Council proposes to reduce the speed limit on Plozzas Road, Haven from 80km/h to 60km/h.

Background

Council has received multiple requests from members of community regarding road safety risks for the growing population along Plozzas Road, this population includes many children. These requests have been received since 2021 and the latest request was received in November 2023.

The adjoining section of Henty Highway is an 80 km/h speed zone.

A traffic count was conducted which found that 17.4 per cent of vehicles were observed to have been travelling at speeds of more than 80 km/h. The heavy vehicle percentage on Plozzas Road is 28.41 per cent.

Discussion

Factors relevant to this review of the speed limit in Plozzas Road include:

  • Plozzas Road has seen increasing development in recent years, with around 17 new lots directly facing Plozzas Road, and many more linked to it through new roads, such as Lock Road, and adjoining developments.
  • Many of the new houses on these lots have young families.
  • Plozzas Road is a key service road linking to the Golf Course, Haven Primary School and the Recreation Reserve which hosts many activities including the regular Haven Market and Tennis Club.
  • There is a relatively high percentage of heavy vehicle traffic on this road, as it provides a link from Three Bridges Road through to the Henty Highway.

Needs to be 60 asap, road is not designed or wide enough to have 2 vehicles passing at 80 without flicking rocks etc, plus with heaps of families along that road facing an 80 zone is not exactly a feasible thing, i dont know one resident who doesnt want the speed changed

Sounds like a sensible decision. Kenny Rd between Golf Course Rd and the back of the Golf Club should have an investigation into its speed limit, with consideration of reducing to 60kmh from 70kmh. My observation is that cars drive too quickly for the environment.
