Russell Terrace in Woodville, between Woodville Road and David Terrace, is a local street that sits along the strategic bike network, creating connections to and from local destinations.

Russell Terrace is due for road rehabilitation, which is currently scheduled for the 2024/25 financial year. When a road project is identified, we also undertake a review of the road safety, amenity and stormwater flow to see if any further improvements or changes need to be made.

As part of the review for the road rehabilitation works, it was identified that the single lane raised intersections currently along Russell Terrace are due for renewal. However, these raised intersections no longer meet current Australian Standards and technical requirements and therefore need to be replaced. These traffic control devices were originally installed to address complaints over the years of vehicles travelling at high speeds along this stretch of road and that use it as a ‘cut-through’ between Woodville Road and David Terrace.

To coincide with the planned road rehabilitation works, the single lane raised intersections will be removed and two-way intersections will be installed to improve traffic flow at these locations. However, by removing the single lane intersections this will reduce the level of traffic calming currently along Russell Terrace.

To compensate for this reduction in traffic calming, it is proposed that new traffic control devices be installed at intervals along Russell Terrace to slow traffic flow.

We have developed two traffic treatment options, designed to slow traffic to improve safety along Russell Terrace for drivers, pedestrians and cyclists.
