Proposal

• No left turn when heading north on Grange Rd onto Rayment St, Monday – Friday at 4:00pm - 6:30pm

Rationale

In Your Street, Your Say - Group B Stage 1, we heard that some car drivers use Perry St to avoid traffic on Grange Rd. Perry St is designed to be used mostly by local traffic.

Restricting car drivers from turning left onto Rayment St when heading north on Grange Rd will reduce non-local traffic on Perry St during the afternoon peak, on Monday to Friday between 4:00pm and 6:30pm. People riding bikes will be allowed to turn left at this intersection at all times.

Grange Rd is an arterial road managed by the Victorian Government. We will need to apply to the Department of Transport and Planning to make a change at the intersection of Grange Rd and Rayment St. This project, and details such as the timing of the turn restriction, depend on approval from the Department of Transport and Planning.

We will review this project after 12 months. We will assess whether there is less non-local traffic on Perry St and check for impacts on surrounding streets. Depending on the results of the review, the project could be made permanent, removed, or altered.

Another project to reduce non-local traffic on Perry St is proposed in Operational Project: Wingrove St and Perry St intersection.
