Hallett Road Traffic Management Changes
This consultation has concluded.
The City of Burnside is committed to improving traffic management and safety by updating the line marking and traffic control at Hallett Road.
Hallett Road
Hallett Road is one of the busiest Council maintained roads and provides a crucial role providing access to many local streets and areas as well as linking Kensington Road with Greenhill Road.
Hallett Road spans multiple suburbs including Stonyfell, Wattle Park, Erindale and Burnside.
Proposed Line Marking
The current line marking and traffic control at Hallett Road is minimal. It is therefore proposed to implement a new line marking scheme that will improve safety and potentially lower traffic speeds.

Key Issues Considered
Some of the key issues considered when developing the proposal included:
- The volume and speed of existing traffic
- Vehicle class (cars, trucks, buses, cyclists etc)
- Pedestrians and access across the road
- Car parking and sight distance at intersections
Aim of the Plan
The introduction of travel, parking, turning lanes and continuity lines (at intersections) will better define the road space. The visual restriction created by the line marking typically results in reduced speeds and safer driving practices.
Additional Pedestrian Refuge crossing aids (similar to the existing refuge at High Street) will also be introduced adjacent to Newland Reserve and Elizabeth Reserve (corner Heatherbank Terrace).
