Mayor Barry McKenna said the survey showed about 60 vehicles a day undertook the illegal manoeuvre.

“The speed in the area is low with vehicles generally travelling at or below 37km/h,” he said.

Cr McKenna said the city would present options to fix the danger to a councillor workshop in February. “Options to be considered by the council include more defined line-marking and kerbing to channel vehicles into the appropriate direction, the creation of a raised plateau to reduce speed and the reconfiguration of the area to create a two way slow point,” he said.

Maylands MLA Lisa Baker helped residents lobby the City and said it was a “pretty good outcome.”
