Eton and Haynes Street Upgrades

Road safety upgrades along Eton and Haynes Streets in North Perth are now complete.

The improvements will help slow traffic, make intersections safer and make it easier for people walking and riding bikes to move through the area.

Safety upgrades

At the intersection of Eton and Haynes streets, raised road sections have been installed on all four approaches to slow vehicles. New pedestrian islands on Haynes Street also make crossing the road safer.

At the Eton Street and Scarborough Beach Road intersection, a raised platform has been added to help slow vehicles as they turn onto Eton Street. Dedicated left and right turn lanes will also improve traffic flow and make turning safer.

Funding

The project was funded through the State Government's Black Spot Program, which funds road safety improvements at high-risk locations.

Happening next

Further improvements may follow as Haynes Street Reserve develops. The future of Eton Street as a key cycling route will also be considered as part of the Mt Hawthorn Precinct Transport Study.
