Consultation has concluded

Do you live on or near Quintilian Road, or use Quintilian Road on a regular basis? If so, the City would like to hear from you.

The City has received funding from the Roads to Recovery Program to improve the safety of Quintilian Road, as a result of resident concerns and City investigations in relation to road safety, non-local traffic use and inappropriate use by motorists.

Quintilian Road is a local access road carrying approximately 2,000 vehicles per day, with 85 per cent of motorists driving at a maximum speed of 57 km/hour. The posted speed on Quintilian Road is 50 km/hour.

The City has considered the traffic management issues and impacts on the local road network and is proposing to install traffic calming devices, parking and a new shared pathway.

  • Parallel parking both sides of the road adjacent to Quintilian School.
  • 6m traffic lane width adjacent to Quintilian School.
  • Installation of rubber or asphalt speed cushions at the east end of Quintilian School and mid-block between Tuart Entrance and Stubbs Terrace.
  • Parallel parking both sides of the road at the residential, eastern end of Quintilian Road.
  • 5.5m traffic lane width at the residential, eastern end of Quintilian Road.
  • 2.5m wide shared path on the northern verge of Quintilian Road between Brockway Road and the Perth-Fremantle shared path on Stubbs Terrace.

An update on progress of this project is provided in the Newsfeed below.

  • Share After reviewing the plan, it seems the objectives of the project don’t solve the real problem on Quintilian; a local access road is being used as a rat run to get onto Stubbs or Brockway depending which way you are going. Why don’t you close the road off to stop this access and therefore make the road safe for all uses at a fraction of the cost? on Facebook Share After reviewing the plan, it seems the objectives of the project don’t solve the real problem on Quintilian; a local access road is being used as a rat run to get onto Stubbs or Brockway depending which way you are going.

    This was investigated in 18/19. 

    In December 2018, Council approved a proposed left-out only partial closure of Quintilian Road at Brockway Road for the purposes of consultation to address the proportion of commercial vehicles. The partial closure was chosen because it would have the greatest impact on commercial vehicles while still promoting the anti-clockwise (safest) rotation around the school. The commercial vehicle traffic increase from 4.3% in March 2017 to 4.8% in March 2019 actually represents a decrease from 86 vehicles to 84 vehicles in reality. However, it is still greater than an anticipated 3.0% (less than 60 vehicles average for Local Access Road with this traffic volume). 

    Consultation of the proposed partial closure was undertaken between 12 February 2019 and 4 March 2019. The City received 217 items of feedback via Your Voice Nedlands (feedback, survey), emails and submissions of which there is overwhelming opposition (82%) to the proposal.

    Council Minutes 23 April 2019 show Resolution TS07.19 that Council does not support the proposed left-out only partial road closure of Quintilian Road at Brockway Road.

  • Share I am happy to see a proposed shared path for cyclists on Quintlian road. Is anything going to be done about the cycle path on Alfred road? The cycle path along side the road has parked cars in it all day. The exit, by car, onto Alfred road from St. Peter's Square is not safe. If 4 wheels drives are parked near the exit from St Peter's Square, which is common, one has to look up the footpath to the roundabout in order to see if any cars are coming and ensure they are all accounted for as they pass before driving out. Cyclists along Alfred road have to ride around the cars. The cycle path is used as a car park. I assume it is parking for the train. Quintilian road is also used as a car park. I note that Claremont council has put up 2 hour limit parking signs on the streets near the train station. Perhaps people should be encouraged to park in the Transperth carpark in Claremont rather than on cycle paths on Alfred Road and along Quintilian road so as to create a safer area for everyone and to provide parking for parents collecting children from Quintilian school.I do hope that parking for parents will be designated so that train users cannot use the spots. I note also that cars are parked all day along Stubbs Terrace. The only saving grace here is that there is a designated cycle path along the railway. To conclude, since Transperth started charging for parking at train stations there has been a significant increase in cars being parked all days in streets where it is free around Karrakatta train station. on Facebook Share I am happy to see a proposed shared path for cyclists on Quintlian road.
