About this event
In September 2025, after two years of development the new Application and Technical Guidelines for Pedestrian Crossing Facilities was released by Main Roads WA. The guideline provides best practice advice on the provision of the most suitable pedestrian crossing facilities for safer, accessible, and convenient pedestrian movements.
Application of the guidelines, particular at a Local Government level will result in significant safety and accessibility improvements for pedestrians.
This event will provide information on the key elements of the guideline along with a question and answer session.
Registrations close, Monday 2 March 2026.
