for the last five years, show a spread of crashes
across the study area on all types of roads from local access streets to Brookton
Highway. 44% of recorded crashes involved rear-end, right-angle and right turn
crashes. Commonly these types of crashes are caused by sudden stops and
vehicles turning out onto traffic unpredictably. 43% of reported crashes involved a
single vehicle hitting an object (bushes and trees most commonly) or running off
the road.
There are limited dedicated off-road cycling routes in Roleystone with the
exception of bicycle lanes along Brookton Highway and some shared paths in the
town centre and around the Roleystone Community College. The existing network
has gaps and does not offer cyclists a connected network. Local access streets and
local distributors in many cases offer a good riding environment, however due to
topography in some locations, sight distance for motorists to see approaching
cyclists can sometimes be restricted.
Roleystone’s pedestrian network is limited and offers little dedicated
thoroughfares for pedestrians. Many local access roads do not have footpaths but
the absence of this infrastructure and hard surfaces does help to contribute to the
natural, bushland character of Roleystone. For those local roads that do have
footpaths, it is typically only on one side of the road. The network is not
conducive to support walking as a travel mode due to its disconnectedness and
limited reach.
The area is serviced by Transperth service 241 which connects Roleystone with
Kelmscott Rail Station, via Brookton Highway. The existing public transport
network is limited and segregated by Brookton Highway creating large service
gaps, particularly for the north-eastern and southern portions of the study area.
Transperth has advised that they have no plans to increase service coverage or
frequency in Roleystone due to low patronage levels.
Community consultation was undertaken through the use of an online, interactive
map which was available for public comment on the City’s website between
November 28, 2019 and February 14, 2020 and promoted through the City’s
website and social media posts.
Within the online tool, users were able to flag a concern by selecting a location on
a map and leaving a themed comment. A total of 155 comments were raised
through this forum in addition to stakeholder feedback, written feedback and
comments raised at a community forum.
The key issues addressed by the LATM Plan are summarised in Table 1. Each
location has been assessed and recommendations depicted and explained in
Section 7 of this report.

In most cases the treatments are within jurisdiction of the City of Armadale to
implement but require support from key stakeholders particularly with regard to:
• Provision of additional drop off and pick up facilities at Roleystone College,
especially an additional PUDO facility on Brooks Road (which would be
located on the college grounds)
• Recommended changes to Brookton Highway at the intersection with Peet
Road to address speeding, the crash record and sight distance restrictions
require support from Main Roads WA
• The supply of improved bus stops including shelters in higher use locations
along route 241 (Peet Road in particular) are to be agreed with Transperth
• Works within the Roleystone Town Centre need buy-in from local businesses
so that that implementation could be timed and staged to minimise disruption.

1 Introduction
Arup was appointed by the City of Armadale to prepare a Local Area Traffic
Management (LATM) plan for the locality of Roleystone, within the Perth
foothills. LATM is an increasing issue facing local government areas, yet also
poses opportunities to improve street safety and encourage walking and cycling
for people of all abilities.
This need has sparked a rethink of how streets are designed and managed, with the
general purpose to slow vehicular speeds and to reinforce the functional road
hierarchy by discouraging through-traffic running in local streets. Traditionally,
LATM plans, and the treatments they recommend, have revolved around these
typical private vehicle objectives and have failed to address the needs of
pedestrians and cyclists. However, as the plan suggests, there is a duty for LATM
treatments to address ‘local’ issues and fit the context as much as possible. This
Roleystone LATM study is an opportunity to rectify this, proposing measures that
consider all modes of transport on the network, improving safety and encouraging
higher volumes of cycling and pedestrian activity by increasing access.
This plan has been informed by site visits, data collection and analysis and
community and stakeholder engagement, undertaken from December 2019
through to February 2020. The plan has been developed to identify and address
the following:
• Enhance pedestrian, cyclist and general traffic safety within the area while
maintaining and improving access
• Provide for the safe integration of pedestrian and bicycle facilities into
traffic calming measures
• Discourage the use of local roads by through-traffic and encourage the
utilisation of the State and Regional roads while maintaining access for
local road users
• Enhance residential amenity and liveability while maintaining appropriate
traffic access for residents to local activity generators.
This draft plan will be circulated to stakeholders and the community for comment
before being finalised.
1.1 Study Area
The study area comprises the whole extent of the Roleystone locality as depicted
in Figure 1. Situated northeast of the Armadale Activity Centre and in the foothills
of the Darling Range, the study area encompasses a mix of residential, bushland
tourism / recreation land uses. Given a diverse mix of land uses, Roleystone
continues to attract a range of traffic modes all with varying requirements and
dependencies of the network. Further information regarding the study area’s
existing condition is provided in Section 2.

2 Existing Conditions
This section of the report gives an overview of the existing transport conditions
within the study area.
2.1 Land Uses and Environment
As stated in Section 1.1, the suburb of Roleystone comprises a mix of residential,
bushland and tourism / recreation land uses. Dominated primarily by low density
residential housing, the Roleystone area comprises roughly 2,600 dwellings, with
a population of approximately 6,600 people (ABS Census Data, 2016). Since
2011, the population has grown slowly, at a rate of 0.2%pa (ABS Census Data,
2011-2016).
Key land use anchors within Roleystone include Roleystone Community College,
Town Centre, Araluen Botanic Park and Araluen Golf Resort. Roleystone also
hosts an outdoor marketplace at Cross Park (within the suburb’s activity centre)
on a quarterly basis.
2.2 Road Network
2.2.1 Road hierarchy
The existing road hierarchy within the study area is shown in Figure 3, bounded
partly by major roads, namely Chevin Road in the north, Canning Mills Road in
the west, and Croyden Road in the southeast. Running east-west through the
middle of the study area is Brookton Highway, which is a Primary Distributor
providing both local access for Roleystone residents and a through-route for
vehicles through the Perth Hills to Brookton and beyond. Other roads within the
study area are classified as either Local Distributor Roads and Access Roads.
All roads within the study area are under the care and control of the City, except
for Brookton Highway which is the responsibility of Main Roads WA.

2.2.2 Road speeds
Posted speed limits within the study area are shown in Figure 4. As indicated,
most internal roads currently have a posted speed limit of 50kph, with a number of
Local Distributor roads exhibiting a 60kph posted speed limit. Canning Mills
Road, Soldiers Road and Brockway Road towards the outer boundaries of the
study area, as well as Brookton Highway (south of Irymple Drive), all exhibit a
70kph speed limit within the study area. The sign posted speed limit on Brookton
Highway increases to 90km/h just south of Irymple Drive. Unlike other Regional
Distributor roads such as Canning Mills Road (south of Buchanan Road) and
Croyden Road, which have a posted speed limit of 60kph, Chevin Road currently
has a posted speed limit of 80kph.

This is not however an accurate representation of recorded speeds on the rural
roads, with several roads in Roleystone recording 85th percentile speeds between
4kph to 10kph above the speed limit. Table 2 shows 85th percentile speeds
recorded against the posted speed limit. The 85th percentile means that at least
15% of all traffic are travelling in excess of this speed.
As shown, the highest 85th percentile speed was recorded on access road Coventry
Road, north of Urch Road, with 15% of vehicles travelling at or above an
excessive 23kph over the speed limit. The 85th percentile speeds recorded on the
sections of Brookton Highway with the 70kph limit were marginally higher than
the limit.
Speeding was also evident on most Regional Distributor and Local Distributor
roads in Chevin Road, Croyden Road, Soldiers Road, Urch Road and Peet Road,
with 85th percentile speeds exceeding the speed limit by 7kph to 14kph. In
addition, speeding has also been recorded on Brooks Road in close proximity to
the college, with 85th percentile speeds exceeding the speed limit by 7kph.
It has been advised from the City that the temporary installation of electronic
speed signs on Soldiers Road and Urch Road is currently being arranged in an
attempt to assess its effectiveness at lowering vehicle speeds.

Table 4 shows that most roads are carrying volumes within acceptable limits
according to the MRWA Functional Road Hierarchy. Again, this indicates that
through running of traffic in Roleystone is not a key issue to be addressed in the
LATM Plan. The exception is Wygonda Road, which is approximately 10%
higher which demonstrates that it is a key east-west link to the town centre.
The road carrying the highest daily traffic volume within the study area is
Brookton Highway, carrying up to 7,320 daily vehicles on the western boundary
in 2019 (Main Roads WA Traffic Digest, 2019). This number decreases to 2,780
daily vehicles (AWT) at the eastern boundary of the study area with traffic
originating/ destined for Roleystone not present at this point of the network.
Despite the relatively high decrease in daily traffic through the study area,
Brookton Highway carries a relatively high proportion of up to 11.5% heavy
vehicle traffic throughout the study area.
Chevin Road has been recognized as another high-volume distributor, providing
east-west access for an average of 4,800 daily vehicles (AWT) on the northern
boundary of the study area. It has been identified as a popular route for vehicles
accessing Peet Road from the east or west, and Brookton Highway from the west,
but also to the Roleystone Community College, due to its high posted speed limit
and straight, direct alignment.
The Local Distributor of Peet Road currently experiences traffic volumes of
3,900vpd and 2,400vpd (AWT) on its southern and northern ends respectively. It
is a central north-south through-route between Chevin Road and Brookton
Highway that services a high volume of residential dwellings while also providing
access to the Roleystone Town Centre via Stonegate Road.
Jarrah Road carries a notable traffic volume at 2,300 daily vehicles (AWT) but
this is within the acceptable capacity threshold of an access road.
In addition, the City undertook vehicle and pedestrian peak period volume counts
within the Roleystone Town Centre, at the flat-top road hump situated on Jarrah
Road between Wygonda Road and the shop’s carpark north-western entrance/
exit. Results are shown in Table 4.

2.3 Active transport
A map of the existing active transport network within the study area is shown in
Figure 6. Due to Roleystone’s bushland environment, undulating landscape and
low-density development, its cycling and walking network is highly fragmented,
offering little dedicated infrastructure and cross-suburb connectivity to cyclists
and pedestrians.

2.3.1 Cycling network
As shown in Figure 6, on-road provisions for cyclists (in the form of line-marked
shoulders) exist on the shoulders of Brookton Highway, however are currently
unprotected from vehicle traffic in either direction. Holden Road and Peet Road
form the key north-south linkages and are classified by the Department of
Transport as ‘good road riding environments’. The Peet Road classification
however does not apply to the section between Urch Road and Brookton
Highway, leaving a gap in the network. Steep terrain is experienced along notable
sections of both roads. In the east-west direction, the principal routes are Raeburn
Road (classified as both a good cycling environment and has a shared path as
shown in Figure 7), Chevin Road and Brookton Highway.
Figure 7 – Raeburn Road (left) / Peet Rd (right) shared path (Photo captured during site
visit, November 2019)
Within the balance of the study area, cycling infrastructure is limited to shared
cycle / pedestrian paths around the Town Centre on Wygonda Road, Jarrah Road
and Hall Road. In addition, shared cycle / pedestrian paths currently exist around
the Roleystone Community College on Raeburn Road, Rubida Rise, Caprea
Boulevard and part of Brooks Road.
In many suburbs, local streets are designated as ‘good’ cycling environments. This
sees cyclists sharing traffic lanes with other road users in the absence of dedicated
cycling infrastructure. While the Roleystone network comprises local distributors
and access roads, the steep gradients and curved alignments along sections of
these roads makes forward sight distance to cyclists riding kerbside very limited.
This can pose a safety issue to cyclists.
The Department of Transport has been working with local governments across
metropolitan Perth to develop the Long-Term Cycling Network (LTCN). It is
understood that a Draft Plan will be available in late 2020 however the DoT has
advised that for Roleystone, the network is anticipated to include Raeburn Road
and Westbourne Road (between Brookton Highway and Holden Road), Heather
Road, Wygonda Road (between Holden Road and Jarrah Road), Jarrah Road
(between Heather Road and Wygonda Road) and Holden Road (between Raeburn

Road and Brookton Highway). Despite the LTCN being an aspirational long-term
plan that does not assume committed funding from State or local government, the
aspirational network identified by the DoT and CoA is a good starting point to
identifying and developing capital upgrades and improvements in addressing
network gaps.
2.3.2 Walking network
Roleystone’s pedestrian network is limited and offers little dedicated
thoroughfares for pedestrians. Many local access roads do not have footpaths. For
those that do have footpaths, it is typically only on one side of the road. For
instance, Peet Road being a main thoroughfare for buses travelling northbound,
lacks a footpath alongside the northbound traffic lane, offering little pedestrian
amenity for boarding and alighting passengers (Figure 8).
Figure 8 – Lack of pedestrian infrastructure for public transport users alongside
northbound traffic lane of Peet Road (Photo captured during site visit, November 2019)
In addition, there is a lack of a continuous network with the limited provisions
generally centred around the town centre and the Roleystone Community College.
On the approach to the town centre shown by Figure 9, there is a lack of all
pedestrian infrastructure on Wygonda Road, which is used as a pedestrian route
for residents west of Madew Street. North of the school shown by Figure 10,
disconnectedness of the pedestrian infrastructure is apparent on the eastern side of
Brooks Road to Salicina Gardens. The network is not conducive to supporting
walking as a travel mode due to its disconnectedness and limited reach with its
primary function to link car parking areas with key trip attractors such as the
school and town centre.

While some of the community may challenge that a proliferation of footpaths on
both sides of local roads would diminish the bushland character of Roleystone,
there is a need to address key gaps in the network in order to encourage walking
as a travel mode and make it safer.
2.4 Public transport network and facilities
A map of the existing Public Transport network within the study area is shown in
Figure 11.

Kelmscott Station is the closest train station to Roleystone, located roughly 2.5km
in road distance from the western boundary of the study area. From there, a
journey to the Perth CBD would take approximately 36-minutes during the AM
peak hour (Google Maps, 2020) via rail on the Armadale Line. To Kelmscott
Station from the Roleystone town centre at this time would take approximately
29-minutes using the 241 bus route service.
Bus route 241 originates from Kelmscott Station and accesses Roleystone via
Brookton Highway, traversing a limited section of the study area to the north of
Brookton Highway via Peet Road, Valley View Road and Westbourne Road,
terminating at Urch Road, east of Barnes Road. This service runs 7 days a week,
from 6am – 7:40pm on weekdays with 24 daily services, 7am – 6:40pm on
Saturdays with 8 daily services and 8:20am – 6:40pm on Sundays with 6 daily
services. The frequency of the 241 service is 4 buses per hour in the peak hours
and 1 bus per hour during the inter-peak period.
In addition, the 729 Special School service operates once a day at 3:10pm
between the Roleystone Community College and Canning Mills Road via
Coventry Road, Urch Road, Peet Road and Raeburn Road.
As shown in Figure 11, the existing public transport network is limited and
segregated by Brookton Highway creating large service gaps, particularly for the
north-eastern and southern portions of the study area. As discussed later in this
document, Transperth has advised that they have no plans to increase service
coverage or frequency in Roleystone (refer to Section 4). This is due to low
patronage levels as a result of the low density residential development.
2.5 Crash record
Crash data for the five-year period between 1st January 2014 and 31st December
2018 was provided by the City and analysed for the study area. A map showing
the locations of crashes and degree of significance is provided in Figure 13, while
a map showing the type of crash is provided in Figure 13. As shown, crashes are
concentrated within the built-up residential areas of Roleystone, while also
recorded along major movement corridors in Brookton Highway, Chevin Road
and Peet Road concentrated at intersections.

As shown in Figure 13 and summarised in Table 6, 43% of crashes involved
single vehicles with objects or non-collisions, usually involving vehicles running
off the road or hitting vegetation such as bushes and trees. This was most evident
on Chevin Road, Soldiers Road and Croyden Road. Of remaining crashes
involving vehicles, 44% involved rear-end, right-angle and right turn crashes.
Commonly these types of crashes are caused by sudden stops and vehicles turning
out onto traffic unpredictably. As shown, crashes involving other vehicles have
been highly concentrated at particular intersections along Brookton Highway
(Soldiers Road, Peet Road, Croyden Road and Holden Road) and Chevin Road
(Holden Road and Peet Road).
It should also be noted that the data provided only includes records of crashes that
were reported to emergency services and do not include crashes that were settled
privately or otherwise left unreported. As stated in later sections, it is clear that
this data likely underrepresents the actual crash history of Roleystone, with many
minor incidents and near-misses unreported.

3 Site inspection
As part of the process in gaining a contextual understanding of the Roleystone
study area and determining existing key issues, a site inspection was carried out
by Arup and accompanied by a representative from the City on November 18,
2019.
3.1 Study area coverage
A high proportion of roads within the study area have been reviewed and
traversed by the site inspection team as part of the study by vehicle, with notable
walking locations investigated further on-foot. Figure 14 shows locations that
were reviewed during the site inspection.

Given the vast size of the study area and presence of lower-order, predominantly
local-access vehicle only roads, a small number of roads were left out of the site
inspection.
The following key principles were considered with regard to network transport
safety:
• Existing provision, constraints and opportunities for each transport mode
(pedestrians, cyclists, public transport users, passenger and heavy vehicles)
• Safety concerns and protection opportunities for active and public transport
users, with high consideration to school children
• Sightlines at key intersections, identifying hazardous locations for both
vehicles and pedestrians / cyclists
• Review of signs and linemarking
• On-street and off-street parking provisions
• Speed limits and driver behaviour (relative to the time of the inspection)
• Physical signs of ‘hooning’ behaviour.
3.2 Findings
Key findings from the site inspection and preliminary considerations to be
addressed as part of this LATM plan have been summarised in Table 7.

4 Initial Stakeholder Consultation
A two-phased stakeholder consultation process has been designed for this project.
The first round of consultation is aimed at understanding existing transport
conditions and any planned / committed changes to the transport network that
should be considered in the preparation of this LATM plan. A proforma was used
to provide context and solicit feedback in a consistent manner, a copy is provided
in Appendix A.
The feedback from the first round of consultation is summarised in Table 8.
Table 8 – Preliminary (Round 1) Stakeholder Comments
Stakeholder Preliminary views to be considered in the LATM Plan
Transperth • Localised congestion around Roleystone community college
delaying bus services
• Low residential density means that servicing Roleystone by
public transport is a low priority for Transperth. There are no
plans to increase bus services in the future
• The 241 service has low and decreasing patronage. Service
changes to the 729 school bus service were implemented in
early 2020 (truncating the service at Canning Mills Road).
Roleystone Community
College
• Insufficient parking on site affecting drop off and pick up and
school start/ finish times
• Brooks Road - insufficient parking supply, queueing through
roundabout with Caprea Boulevard, traffic queues on approach
to kiss and drop, delays for buses (and noted that buses would
be better located in Raeburn Rd)
• Raeburn Road insufficient parking supply
• Salicina Gardens/ Brooks Road intersection - poor sight lines
due to cars parking on verges
• Lack of continuous footpaths (parents not allowing students to
walk to school)
• Problems have been getting worse for the last 3 years with the
school continuing to grow.
Main Roads WA • Brookton Hwy is a State Road and under the control of Main
Roads WA
• Current planning and the MRS makes provision for the future
duplication of Brookton Highway through this area
• Existing traffic volumes along this section of Brookton
Highway vary from just under 7,000vpd west of Croyden Road
to just over 2,500vpd west of Ferguson Road. Future traffic

projections do not indicate any major traffic growth suggesting
that duplication will not be required until the longer term
• MRWA is not aware of any current traffic issues/problems
along this section of Brookton Hwy and Traffic Services has
not identified any short-term projects planned in the area
• Any proposed treatments will need to consider what if any
impact they may have on the side road intersections with
Brookton Highway.
Department of Transport The Department, in consultation with the City of Armadale, a
Long-Term Cycling Network (LTCN) for metropolitan Perth (all
33 local government areas). This has identified a network in
Roleystone. The DoT has highlighted that LATM treatments
identified for these routes need to ensure that barriers to cycling are
not imposed by a LATM scheme and should consider ways of
optimising the street for active modes. Potentially, streets which are
not currently part of the LTCN may become more attractive for
active travel after the implementation of LATM treatments.
The DoT is also preparing Cycling Guidance for Local Area Traffic
Management Schemes. The draft document reinforces that LATM
schemes need to be carefully designed with cyclists in mind and in
particular must reinforce the bicycle width envelope and must
consider whether cyclists are likely to be riding kerbside
(secondary position) or central to the lane (primary position).
While approached, no comments have been received from WA Police or the
Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage.
The draft LATM plan will be circulated to stakeholders for comment.

5 Community Engagement
Phase One of community consultation commenced immediately after project
inception and concluded on Friday 14th February. The following section outlines
the methodology of the consultation process and the resulting key issues to be
examined as part of the LATM plan preparation.
5.1.1 Process
The first phase of community consultation was undertaken via several methods,
including meeting with local residents / business groups in a face-to-face session,
written submissions to the City, social media posts and an online engagement tool
accessed through the City’s website. This first phase therefore aided in
determining the current context of transport issues impacting the study area.
5.1.1.1 Online engagement tool
The most effective form of consultation was found to be the online engagement
tool, which was available for public comment on the City’s website between
November 28, 2019 and February 14, 2020 and promoted through the City’s
website and social media posts.
Within the online tool, users were able to flag a concern by selecting a location on
a map and leaving a themed comment. In addition, users could agree and promote
each other’s concerns by leaving an ‘up vote’ which aided in indicating which
concerns were considered more popular overall. A visual representation of the
tool is shown in Figure 15.

Page 37
During the period in which the tool was online and publicly available, 132
comments were received in total from 994 individual site visits from 328 different
users.
5.1.1.2 Community engagement forum
On Wednesday 5th February, the City, in collaboration with Arup, hosted a
community engagement ‘drop-in’ forum to gather remaining concerns from
Roleystone residents and business groups. Those who attended the session were
given a brief description of the study purpose and a summary of identified
findings thus far (including from site inspections and accumulated findings from
the online consultation tool to date), while hearing directly from the public their
ideas and concerns regarding local area traffic management and safety.
Despite not attracting a great number of community members and/or stakeholders,
it was discovered that the majority of those who attended the session were
unaware of the online consultation tool, indicating that the online tool was
successful in capturing a high catchment of stakeholders whom it would appear
did not deem it necessary to attend a consultation session in person.
5.1.1.3 Other methods
Other written stakeholder concerns were communicated with the City (and
subsequently shared with Arup) via email, letter and / or social media posts.
5.1.2 Key community concerns
Within the available timeframe, the stakeholder consultation process received a
total of 155 comments from a combination of the online engagement tool,
community engagement forum and various other methods. These have been
categorised below in Table 9. As indicated, a high concentration of received
comments related to the condition of road infrastructure and parking supply, as
well as the existing environment for pedestrian amenity and safety. Traffic
congestion and traffic speeds were also referenced to in moderate numbers, with
public transport, hooning, cycling and community facility concerns in less
concentrated numbers.

As shown in Figure 16, community concerns were focussed heavily around:
• The Roleystone town centre
• Roleystone Community College
• Peet Road, south of Urch Road.
This is likely due to these areas being locations of high activity from vehicles,
cycle and pedestrian traffic, but also due to observed crash data as well as public
concerns regarding vehicle congestion, parking supply and pedestrian safety.
A register of all comments received from the community via each consultation
method has been provided in Appendix B.

As indicated above, the major concerns for Roleystone residents and business
groups were in reference to the existing environment offered for pedestrians and
cyclists, speeding, road maintenance / access and parking supply. Concentrated in
locations with high activity by vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians, these concerns
raise a need for the implementation of LATM measures in order to ensure safety
for Roleystone residents and its visitors, as well as improving overall access and
connectivity.

6 Key Issues
Key transport issues evident throughout the study area have been identified
through physical on-site inspections, desktop data analysis, stakeholder
consultation and both the online and face-to-face community consultation
processes.
Commonly, LATM plans are aimed at addressing through traffic using local
streets in order to improve travel time or to avoid congestion compared to travel
times on nearby/ adjacent arterial roads. This issue has not been identified as an
issue currently experienced in Roleystone.
This section will outline key issues identified within the study area as determined
by the study.
6.1 Summary
A summary of key issues, including the source for concern, location and brief
description is shown in Table 11. It provides an overview of where LATM
measures are recommended to be implemented and for which issue they are aimed
at addressing. Further information about each location has been provided in this

6.2 Areas of greatest concern in Roleystone
As a result of the community consultation phase one and further investigations,
three key areas were identified as major concerns for the residents of Roleystone.
These are shown in Figure 16 and are namely:
• The Roleystone town centre
• Roleystone Community College
• Peet Road, south of Urch Road.
6.2.1 Roleystone Community College
Roleystone Community College can be accessed from Brooks Road and Raeburn
Road. Brooks Road is an access road whereas Raeburn Road is a local distributor.
A small pick-up and drop off facility is located off Brooks Road with access
limited to left in and left out. There is a 24-bay car park that is signposted for use
for kindergarten and pre-primary parents/ guardians only. There are also on-street,
parallel parking bays located on the eastern side of Brooks Road between Raeburn
Road and Caprea Boulevard.
The College currently holds the highest number of enrolments for children within
the study area. In effect, the school is arguably the most accessed destination in
Roleystone on a Monday to Friday basis up to twice a day for pick up/ drop off.
Currently, key issues are concentrated in this area (Figure 17) and include a lack
of parking supply/ (pick up and drop off) PUDO supply and congestion on Brooks
Road.
The campus was originally a high school campus and the primary school
(including kindergarten) was subsequently added but with only minimal changes
to the infrastructure on the campus. The drop off and drop off needs for a primary
school are very different to those of a high school. Students attending
kindergarten, pre-primary and for the early stages of Year 1, need to be picked up
and dropped off directly at the classroom by a supervising adult/ parent/ guardian.
This adds significant parking demands which have not been adequately cater for
within or surrounding the campus. Primary school children in early years
(kindergarten to year 1) are also less likely to cycle, walk or catch the bus to
school.
The crash statistics for the area surrounding the school (refer to Figure 12) shows
that there have been two major property crashes recorded. The school records all
near-misses and has raised concerns about vehicles parking and manoeuvring over
pedestrian footpaths and parking in a manner that obstructs sight lines to
pedestrians.

Key issues identified within the surrounding the Community College are
summarised in Table 12.
Table 12 – Roleystone Community College key issues
Key issue Description
Pick-up/
Drop-off
facilities
Following community consultation and affirmed by the physical site inspection,
the current arrangement of the sole PUDO facility, which is located off Brooks
Road between Wygonda Road and Caprea Boulevard, does not meet current
demand, causing excessive queuing onto Brooks Road. A product of this queuing
is the reported halt in traffic flow from the PUDO facility, through the Caprea
Boulevard roundabout and towards Chevin Road.
In addition, the left-in/ left-out arrangement results in circuitous access.
Parking
supply
Current parking facilities are deemed adequate for staff and visitors to the college
given a lack of concern for the staff/ visitor parking facilities. The lack of parking
supply for parents/ guardians however has been raised as a major concern for the
college, brought on by an underutilisation of current parking on Raeburn Road, a
lack of parking supply on Brooks Road and an overflow parking onto Salicina
Gardens.

6.2.2 Roleystone town centre
The Roleystone Town Centre is centred on Jarrah Road, north of Wygonda Road.
These access roads carry an AWT of 2,300vpd and 3,300vpd; respectively. A
review of the five year crash data shows that there have been seven crashes
recorded along or in close proximity to Jarrah Road between Wygonda Road and
Tyers Road. Majority of these crashes have resulted in major property damage.
There are parallel, embayed parking bays on Jarrah Road at its southern end, on
both eastern and western sides.
Key issues raised by the community are concentrated in this area (Figure 18) and
focus on pedestrian/ cycling infrastructure provisions/ safety and parking supply,
particularly on marketplace days.
Figure 18 – Roleystone town centre issue hotspot
Key issues identified within the Roleystone town centre are shown in Table 13.
Table 13 – Roleystone town centre key issues
Key issue Description
Pedestrian
amenity
Current pedestrian infrastructure provisions are not conducive of a network that
encourages or supports the growth of active transport within, or to and from, the
town centre. This is in regard to the provision of sidewalks/ shared paths and safe
crossing points within the vicinity of the town centre. As described in Section
2.3.2, current provisions on Wygonda Road only serve pedestrians accessing the
town centre from the intersection with Madew Street, under 200m from the town
centre. Pedestrians west of Madew Street are subsequently forced to walk on the
road alongside traffic, amongst the vegetation on the southern side of the road or
along driveways and front verges of private properties on the northern side of the
road.
In addition, the existing raised treatment at the entrance to the IGA, located
between Wygonda Road and the north western (IGA) carpark entry, is regarded
confusing to vehicles and pedestrians, as it is unclear who has right of way.

Page 46
Parking
supply
Community members raised concerns about low parking supply to service the
numerous sporting and recreational facilities in Cross park. This issue is
exacerbated on market days which occur monthly. Currently, allocated parking
for marketplace days is facilitated in the gravel car park off Wygonda Road and
the sealed sporting club carpark. An excess of demand for parking on marketplace
days sees parking overflow onto Madew Street, frequently blocking access for
residents to their private properties.
The gravel car park off Wygonda is not formalised. The gravel surface is in poor
state or repair and while not evidenced at the site visit, it is expected that there
would be pot holes after wet weather. Parking is taking place informally including
in tree root zones and there is a lack of DDA compliant parking bays and
pedestrian access.
Car parking for the sporting facilities is disjointed and lacks supply on weekends
and there is no DDA compliant parking. Parking for tennis and football clubs
includes blind aisles where there are no means for vehicles to turn around if all
parking bays are fully utilised (which requires motorists to reverse out).
Hooning Concerns of hooning have been raised within the Cross Park car park off
Wygonda Road and the sporting facility carpark located off Jarrah Road. Not only
does anti-social behaviour have an impact on the overall vibrancy of the town
centre, but also leads to noise pollution, a reduction in safety and an increased
risk of damage to public property.

6.2.3 Peet Road south of Urch Road
The southern section of Peet Road between Urch Road and Brookton Highway is
currently a winding road made up of multiple intersections. Through community
consultation, multiple concerns have been raised in this area (Figure 19) in regard
to crash history, speeding and sightline issues at the intersection with Brookton
Highway.
Peet Road is a local distributor road with a sign posted limit of 60km/h. The
Transperth 241 bus services also operates along this section of road.
Figure 19 – Peet Road south of Urch Road issue hotspot
Key issues identified within the Roleystone town centre are shown in Table 14.
Table 14 – Peet Road south of Urch Road key issues
Key issue Description
Crash
history
Crash records provided by the City show a total of five reported crashes on the
southern section of Peet Road. The nature of these crashes is diverse, ranging
from non-collision (run-off road), hit object and rear end, resulting in only minor
to major property damage.
Despite these reported crashes, community consultation has raised concern for far
more crashes and near misses on this segment of road, with up to 11 community
reports in the past 4 years. Common to a rural suburb such as Roleystone, this
eludes to the fact that there are crashes unreported. This is likely due to crashes
resulting in only minor damage, a lack of witnesses on the scene or that crashes
have otherwise been settled privately.
Speeding Following a review of traffic count data as provided by the City, it is confirmed
that community concerns regarding speeding is apparent. Particularly between
Mann Place and Mackie Road, an 85th percentile speed statistic of 64kph was

recorded, above the posted speed limit of 60kph. It was also recorded that 5% of
vehicles were travelling at or above 69kph at the time of record.
Community concerns were also made regarding pedestrians attempting to cross
Peet Road from the east and cross Brookton Highway from the south and
speeding cars in both directions creating an unsafe environment for pedestrians.
Sightlines Community concern regarding the sightlines offered at the Peet Road/ Brookton
Highway has been raised on multiple occasions as a cause for crashes. Of the
three crashes which have been reported (impact on right angle, rear end and while
attempting a right-hand turn) minor damage was a result and those involved did
not require medical attention. However, alike the segment of Peet Road north of
the intersection, it has been raised that many crashes and near misses caused by
unaware motorists entering Brookton Highway from Peet Road are left
unreported. The recorded 85th percentile speed on this section of Brookton
Highway are in excess of the signposted limit.

6.3 Other road and intersection concerns
6.3.1 Chevin Road
Chevin Road is currently a predominantly straight corridor with multiple
intersections, aligned by dense vegetation on either side of the unsealed shoulders.
It is classified as a regional distributor road and has a signposted speed limit of
80km/h. Following a desktop review of data, site visit and community
consultation, multiple concerns have been raised along the corridor associated
with speeding, crash history, sightlines, road maintenance and pedestrian safety.
Key issues identified on Chevin Road are shown in Table 15.
Table 15 – Chevin Road key issues
Key issue Description
Speeding A review of traffic count data as provided by the City, has confirmed
community concerns regarding speeding along Chevin Road. Particularly for
segments of the road west of Peet Road and east of Holden Road, 85th percentile
speeds of up to 87kph were recorded, exceeding the posted speed limit of 80kph.
Crash
history
Crash records provided by the City show a history of various severities and
types of crashes ranging from single vehicle/ object collisions and vehicle/
vehicle collisions resulting in damage to property and required medical
attention. A total of 13 crashes have been recorded, with a clustering around the
Peet and Holden Road intersections.
Sightlines Multiple concerns of sightline issues at key intersections along Chevin Road
have been highlighted during community consultation. These have been tested in
AutoCAD considering 85th percentile speeds and have confirmed sightline issues
at the Chevin Road/ Peet Road intersection, in relation to the dense vegetation
encroaching on the road reserve on the western corner of Peet Road. Figure 20
shows the sightline investigation, confirming issues looking east from Peet Road
onto Chevin Road.

Road
maintenance
Throughout the community consultation phase and verified by the site visit,
multiple concerns have been raised regarding the current condition of Chevin
Road from a road maintenance point of view. Vegetation encroaching into the
road clear zone, frequent vegetation debris and deep water puddles following
rain/ storm events and fauna entering the road reserve have all been recorded as
key issues.
Pedestrian
safety
Chevin Road has been used as a direct route for school children accessing the
college twice a day from west of Brooks Road and north of Raeburn Road.
Concerns from the community have been raised and recorded with respect to the
lack of pedestrian infrastructure provided on Chevin Road. In combination with
records of speeding vehicles and crashes, Chevin Road is an unfriendly
pedestrian environment with no dedicated pedestrian facilities.

6.3.2 Coventry Road
Coventry Road has a straight alignment with unsealed shoulders, providing a
through-route for vehicles accessing Urch Road in the south and Chevin Road in
the north. Following community consultation and an analysis of traffic data,
Coventry Road has been identified as a key issue corridor in regard to speeding.
Key issues identified on Coventry Road are shown in Table 16.
Table 16 – Coventry Road key issues
Key issue Description
Through-
traffic
Connecting between Chevin Road and Urch Road, Coventry Road carries higher
traffic volumes than surrounding access roads. The recorded volume however is
within acceptable thresholds for an access road. The community has a
perception that it is a through route however this issue is most likely exacerbated
by speeding as outlined below.
Speeding Traffic count data as provided by the City supports community concerns of
speeding along Chevin Road. Given a posted speed limit of 50kph is in place, an
85th percentile speed of 73kph has been recorded, well in excess of the speed
limit. Community feedback has highlighted that there have been numerous near
misses and unreported crashes.
Hooning Community consultation has raised concerns over frequent hooning and other
anti-social behaviour occurring on Coventry Road. The straight road alignment
and low residential density (and poor passive surveillance) are likely to be key
factors in creating an environment conducive to hoon behaviour.

6.4 Wider network issues
6.4.1 Speeding
As reported in Section 2.2.2, the following locations have had speeds recorded
that exceed the signposted speed limit by 10% or more:
• Croyden Road
• Mackie Road
• Soldiers Road
• Urch Road
• Coventry Road
• Brooks Road
• Peet Road.
Speeding on Brooks Road and Peet Road have been addressed in Sections 7.1.1
and 7.1.3; respectively. With the exception of Croyden Road, there is only a single
traffic count record for these locations, making it difficult to draw conclusions.
However in cross referencing this data with the reports of speeding raised through
the community consultation shows that Coventry Road, Urch Road and Soldiers
Road are areas where speeding needs to be addressed (refer to Figure 21).
Figure 21 - Community Consultation feedback hotspots for speeding
6.4.2 Road maintenance
Given Roleystone’s rural nature and relatively low traffic in comparison to
metropolitan Perth, community concerns about the condition of the road network

has been raised. Some road maintenance issues were observed during the site
visit. Key issues include vegetation encroaching onto the road reserve, faded or
incomplete linemarking, condition of pavement and lack of street lighting.
The locations where the 28 ‘road condition and maintenance’ issues were raised
are shown in Figure 22 and were concentrated near the Peet Road/ Brookton
Highway intersection and along Holden, Chevin and Croydon Roads intersection.
Comments related to sight line issues, road making required, road surface issues
and locations where speed limits should be dropped due to sight line issues.
Figure 22 - Locations where road maintenance issues were raised
6.4.3 Public transport
Given Roleystone’s minimal provision of public transport as described in Section
2.4, community concerns have been raised about the condition of bus shelters,
protection of bus stops from traffic and service gaps.
In particular, bus stops along Peet Road have been identified as lacking basic
provisions such as shelters from both the weather and as awareness for vehicles.
In addition, a number of bus stops on the network do not have adequate pedestrian
infrastructure provisions, forcing boarding and alighting passengers to wait
amongst dense vegetation on the side of the road reserve and walk to and from bus
stops on unsealed road verges, with no protection from vehicle traffic.
Furthermore, the northeast of Roleystone has been raised as a public transport
service gap to both public and school service buses. Currently, a number of houses
north of Chevin Road and east of Brooks Road are in excess of a 1.5km walk from
the nearest bus stop (approximately 20-minute walk).

7 Traffic Management Plan
This section is aimed at providing the City with a matrix of LATM treatments
recommended at addressing each issue and suggested locations of implementation
as highlighted by the study. The following overall LATM objectives aim at
addressing the key issues facing the Roleystone area as determined through the
desktop analysis, site inspection and community consultation process:
• Mitigate total speed and cases of speeding on major movement corridors and
local access roads
• Reduce hazardous intersections by improving sightlines and mitigating vehicle
conflict
• Increase amenity and safety for pedestrians and cyclists and encourage the use
of active transport
• Increase parking supply at major demand areas (i.e. school and market
parking) in the study area to decrease parking overflow adjacent private
property
• Improve the overall condition of the existing transport infrastructure and
increase connectivity.
Further considerations to note include:
• Recommended LATM treatments are likely to be of minimal impact in
isolation and should be used appropriately in conjunction with one another. A
combination of measures should therefore be selected that complement one
another and do not create further conflicts and/ or prevent the effectiveness of
a single measure.
• All recommended treatments and diagrams included in this section are
depictions only and should be investigated further as part of more detailed
design. Treatment options will also need to be investigated in regard to road
reserve constraints, additional clearing of vegetation, Safety in Design
considerations and trial periods. It should also be noted that treatments shown
are not recommended exclusively at these locations and can be implemented at
various locations within the study area
• Selected treatments should be in favour of encouraging active transport rather
than the use of private vehicles (i.e. additional footpath and shared
pedestrian/cycle paths in preference to increased parking supply). It is likely
that treatments which encourage the use of vehicles are likely to lead to a
higher saturation of vehicles on the network, resulting in potential increases in
pedestrian/ vehicle conflicts, crashes and reduced active transport amenity.
• Treatments in regard to Primary Distributor roads (e.g. Brookton Highway)
and public transport services will require further analysis and discussions with
additional stakeholders and authorities (i.e. Main Roads WA, Transperth,
PTA, etc.).

7.1 Priority Areas
The following LATM treatments are recommended for key concern areas in:
• Roleystone Community College
• Roleystone town centre
• Peet Road south of Urch Road.
7.1.1 Roleystone Community College
A study undertaken by Cardno in August 2019 examined the traffic and parking
issues at the Campus. This recent report, was specifically commissioned to
examine the issues at the school in more detail than is possible as part of a suburb-
wide LATM. It made recommendations into potential traffic management
treatments to combat key issues at the college. The following treatment options
were recommended:
• New pick-up/ drop-off facility north of Raeburn Road
• Consolidation of signage to indicate available parking on the existing northern
bays of Raeburn Road
• New pick-up/ drop-off facility on the eastern side of Brooks Road, south of
the existing facility (approximately 12 PUDO bays)
• Consolidation of signage to indicate available parking in the existing car park
on Brooks Road
• Extension of the current pick-up/ drop-off facility on Brooks Road (two bays)
• Removal of Brooks Road/ Caprea Boulevard roundabout to a priority-
controlled T-junction.
These treatments are yet to be implemented. It is clear from undertaking
community and stakeholder consultation to inform the preparation of the
Roleystone LATM, that traffic and parking issues at the Campus are one of the
highest priority issues currently facing Roleystone. The issues do not only affect
staff, visitors, parents and students at the Campus but the surrounding community.
The two core issues are:
• Lack of parking facilities for drop off and pick up
• Concentration of drop off and pick up on Brooks Road creating traffic
congestion.
The roundabout at the intersection of Caprea Drive/ Brooks Road is a symptom
but not the cause of traffic issues on Brooks Road.
Arup has reviewed the recommendations made within the 2019 report and along
with site visits and review of the consultation feedback, comments shown in
Figure 23 and as follows:
• There is a need for additional parking bays to be provided to meet drop off and
pick up demands. On street, embayed, parallel parking has been provided
City of Armadale Roleystone
Local Area Traffic Management Plan
| Final Draft | 09 June 2020 | Arup

Page 56
along the school frontages along Brooks Road and Raeburn Road. While there
is opportunity to provide additional parallel parking on the opposite sides of
these roads, that is, the western side of Brooks Road and southern side of
Raeburn Road, this would increase the need for pedestrians to cross roads to
access the school which poses increased safety risk and is not recommended.
• On the basis that there is no opportunity to increase embayed parking along
the school frontage, the preferred approach is to provide extended parking
areas for drop off and pick up on the school campus. This would increase
supply, reduce the need for students to cross roads to travel to/from campus to
parking facilities and reduce the amenity impacts of traffic and parking on
surrounding residences (in particular Salicina Gardens). Additional facilities
should be located off Raeburn Road and Brooks Road in order to spread the
traffic demands. The recommendation from the 2019 Cardno report for new
PUDO facilities on Raeburn Road and Brooks Road (south of the existing
facility) are supported.
• The roundabout at Brooks Road/ Caprea Boulevard allows vehicles to safely
undertake a U-turn in order to access the embayed parking on the eastern side
of Brooks Road (if approaching from the south) and the drop off/ pick up and
parking facilities within the school campus. As per the above
recommendation, there will be increased access demands with the additional
supply of parking within the campus off Brooks Road. The additional supply
of parking as proposed by Cardno, appears to reinforce the left in left-out
arrangement currently in place Alternatively the preference is for right turn in
movements (with right turn pockets provided) at the Brooks Road
kindergarten/ pre-primary car park and the new proposed southern PUDO
facility Arup sees no reason to also remove the roundabout at Caprea
Boulevard with the costs associated with removal of the roundabout better
invested into provision right turn pockets on Brooks Road.
• The increase in PUDO bays on Raeburn Road as proposed in the 2019 report
are supported.
• The signage recommendations in the 2019 report are supported, if
implemented in concert with the increase in the number of PUDO bays
Other recommendations:
• Education of motorists accessing the school through the newsletter:
• Availability of parking on Raeburn Road. This is not used to capacity
(based on Arup’s site visit)
• Reinforce the need to park clear of footpaths
• In September/ October 2019, a survey was undertaken by the Children’s
Crossing and Road Safety Committee to review use of the crossing on Brooks
Road. This is currently a ‘Type A’ crossing (traffic warden provided by
school). The survey captured the AM peak hour before school starts on one
day and the after school peak on another day. The survey results showed that
the warrants for a type ‘B’ crossing (traffic warden supplied by WA Police)
was met in the AM peak but not the PM peak. The PM peak however revealed
that the number of pedestrians using the crossing, outweighed the number of

vehicles. The low traffic count was most likely a result of traffic queuing
through the Caprea Boulevard roundabout, restricting traffic flows on Brooks
Road. As the result was compromised, it is recommended that the survey be
repeated and any conclusions cognisant of traffic congestion that may affect
the results.
• The lack of progress on the implementation of the recommendations from the
2019 report by Cardno indicates that a partnership approach between the
Department of Education, the City of Armadale and Roleystone Community
College is needed as a priority to help implement changes.
• Prepare a school travel plan, to identify ways to encourage secondary students
in particular to walk or cycle to school. This needs to be supported by road
safety education and supply of good quality (secure, weather protected)
bicycle parking facilities.
• The school may be required to be more stringent in terms of the incorrect use
of the PUDO facility. The current ‘move-on’ policy, which details parents
must keep traffic flowing at all time, moving on from the PUDO facility if
their child is not waiting, currently appears to be not adhered to. Enforcement
and surveillance of this option could be undertaken by additional on-duty
staff.

7.1.2 Roleystone town centre
The following LATM treatment options are recommended in the Roleystone town
centre and also shown indicatively in Figure 24:
• Extend existing parallel, embayed parking within the existing road reserve on
Jarrah Road (western side) extending north towards the football club access.
The adjacent footpath should also be extended
• Pedestrian crossing on Jarrah Road:
• Pedestrian and vehicle surveys undertaken in 2020 revealed that the
existing raised pedestrian crossing point (where vehicles currently have
priority), does not meet warrants for it to be converted to a full wombat
crossing where pedestrians have priority. Other interventions to improve
pedestrian safety and amenity can be implemented as follows:
• Introduce a 40km/h speed zone on Jarrah Road between Wygonda
Road and in the vicinity of Robin Road/ Andreas Road – providing a
400m length as per MRWA standards. A threshold treatment such as a
raised platform or different surface treatment to delineate entry to the
40kph zone is recommended at either end. While speeding on this
stretch of road is not an issue, reducing the speed limit will create a
more pedestrian and cycle friendly environment which is important
given the adjacency to the skate park and sporting ovals
• Install signage or linemarking to make it clear to pedestrians
‘pedestrians must give way to vehicles’. While this is not ideal as
pedestrians should be given priority in town centres to encourage this
mode of travel, as the warrants are not met, this treatment is a means to
remove ambiguity as to who have priority.
• Annually review pedestrian and traffic count data to determine if
warrants are met to justify a pedestrian priority (wombat crossing)
• Construct/ extend shared path/ footpath infrastructure on the southern side of
Wygonda Road (east of Jarrah Road) to connect with existing network and
‘bush trails’, including better integration with the bus stop and formalisation
of pedestrian infrastructure on the busy segment of the road
• Construct/ extend shared path/ footpath infrastructure on the northern side of
Wygonda Road (west of Madew Street) to connect with existing network and
‘bush trails’ from Peet Road and increase formalisation of pedestrian
infrastructure on the busy segment of the road
• Formalise gravel car park located off Wygonda Road either by resurfacing and
the implementation of linemarking, or by introducing pegged out bays and
wheel stops in order to retain gravel surface. The gravel car park needs to be
regularly maintained, preferably prior to winter months. This would avoid the
current situation of vehicles parking on the root zones of trees and provide
some physical barriers to restrict the amount of space that could be used for
hoon driving.
• Upgrade car park at the sporting facility as follows:

Page 60
• Introduce ACROD parking bays (two bays). Bays should be designed in
accordance with AS2890.6
• The elimination of blind aisles which will means some loss in bays
• Install shared zone signage and speed bumps along the east-west
circulating road
• Formalisation of the current U-turn facility with linemarking and signage
(including installation of no parking signs).
• Put in temporary traffic management on Madew Street during the monthly
markets until additional parking is provided as per the recommendations
above. This could include blocking access from Jarrah Road (cones and a
traffic manager controller to permit local access only). This is a costly exercise
but would alleviate pressures on this road before additional parking is
implemented on Jarrah Road and in Cross Park. Alternatively, the construction
of additional on-street parking bays with associated line marking and parking
signs on the eastern side of Madew Street is recommended by CoA for further
investigation.
• Monitor traffic volumes on Wygonda Road. Traffic volumes recorded in 2018,
between Dreyer Road and Taree Place showed that the recorded volume
exceeded the desirable threshold for an access road by 10% (around 300vpd in
excess). This was based on a single traffic count only and high traffic volumes
have not been identified by the community as an issue in this location. It is
recommended that traffic counts should be repeated (on a further two
occasions) in order to determine any trends.

7.1.3 Peet Road south of Urch Road
The following LATM treatment options are recommended for Peet Road and also
shown indicatively in Figure 25. Recommended treatments include those that slow
the traffic environment to account for the tight corners and mitigate sightline
issues of its multiple intersections.
• Between Urch Road and Brookton Highway:
• Lowering the posted speed limit from 60kph to 50kph south of Urch Road
to account for the change in alignment, sightlines and number of
intersections. This is supported by MRWA guidelines
• Intensify speed limit enforcement – working closely with WA Police
• Modify T-intersections (Peet Road/ Urch Road, Peet Road/ Mackie Road,
Peet Road/ Knuckey Ct and Peet Road/ Gilcoe Pl)
• Flat-top road hump (Peet Road before Brookton Highway)
• Small central median to better delineate traffic lanes at the road bend
(within road reserve between Gilcoe Place and Brookton Highway in front
of property no. 20)
• Mini roundabout (within existing road reserve at the intersection of Urch
Road/ Peet Road
• Raised pavement at Contour Road/ Mann Place/ Peet Road.
• Peet Road/ Brookton Highway intersection (subject to further consultation
with MRWA):
• Install dynamic, portable speed warning signs on Brookton Highway on
approaches to Peet Road in order to encourage motorists to travel at or
below the 70km/h speed limit
• Introduce left slip lane from Brookton Highway into Peet Road to avoid
potential rear-end and head-on collisions from high speed vehicles on
Brookton Highway performing dangerous overtaking manoeuvres
• Deviate cyclists and pedestrians from Brookton Highway to avoid the Peet
Road intersection, increasing active transport safety by separation from
traffic at the dangerous intersection
• Remove large mature tree on Peet Road obscuring sightlines to the east
towards the Brookton Highway intersection.
Further considerations/ investigation to be required given the implementation of
depicted LATM measures:
• Existing counts portray 3,900vpd in both directions on Peet Road, under the
4,000vpd maximum warranted by Main Roads WA for road humps. Further
traffic volume counts should be undertaken however in precise locations
depicted for a modified T-intersection/ roundabout/ flat-top road humps
• Adequate road reserve available for required LATM measures. Further
investigation into available road reserve and future projects should be
undertaken however to avoid land reclamation in locations depicted for
modified T-intersection/ roundabout/ blister island.

7.2 Secondary Areas
The following LATM treatments are recommended for key concern roads in:
• Chevin Road
• Coventry Road.
7.2.1 Chevin Road
The following LATM treatment options are recommended on Chevin Road and
shown indicatively for Chevin Road between Holden Road and Heath Road in
Figure 26. As shown, recommended treatments include those which deflect the
straight and flat road alignment at various points along the road (e.g. slow points,
raised pavements and modified t-intersections) to discourage speeding and
improve safety both along the corridor and at intersections. It should be noted that
indicative treatments as shown in Figure 26 are not limited to this section of
Chevin Road and can be investigated at alternative locations further west on the
corridor. For instance, the introduction of a shared path is recommended along the
full length of Chevin Road given its importance to residents as surmised from
various stages of community consultation.
• Reclassification of Chevin Road. Chevin Road is classified as a Regional
Distributor. The primary purpose of regional distributors, according to Main
Roads WA, is to link significant destinations and are designed for efficient
movement of people and goods between and within regions. This
classification is not appropriate for built up areas. According to the functional
road hierarchy, pedestrian provisions for these types of roads are through the
careful placement of school bus stops and rest areas. Direct property access is
not preferable. The classification of Chevin Road as a regional distributor is
not in context with the surrounding low-density residential land use and while
there is only limited direct property access, there are numerous local access
streets intersecting to the east of Holden Road. It is suggested that Chevin
Road is reclassified as a Local Distributor following the implementation of
appropriate LATM measures.
• Investigate the option of lowering the posted speed limit from 80kph to 60kph.
This would likely create a shift in driver behaviour, lowering the risks of
crashes, while also lowering speeds on adjoining streets where vehicles turn
off Chevin Road (i.e. Brooks Road). However, this should be supported by the
following measures:
• Blister island (between Gwynne Pl and Rubida Rise)
• Raised pavement (Chevin Road/ Heath Road and Chevin Road/
Moseri Road)
• Modified T-intersections (Chevin Road/ Brooks Road, Chevin
Road/ Rubida Rise and Chevin Road/ Peet Road).
• Reinforce clear zones by clearing vegetation and sealing shoulders particularly
at Peet Road intersection to improve sightlines

• Additional lighting (between Gwynne Place and Heath Road)
• Investigate the implementation of sealed shoulders on each side of the road
and the introduction of a shared path along the southern side of Chevin Road.
Further considerations/ investigation to be required given the implementation of
depicted LATM measures:
• Existing traffic volume counts allow for LATM measures (raised pavements,
modified T-intersections) on Chevin Road in depicted locations based on
Main Roads WA guidelines excluding at Chevin Road/ Peet Road intersection
where counts exceed maximum by 800vpd (400 in each direction). Further
investigation would be required into this intersection to increase safety given
history of crashes as outlined in Section 2.5

7.2.2 Coventry Road
The following LATM treatment options are recommended on Coventry Road and
shown indicatively Figure 27. As shown, recommended treatments include:
• Deflection of the road from a straight and flat alignment through:
o Slow points
o Raised pavements at T-intersections and at entry points to
Coventry Road creating an entry statement to the local access road
o Flat road humps.
• Introduction of new, clear posted speed limit signage
Given an overall reduction in opportunity to use Coventry Road as a fast
thoroughfare between Chevin Road and Urch Road, this is likely to reduce
through-traffic and create a more neighbourhood friendly road for current
residents.
Further considerations/ investigation to be required given the implementation of
depicted LATM measures:
• Existing counts portray 1,000vpd in both directions on Coventry Road, under
the 4,000vpd maximum warranted by Main Roads WA for road humps.
Further traffic volume counts should be undertaken however in precise
locations depicted for slow points and flat-top road humps
• 50km/h speed zone satisfies Main Roads WA requirements for road humps
however support to be requested given preferred implementation
• Further investigation into available road reserve and future projects should be
undertaken however to avoid additional land reclamation in precise locations
depicted for modified T-intersection/ blister island.

7.3 Wider network issues
The following LATM treatments are recommended for wider network issues
regarding:
• Speeding
• Road maintenance
• Public transport.
7.3.1 Speeding
The City has advised that they are arranging temporary installation of electronic
speed signs on Soldiers Road and Urch Road. These signs give real time
information to motorists on the speed they are travelling and whether their speed
is below or above the speed limit (and advised to slow down).
It is recommended that these signs should also be installed as a priority on
Coventry Road.
The two locations where traffic speed have been recorded on Croyden Road show
that speeding is an issue. A number of crashes have also been recorded on
Croyden Road and for this reason it is recommended that electronic speed signs
should be installed, and traffic speeds monitored.
Mackie Road only has a single traffic count source and has not been raised
through consultation as a speeding hotspot. It is recommended that further traffic
counts are recorded to determine whether traffic speeding is a trend.
7.3.2 Road maintenance
The community consultation feedback highlighted that road maintenance issues
spread throughout Roleystone with a moderate focus on Chevin Road, Peet Road,
Brookton Highway and Croydon Road (refer to Figure 22). LATM treatments that
should be considered for further investigation include:
• Upgrading linemarking to pronounce traffic lanes, bicycle lanes and
intersection arrangements
• Removal of potholes
• Resurfacing of heat damaged roads and removal of extensive asphalt road
crack fillers particularly evident on Garland Road south of Brookton Highway
• Sealing of shoulders on key arterials such as Chevin Road, Peet Road and
Holden Road
• Removal of vegetation encroaching on road reserve
• Road maintenance and footpath maintenance alongside Brookton Highway (to
require engagement with Main Roads WA).

Page 70
7.3.3 Public transport
Key public transport issues as indicated in Section 6.4.3 depend on contribution
from stakeholders external to the City. The PTA has advised that they do not
foresee any increase in service provision in Roleystone, due to the low-density
residential land use and low existing and potential patronage.
Despite modifications to the current operational service, feedback from the
community consultation seeks additional infrastructure in the form of bus shelters,
particularly along the existing service 241 bus route on Peet Road. It has been
noted that current provisions provide minimal protection for waiting passengers
from adverse weather and from passing vehicles. It is therefore recommended that
investigation into the provision of bus shelters and the upgrade of existing shelters
at popular stops should be undertaken to improve the rider experience and
possibly encourage a lift in patronage.
7.4 Safety in Design review
A Safety in Design (SiD) review was undertaken for the treatments recommended.
The SiD reviews the effectiveness of and appropriateness of the treatment in
addressing issues such as speeding, hoon driving, unsafe intersections, etc. A copy
of the SiD review is provided in Appendix C.

Dear
Roleystone LATM Stakeholder input
Arup has been appointed by the City of Armadale to prepare a local area traffic management plan for the Roleystone area. The study area is shown below.
Figure 1 - Study area (source, City of Armadale, Google Maps)
The area is a semi-rural area with approximately 2,560 dwellings. Other notable land uses include a local school (Roleystone Community College), a community purpose/ recreational precinct (Frank Cross Park), a small commercial/ retail precinct and a number

of tourist attractions including the Araluen Botanic Park. The area is characterised by rolling terrain, steep terrain in parts, and many winding local roads. The study area is bisected by Brookton Highway, a Main Roads WA controlled road.
The need for an LATM study has been prompted by local resident concerns regarding high traffic speeds on local streets creating an unsafe environment. Other concerns include parking issues and pedestrian crossing issues around Roleystone Community College, as well as parking issues around Frank Cross Park on days during which the Roleystone Markets are in operation.
Arup is in the initial stages of this study, aimed at discovering the existing traffic and parking conditions including traffic speed, volume and classification data, functional road hierarchy, land use, public transport services (including school bus services)
As a stakeholder, we seek your input to this early stage of the study to understand existing traffic conditions, issues, concerns and opportunities. We would like insight into any changes to transport infrastructure or services that are planned in the study area. Overleaf is a brief questionnaire we would appreciate if you could please complete.
Your input will be considered alongside community views which are being collected in parallel to consultation with stakeholders.
Once we have gathered facts and insight into the current traffic and parking conditions, we will be developing a draft LATM action plan. We would like to meet with stakeholders) to discuss and refine the draft action plan. We envisage this second round of consultation to take place in January/ February 2020. We will be in contact in due course to arrange a meeting with you,
Thank you for your time in contributing to this LATM for Roleystone. Please email you completed questionnaire by Wednesday 11 December 2019 (to [email protected]). Should you have any queries or require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned on 9327 8363 or 0408 329 851 or the City of Armadale representative, Elaine Chan, on 9394 5000.

Upgrade the lighting on Brookton Hwy between Croyden Rd and Holden Rd intersection. Between
Peet Rd and prior to Croyden Rd Brookton Hwy is well lit however after this section the road is pitch
black especially on the bend near Croyden Rd. Note vehicles park on the road reserve against the
traffic with their back reflectors visible to vehicles coming up Brookton Hwy this can make drivers
think that is the direction of the road.

Improve the lighting on Chevin Road as this section of the road is poorly lit and is pitch black on
approach to Holden Rd
2020‐02‐12 1Road Condition / Maintenance
Jarrah Rd with so many signs, trees etc at this location it is not clear there is a speed hump crossing
between the hall and shopping centre until you are nearly on it. When kids are moving fast on their
scateboards/bikes using the hump they appear from nowhere in front of vehicles. Visiblity need to
be improved.
2020‐02‐12 1Road Condition / Maintenance
Brookton Hwy line marking on the road approaching Peet Rd to direct cyclists is misleading as
drivers think this is the beginning of the left turn into Peet Road. The line of sign to exit Peet is poor
with vehicles having to exit from a stationary position into a 70 kmph road. Reducing the speed to
60 kmph from Soldiers Rd to say Croyden Rd turning would be benifical to the area. Especially when
the tulips are a tourist attraction.
2020‐02‐12 1Traffic Speed
When travelling behind large/high vehicles on Chevin Road the view along the road on the approach
to Canning Miils Road is not clear. The new layout of the intersection deviates from the normal flow
of the road. As the road speed is 80 kmph from Brookton Hwy to Canning Mills Rd travellers on
Chevin Road need to have warning the prior to the approach to the intersection to reduce speed.
2020‐02‐12 1Traffic Speed Place speed sign to indicate speed required for the pathed side of the road.
2020‐02‐12 1Traffic Speed
Vehicles existing Brockway Road are entering Chevin Road with vehicles travelling at 80 kmph or
more. This intersection should have a stop sign not give way as the line of sight is not safe. From
Brockway intersection Chevin Road speed should be reduced to 70 as the next road exist is the
Holden Rd intersection which has a sharp turning entry.

The curve on Holden Road at Wygonda Rd intersection is not suitable for a speed of 60 kmph. The
road camber means drivers are coming round the bend over the white line. Vehicles turning into
Wygonda Rd take the turning at speed and end up on the other side of the road. A roundabout at
this location would improve this location and enable pedestrians to cross safely. Reduce speed limit
to 50 from Brookton Hwy turning.
2020‐02‐12 1Road Condition / Maintenance
Safety barrier prevents clear view of people on the wrong side of the road using the cycle lane to
cross Brookton Hwy at Holden Road entry, eg kids on scooters, bikes, skate boards. Have to enter
the cycle lane to get a clear view if in a small car and not a high vehicle which has a better view.
2020‐02‐12 1Road Condition / Maintenance
No signage on Chevin Road to indicate the entry to Brooks Rd. Chevin Rd speed is 80 kmph the road
incline on approach to Brooks Road prevents clear line of sight of approaching vehicles when
turning and existing Brooks Rd. Street signage along Chevin Road is recessed back on the road
reserve and should be relocated on the other side of the road for clear visibility. Speed limited
should be reduced to 70 kmph between Mosetti and Brockway Rd to cater for safer entry and
existing of all roads.

This is an awful intersection. There is such limited visibility. A traffic light is impractical. How about
some kind of traffic device that warns about approaching cars? Obviously you'd still use your own

2019‐12‐19 1Pedestrian Issues
People park their cars by crossing over the footpath and then reverse to back out. This is very
dangerous for pedestrians and the elderly as sometimes the cars actually are over the footpath. I
use a motorised tricycle because of my mobility heath issues. The retirement village is at the end of
Madew Street.

Localised congestion around Roleystone community college delaying bus services.
low residential density means that servicing Roleystone by PT is a low priority. No plans to
increase bus services in the future. 241 service has low and drcreasing patronage. service
changes to the 729 school bus service planned (truncated at Canning Mills Road).

DM requested a copy of the previous
traffic management plan mentioned
in the school's feedback.
Brooks Rd ‐ insufficient parking supply, queueing through roundabout with Caprea Blvd,
traffic queues on approach to kiss and drop, delays for buses (buses would be better located
in Raeburn Rd).
Raeburn Rd insufficint parking supply.
Salencina Gardens/ Brooks Rd intersection ‐ poor sight lines due to cars parking on verges
lack of continous footpaths (parents not allowing students to walk to school).
Insufficient parking on site.
Problems have been getting worse for th last 3 years with the school continuing to grow.

DM followed up for any further
comments from Bassam (6/1/20).
• Brookton Hwy is a State Road and under the control of Main Roads WA
• Current planning and the MRS makes provision for the future duplication of Brookton
Highway through this area.
• Existing traffic volumes along this section of Brookton Highway vary from just under 7,000
vpd west of Croyden Road to just over 2,500 vpd west of Ferguson Road.
• Future traffic projections do not indicate any major traffic growth suggesting that
duplication will not be required until the longer term.
• I am not aware of any current traffic issues/problems along this section of Brookton Hwy
but advice on this should be provided via our Traffic Services area. While below was also
sent to Jerko he is not currently working in the Traffic Services are at the moment. I will
follow this up with Bassam Abu Shamleh.
• In relation to any proposed treatments these will need to consider what if any impact they
may have on the side road intersections with Brookton Highway.

Issue LATM treatment Example Desired outcome SiD recommendation
Speeding
Lower posted speed limit • Overall reduction in speed
• Improvements to safety, crash severity and sight lines.
• Despite not eliminating speeding, a lower posted speed limit is
likely to limit the total speeds that ‘speeders’ reach
• Would be determined by further investigation between the
City and Main Roads WA and appreciation of the 85th
percentile speed as it currently stands at chosen locations.
Mid-block median
treatment
City of South Perth, WA
• Overall reduction in speed along the corridor by prevention
of overtaking and visual enhancement of the street through
landscaping
• Lower turning speeds at corners and intersections
• Provides a refuge for crossing pedestrians.
• Likely to require the removal of trees and bushland on rural
roads
• Leaving room for cyclists on road shoulders and not
subtracting from available area should be considered
• Investigation required into sufficient sight distances to provide
safe crossing points for pedestrians and cyclists, as pedestrians
will assume they can cross safely
• Further investigation into available road reserve for additional
widening recommended.
Road hump/ cushion
City of Subiaco, WA
• Vertical deflection limiting overall speed
• Discourages through-traffic
• Raised pavements can highlight the approach towards an
intersection/ pedestrian crossing.
• To be used on conjunction with a lower posted speed limit of
below 60kph
• Likely to adversely affect access for vehicles other than
passenger vehicles i.e. buses and commercial vehicles
• To be avoided on bends and crests
• Should not be used on roads with more than 4,000vpd.

widening recommended.
Lane narrowings/ kerb
extensions
Town of Vincent, WA
• Curvilinear alignment employed significantly reduces speeds
• Provides an opportunity for landscaping/ parklets in high
activity town centre areas
• Less disruptive to surrounding area in design.
• Likely to lead to a reduction in parking supply
• Avoid on routes where daily traffic exceeds 3,000vpd
• Should be designed not to take away from provision for
cyclists.
Hazardous
intersection
Roundabouts
City of Subiaco, WA
• Reduction in conflict points for vehicles is likely to reduce
crashes
• Eliminates ability for drivers to cut corners
• Increase in intersection visibility and improvement of blind
intersections.
• Likely to require clearing of trees/ bushland on rural roads
• Further investigation into available road reserve for additional
widening recommended
• Likely to adversely affect access for vehicles other than
passenger vehicles i.e. buses and commercial vehicles
• Further investigation of traffic volumes at specific locations to
be undertaken to avoid uneven flows and additional queuing.
Staged-crossing
Town of Cambridge, WA
• Allows vehicles to cross busy/ high-speed roads in stages,
limiting sightline issues

• Avoid on routes where steep crests reduce sightline distance
• To be avoided on Distributor Roads where the geometry will
likely result in the transfer of traffic to adjacent local access
routes
• Further investigation into available road reserve for additional
widening recommended.
Stop sign • Encourages slower driving and safe habits by checking
oncoming traffic for a required time
• Highlights priority
• Relatively cheap installation/ maintenance cost
• Should be used on conjunction with other LATM measures as
this measure has relatively minimal impact.
Road
maintenance
Upgrade in linemarking
to be approved on a case
by case basis
• Pronounces intersections, traffic lanes, cycle lanes and other
LATM treatments
• Reduces confusion at intersections.
• Should be used on conjunction with other LATM measures as
this measure has relatively minimal impact.
Parking supply Upgrade pick-up/ drop-
off (PUDO) locations
• Reduction in parking overflow onto private property • Oversupply in parking is likely to encourage vehicular use
• Where possible, measures should encourage active transport
rather than increasing benefits for vehicles
• Further investigation required in determining alternative and
additional parking areas (i.e. parking management survey,
appropriate trials and community consultation).

Issue LATM treatment Example Desired outcome SiD recommendation
Connectivity Re-opening closures • Increases network wide connectivity and alternative routes
under an evacuation scenario
• Reduces speeding and driver stress.
• Should be used in conjunction with other LATM measures to
discourage through-traffic on local roads
• To be avoided where opening of routes would cause excess
through-traffic onto local access routes.
Road construction
Hooning Increased lighting • May deter drivers from hooning implying surveillance. • Treatments to combat hooning are often relatively minimal in
effectiveness in comparison to active enforcement. In many
cases, anti-social drivers see anti-hooning treatments as
challenges to overcome and may increase hooning and/ or
increase the severity of the activity.
Passive surveillance
Increased traffic
enforcement via active
surveillance (CCTV,
police presence, etc.)
• Active enforcement involving fines, license suspension is
highly effective in mitigating hooning.
Pedestrian
amenity (active
transport)
Sidewalk extension/
construction
City of Perth, WA
• Decreases pedestrian/ vehicle conflicts
• Supply of dedicated infrastructure encourages active
transport and gives users a sense of importance
• Increases safety.
• Likely to require clearing of trees/ bushland on rural roads
• Avoid on routes where daily traffic exceeds 3,000vpd
• Should be designed not to take away from provision for
cyclists.
Increased lighting • Increases safety by increasing visibility • To avoid where placement of lighting reduces sightline
distances.
Wombat crossing
City of Knox, VIC
• Significant reduction in traffic speed
• Provide a designated crossing for pedestrians increasing
pedestrian safety and mitigating vehicle/ pedestrian conflict.
