Every day, parents, teachers, and local residents in Carine, WA, face the challenges of navigating the busy intersection of Alvaston Drive and Beach Road, especially during school hours. This intersection has become a hotspot for traffic congestion, near-miss accidents, and frustration among the community. As it stands, the lack of traffic control measures is putting the safety of our children and pedestrians at risk.

With Carine, Poynter and Davalia Primary School and other educational institutions located nearby, the morning and afternoon rush periods see a significant increase in foot traffic and vehicles. According to local traffic data, this intersection experiences elevated traffic volumes between 8:00-9:00 AM and 3:00-4:00 PM on weekdays, directly aligning with school start and end times. This safety risk is exacerbated by drivers who struggle to identify clear right-of-way, often leading to hazardous situations.

The introduction of traffic lights at this critical junction would regulate vehicle flow, minimize congestion, and most importantly, ensure the safety of children and all road users. Local campaigns and community meetings have consistently echoed the demand for improved traffic management solutions at this location. It's time for local authorities to listen to these voices and take proactive steps in safeguarding our community.

We're calling on the City of Stirling and relevant transport authorities to prioritize the installation of traffic lights at the Alvaston Drive-Beach Road intersection. Immediate action is necessary to prevent potential accidents, improve traffic conditions, and enhance road safety for everyone in Carine, WA.
