REVIEW OF OPERATIONS Development Transport Project delivery Appendix 1 contains details of progress on all major works. RTA result: The road transport Motorways system supports reliable and effi cient movement of people and goods M2 Motorway upgrade The RTA received a proposal to enhance and widen the M2 Hills Motorway (M2) from Transurban which holds the concession for the motorway. The proposal includes widening sections of the motorway from two to three lanes and construction of new west-facing ramps at Windsor Road and east-facing ramps near Herring Road, Macquarie Park. The M2 is one of Sydney’s busiest road corridors, providing an important link in the Sydney Orbital between the Westlink M7 Motorway (M7) and the Lane Cove Tunnel and carrying around The NSW road transport system 100,000 vehicle trips and more than 17,000 bus passengers a day.

A key RTA role is the management of traffi c on the road system. The RTA leads the world in technology to promote the effi cient movement of traffi c. The RTA also takes the lead in managing traffi c during major planned events and unplanned incidents. This chapter outlines the RTA’s management of the road transport system over the past year. It is divided into four main sections: Development – major projects and developments on motorways and other roads.

Pacifi c Highway Upgrading Program The Pacifi c Highway not only links Sydney and Brisbane, but also passes through regions that continue to experience NSW’s highest rates of population growth. This growth has increased pressure on the road transport system. In response, the RTA has overseen improvements in road infrastructure to allow safe and effi cient transport along the route. The Pacifi c Highway is part of the National Land Transport Network. The Australian and NSW governments have been Motorway Projects Branch representatives visit the M5 East fi ltration jointly upgrading the Pacifi c Highway since 1996. site in March 2010. The Pacifi c Highway upgrade is being delivered in three stages: • Stage 1: Hexham to Port Macquarie, Raleigh to Woolgoolga and Ballina to the Queensland border. • Stage 2: Port Macquarie to Raleigh. • Stage 3: Woolgoolga to Ballina. REVIEW OF OPERATIONS TRANSPORT 21 Together, the State and Australian governments have committed $3.6 billion to continue the upgrade of the highway over fi ve years to mid 2014 to complete Stage 1 and start Stage 2. By June 2010, 322km of the highway’s 667km length were double-lane divided road. Since 1995, travel time savings of about 80 minutes and 70 minutes for heavy and light vehicles respectively have been achieved. A further 79km of highway are under construction, 20km under preconstruction, 115km under environmental impact assessment, and all other sections have the preferred route identifi ed, with concept designs fi nalised for most of these. The number of fatal crashes has fallen from 32 in 1996 to 19 in 2009, despite a 50 per cent increase in traffi c on much of the highway.
