Roadworks begin to make Rockingham foreshore streets safer

Raised plateaus and roundabouts are being added to a series of intersections around the Rockingham foreshore in a bid to improve safety. The City of Rockingham said the changes would improve motorist visibility and reduce vehicle speed at six intersections along Wanliss Street and Alexander Street. Rockingham Mayor Deb Hamblin hoped it would reduce the likelihood of fatal and serious injury crashes. Works are already under way with road closures and detours required during construction, although local traffic will still be able to get through. The project is funded through Main Roads WA’s Urban Road Safety Program.
