I was considering suggesting an area-wide speed reduction for Bassendean, but discussion with the Office of Road Safety revealed that the Austroads funding is not available any more. To get a trial, Bassendean would have to request it. I have updated the page to reflect recent discussions in Bassendean.

This crossing connects to the PSP North of the railway. The lights at the Eastern access lights are still there - I use them every week. Thanks....

The Shared Path from River road joins the Guildford Road at this point. I won the lottery and got my lights and I assume they are still there. A similar set of lights at Collier Road across the Guildford Road would give cyclists safe crossing points at both ends of the new PSP with minimal extra infrastructure.
