The Town of Cambridge is upgrading pedestrian facilities at 16 signalised intersections. These improvements are a collaborative effort between the Town and Main Roads WA (MRWA), who are responsible for approving and maintaining the traffic signals.
The Town and MRWA are working together to install Walk/Don’t Walk lanterns and pedestrian phases at the following four intersections:
- Salvado Road – Jersey Street
- Cambridge Street – Selby Street
- The Boulevard – Selby Street
- Salvado Rd – Harborne Street
These intersections currently have older circular traffic lanterns. The Town has secured MRWA's support to upgrade these to modern Walk/Don’t Walk lanterns over the next few years. MRWA has committed to traffic modelling approvals and funding basic improvements, the Town will be assisting with the necessary traffic collection, external approvals and value engineering where possible.
The Town is managing the upgrade of these intersections which includes the design and construction as well as funding the improvements. MRWA have offered to undertake the traffic modelling that is required as part of their approval process to assist the Town with these upgrades.
