Road Hierarchy Map

The Road Hierarchy Map indicates the classifications of roads within the Town. Roads are identified under the following categories:-

Primary Distributor
Roads that provide for major regional and interregional traffic movement and carry large volumes of generally fast moving traffic.  Some are strategic freight routes and all are National or State roads.   They are managed and maintained by Main Roads.  For example Stirling Hwy and West Coast Hwy.

District Distributor (A)
Roads that carry traffic between industrial, commercial and residential areas and generally connect to Primary Distributors. These are likely to be truck routes and provide only limited access to adjoining property.  They are managed by Local Government.  For example Claremont Cres and Stirling Rd.

District Distributor (B)
Roads that perform a similar function to type A district distributors but with reduced capacity due to flow restrictions from access to and roadside parking alongside adjoining property.  These are often older roads with a traffic demand in excess of that originally intended.  District A and B roads run between land-use cells and generally not through them, forming a grid, which would ideally space them around 1.5km kilometres apart.  They are managed by Local Government.  For example Bay View Tce and Victoria Ave.

Local Distributor
Roads that carry traffic within a cell (area bounded by District Distributor roads) and link Distributors at the boundary to Access Roads. The route of the Local Distributor discourages through traffic so that the cell only carries traffic belonging to or serving that area.  These roads should accommodate buses but discourage trucks.  They are managed by Local Government.  For example Goldsworthy Rd and Davies Rd.

Access Road
Roads that provide access to abutting properties with amenity, safety and aesthetic aspects having priority over the vehicle movement function. These roads are bicycle and pedestrian friendly.  They are managed by Local Government.  For example Reserve St and Mary St.
