1. Executive Summary

The subject site is the intersection of Hampton Road and Scott Street. The movement on the intersection has been
restricted from full movement to Left-In-Left-Out by bollards and a median strip as a temporary trial.

It is KCTTs understanding that the introduction of a median has been induced by an accident that occurred at the
site. We have examined the crash rates for Hampton Road and Scott Street intersection as well as the midblock
sections of these roads in the vicinity of the subject intersection. Crash data has been obtained from the Main Roads
WA database for crashes and incidents between the 1st January 2012 and 31st December 2016.

The Intersection of Hampton Road and Scott Street is deemed to have lower crash rate than the local network
average. The midblock section of Scott Street has not had any crashes reported in the last 5 years, while the midblock
section of Hampton Road has a higher crash rate than average. However, with 1 KSI crash in the last 5-year period,
the midblock section of Hampton Road does not meet the BCR ratio to qualify as a black spot location. Details of
these findings are presented in the Section 2.5 of this report.

Intersection sightlines are in accordance with ASD requirements. Other intersections on Hampton Road are spaced
in accordance with relevant regulatory requirements.

It is recommended that the geometry of the access point to the South Fremantle Shopping Centre on Scott Street
west of Hampton Road and line marking are consistent given that at present splitter island is designed to prevent
right out movement while all supporting line marking and signage have been removed. This is resulting in vehicles
driving over splitter island, as witnessed during the site visit, creating potentially hazardous situation.

In conclusion, we believe that the restriction of the movement at the intersection of Hampton Road and Scott Street
did not enhance pedestrian safety. On contrary we believe that the issue is exacerbated given that vehicles travelling
through on Hampton Road have clear advantage and are travelling at speed limit showing no regard for pedestrians
attempting to cross Hampton Road. Restriction of the movement is causing vehicles approaching from Scott Street
to focus on unidirectional on-coming traffic, looking away from the pedestrian crossing.

Should the intersection be permanently restricted to LILO it may cause congestion on neighbouring intersections
(Hampton Road & Jenkins Street and Hampton Road & Lloyd Street) that do not have the capacity to take in the
additional traffic volumes. This can lead to adverse safety outcomes which have already been noticed during the site
visit. Higher volume of vehicles making right turns can also affect safety and create congestion on Hampton Road.
Therefore, it is suggested that the intersection of Hampton Road and Scott Street be reinstated to full movement,
and that any related issues can be resolved in different intersection treatment options. Confining the intersection to
a LILO only reallocates problems to neighbouring intersections.

The intersection of Hampton Road and Scott Street is surrounded by residential land use, and the traffic impact is
now being redirected through streets that have low capacity levels. Residential lots east of Hampton Road are now
forced to use Maxwell Street and Jenkins Street or Hale Street (Lefroy Road) for the connection to Hampton Road
to travel northbound. Furthermore, Maxwell Street, Jenkins Street and Hale Street are part of the school zone for
Beaconsfield Primary School. Residential lots west of Hampton Road are redirected to Jenkins Street or Lloyd Street
for a full movement intersection.

Site visit has been completed on 10th of July 2017. Observations are noted in the section 2.11 of this report.

To enhance traffic safety with minimal limitations to manoeuvrability KCTT suggest the following interventions can
be considered:

PAGE 4
Traffic Engineering Report
KC00711.000 195 Hampton Road, South Fremantle

Potential wombat crossing on Scott Street (both west and east of Hampton Road) this will reduce
vehicular operating speed and visually separate pedestrians, giving them priority.
Relocation of pedestrian crossing on Hampton Road (south of Scott Street) to the south, with the
introduction of a PELICAN crossing. This will also enable easier connection to the bus station. The Signals
Ahead (W3-3B) sign is used in advance of midblock pedestrian crossings. A supplementary Crossing Ahead
(W8-.22B) sign is used when the sign is placed in advance of a midblock pedestrian crossing.
Possibility of turning the bus lane on Hampton Road into AM/PM bus lane. The number of buses currently
using the bus lanes on Hampton Road outside of peak hours is approximately 6 vehicles per direction per
hour.
Paving and raising the intersection this would automatically produce a visual cue and a slight obstacle
that would require vehicles to slow down when navigating the intersection.
Changing the intersection controls from give way to stop.
Introducing speed humps (there is a variety of designs that can be considered) in the approach to the
intersection.
Line marking and signage should be renewed, and tree canopies should be trimmed to ensure maintaining
unobstructed sight distances for improved safety.

Note 1 - This location has also been compared to Black Spot Program Criteria. Being a section of metropolitan local road with
less than 5 KSI crashes in 5 years, it does not qualify as a Black Spot location.

The following table shows the Crash Density and Crash Rates on Metropolitan Local Roads as obtained from Main
Roads WA on the 21th October 2016 by email request: -

In order to identify black spots being the locations noted for a high incidence of crashes involving death and injury
(KSI), it is important to conduct a crash criteria analysis as shown in the table below. If the below crash criteria are
met, there is a way to measure the cost-effectiveness of the proposed treatment. This is called BCR and it ensures
that the black spot exhibits a significant number of crashes that are correctable by infrastructure treatment. However,
this is not the case with any of the locations analysed in this report.

2.6 Road Safety

Are sight distances adequate at proposed intersections? YES

Justification
We have reviewed the intersection location in accordance with:
Approach Sight Distance (ASD) the minimum level of sight distance which must be available on the minor
road approaches to all intersections to ensure that drivers are aware of the presence of an intersection
Safe Intersection Sight Distance (SISD) provides sufficient distance for a driver of a vehicle on the major
road to observe a vehicle on a minor road approach moving into a collision situation (e.g. in the worst case, stalling
across the traffic lanes) and to decelerate to a stop before reaching the collision point

The following table provides the standards in accordance with AustRoads Part 4A Table 3.1 Approach Sight
Distance (ASD) and corresponding minimum crest vertical curve size for sealed roads (S<L) (page 18)) and with
AustRoads Part 4A Table 3.2 Safe Intersection Sight Distance (SISD) and corresponding minimum crest vertical
curve size for sealed roads (S<L) (page 21)).

Intersection spacing on Scott Street (from Daly Street to Hampton Road and from Maxwell Street to Hampton
Road) is more than 90m on both sides.
Intersection spacing on Hampton Road (from Jenkins to Scott Street and from Lloyd Street to Scott Street) is
more than 155m on both sides.
Therefore, the intersection sightlines and intersection spacing distances adhere to the Austroad requirements.

2.11 Site Visit

Was a site visit required? YES

Date of site visit 10th of July 2017.
Site Observation Details:
Subjective feeling is that cars are generally travelling at the speed limit (60km/h) and higher along Hampton
Road. Furthermore, observed vehicles were failing to slow down at the approach to the pedestrian crossing.
During the site visit a pedestrian carrying bicycle utilising pedestrian crossing was observed. Vehicles did
not slow down while he was crossing. Furthermore, a vehicle travelling past the pedestrian was centimetres
short from hitting the pedestrian and his bike.
Pedestrian crossing not utilised on several occasions (recorded 4 incidences within 30 minutes).
Pedestrians choose to cross Hampton Road on a 5-10 metre offset to the crossing.
The bus lane is utilised frequently by vehicles as a turning lane.
Hampton Road passenger vehicles often driving partially in the bus lane. Notable number of heavy
vehicles travelling along Hampton Road.
Vehicles exiting shopping centre complex via Scott Street (performing a Right Turn Out heading towards
the intersection of Scott Street and Hampton Road) perform an awkward and tight manoeuvre onto Scott
Street due to shape of median favouring a Left Turn Out. One vehicle hit the kerb on Scott Street in doing
so.
Hampton Road intersection with Lloyd Street cars banked up on Hampton Road waiting to perform right
turn out. Vehicles overtaking using the bus lane. Blockage of right turn out at the intersection of Scott
Street and Hampton Road induces additional concentrated pressure onto neighbouring intersections
allowing right turns. Lloyd Street intersection with Hampton Road - vehicles failing to stop at the stop sign.
TEST - when trying to make a right turn out from Hampton Road onto Jenkin Street and from Hampton
Road onto Lloyd Street cars banked up behind and several overtook the test vehicle using the bus lane.
Jenkin Street West intersection with Hampton Road contains a stop sign but no stop line marking.
Several intersection approaches on Scott Street and Jenkin Street with Hampton Road provide poor sight distance
on the due to street post and trees blocking sight.
Conclusions:
1. Restricted movement (right turns and through movement on Scott Street) appears to have induced higher
operating speeds on Hampton Road as the effect of side friction is greatly reduced. It appears that the restriction
of movement at this intersection has not improved drivers consideration for pedestrians, on contrary it appears
that drivers on Hampton Road show little to no regard for pedestrians crossing the road.
2. Scott Street has strong grades in approach to the intersection and a degree of involuntary speed increase in
approach might be present. Once more the restriction of the movement has not addressed this, on contrary it
is causing drivers approaching the intersection from Scott Street west to look only to the north towards on-
coming traffic, not paying attention to the pedestrian crossing south of the intersection.
3. It appears that pedestrians feel it is safer and more convenient to cross Hampton Road south of the marked
crossing. Relocation of the pedestrian crossing with suitable management tool (possibly a pelican crossing)
approximately 20-25m south of the current location can be considered. As shown in the images bellow this
would be the preferred location for a pedestrian crossing, connecting the pedestrian path on the east side of
the road reservation of Hampton Road to the bus stop.

PAGE 13
Traffic Engineering Report
KC00711.000 195 Hampton Road, South Fremantle

4. Possibility of turning the bus lane on Hampton Road into an AM/PM bus lane can be considered. The number
of buses using the bus lanes on Hampton Road in outside of peak hours approximates to 6 vehicles per
direction.
5. The access/egress point to the shopping centre has been reconfigured has ambiguous geometry and line
marking while the configuration of the splitter island suggests it is Left In Left Out Right In only, line-marking
and signage do not support this. The drivers observed were using the access / egress as full movement driving
over the remnant splitter island in process. Therefore, the geometry of the splitter island and line marking and
signage should be consistent.
6. Restricting movement on the intersection Hampton Road / Scott Street caused redistribution of traffic and
elevated pressure on nearest roads intersecting Hampton Road. These intersections do not have the capacity
to absorb increased traffic volumes, particularly right turn movements. This was tested on Lloyd Street.
Furthermore, the traffic from Scott Street west is redirected to Hale Street, Maxwell Street and Jenkin Street.
These roads are part of the school zone for Beaconsfield Primary School. Therefore, it is suggested that the
intersection of Hampton Road and Scott Street be reinstated to full movement, and that any related issues can
be resolved in different intersection treatment options. Confining the intersection to a LILO only reallocates the
problem to neighbouring intersections.
7. Line marking and signage should be renewed, and tree canopies should be trimmed to ensure maintaining
unobstructed sight distances for improved safety.
