The emphasis on using the road network more effectively and efficiently has grown significantly over recent years. With this, the need to manage our existing road space more effectively will be of paramount importance. Access management is a key component to achieving this goal. Access management focuses on ensuring the safety and efficiency of the road network, by providing appropriate access to adjoining properties.

More Information For more information please contact: Output Regional Roads VicRoads – South Western Region on 133 778 Project delivered: • Installation of a dedicated bus lane (additional bus traffic signal provides priority access opportunity for the bus to bypass peak traffic queuing) • Line-marking Cost & Duration • The bus jump lane was delivered under the original budget. • The project was delivered on time and within the expected time frames. Working with others During the development of this project, RRV worked with key stakeholders including City of Greater Geelong, Public Transport Victoria, McHarry’s Bus Lines, Utility authorities and the general community including businesses and residents. Figure 1 – Before Benefits Achieved Improved Road Safety • Safer Public Transport network for busses when merging into through traffic with a clear lane to the front and cross the intersection prior to other vehicles. Bus jump lanes not only improved the travel times, but also more consistent and more usage. Improved transport efficiency • Increased the Public Transport reliability along the route, it also decreased the travel time as the traffic built up. Travel time data indicates that travel time for busses have been recused by 45 seconds in the AM peak and 1.48 seconds in the PM peak. Figure 2 – After .
