Western Australia\u2019s Tonkin Highway is an 81 kilometre north\u2013south highway and partial freeway in Perth.<\/p>\n

Main Roads<\/a>\u2019 Tonkin Highway Extension and Thomas Road Upgrade project aimed to improve road safety and access for all road users with a federal and state government investment of AUD $1 billion to extend the highway and upgrade Thomas Road.<\/p>\n

To validate the safety of the proposed design and demonstrate improvements to the existing network, two iRAP assessments were conducted, one for the existing network and one for the proposed design.<\/p>\n

Arup, on behalf of Main Roads, was awarded iRAP Certification in 2023 verifying the design\u2019s achievement of a 5-star iRAP safety rating for pedestrians and bicyclists, a 4-star rating for vehicle occupants and a 3-star rating for motorcyclists.<\/p>\n

The results align with UN Target 3 to ensure all new roads adequately account for road safety by meeting a three-star or better rating for all road users by 2030.<\/p>\n

In presenting the award, iRAP Global Program Director and Acting CEO Greg Smith said, \u201cStar Rating for Designs is an essential free tool available to all road designers and authorities to help them achieve the minimum 3-star safety rating in their designs before construction begins. We applaud Main Roads\u2019 commitment to achieving 3-star and better in the Tonkin Highway design and, in particular, the fantastic 5-star safety rating for active users. The project and demonstrated innovation in its pursuit of iRAP Certification and the approach to managing horse movements, an important consideration in the local context. The project, and its comprehensive approach to road planning, is an inspiration for other major projects in Australia and the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

John Erceg, Managing Director Main Roads WA said, \u201cWe are delighted to receive the iRAP Gary Liddle \u201cRising Star\u201d Trophy recognition for our work on the Tonkin Highway. The Star Rating assessments verified the safety benefits of the proposed design and allowed recommendations to be implemented to improve safety for all road user groups before the commencement of civil works. Main Roads is working to ensure that investments in road infrastructure planning, design and construction align with safe system principles and UN Targets 3 and 4.\u201d<\/p>\n
