In response to this challenge, the Traffic Congestion Management Program was launched by the Minister for Transport in 2013.

The Program involves a wide range of projects designed to target known congestion hot spots across the Perth metropolitan area to help Keep Perth Moving.

A number of projects have already been delivered with many others to be implemented over the next five years. More information on the Program can be found on our website.

1. Kwinana Freeway Merging Trial	6. Hay Street and Causeway Slip Lane
New line markings at the Berrigan Drive, Beeliar Drive and Russell Road northbound on ramps are being trialled to see if they help make merging easier for road users and improve traffic flow on the Freeway.	An additional left turning lane was introduced to improve capacity and allow for an even spread of traffic across both lanes. This low cost solution has reduced traffic queuing through the intersection at Hay Street, Braithwaite Road and Trinity Avenue by 4.5%.
2. Northbridge Tunnel and Mitchell Freeway	7. Canning Highway Traffic Signal Optimisation
An extra lane in the Tunnel in each direction and the widening of Mitchell Freeway northbound has seen an improvement in the reliability of travel times and increased capacity by an additional 15,000 vehicles accessing the Tunnel on average per day.	Improvements to traffic signal timing phases at key intersections along the highway from Riseley Street to Henley Street has improved traffic flow, moving approximately 230 more vehicles during the peak period.
3. Graham Farmer Freeway	8. Roe Highway Off Ramp Review
New line markings at the Berrigan Drive, Beeliar Drive and Russell Road northbound on ramps are being trialled to see if they help make merging easier for road users and improve traffic flow on the Freeway.	The review will investigate possible improvements to the Karel Avenue (westbound), Willeri Drive (east and westbound), Nicholson Road (westbound), and Orrong Road (northbound) off ramps.
4. CBD Projects	9. South Street and Murdoch Drive
Includes a range of improvement projects and trials including improved roadworks management and coordination, CCTV expansion, introduction of parallel walks, a dedicated CBD incident response service, and clearway management.	The upgrade has increased the capacity of the intersection, improved pedestrian and cycling facilities, and has provided safer access in and out of the Fiona Stanley Hospital and surrounding areas.
5. Point Lewis Roundabout	10. Kwinana Freeway Widening
New traffic signals on the eastbound approach have helped decrease queue lengths at this busy intersection by approximately 700 metres.	Widening of the freeway southbound between Roe Highway and Armadale Road is expected to increase capacity and improve traffic flow.
