REPORT PURPOSE<br />
To address the issues presented by the Galbraith Road petition.<br />
Background<br />
A petition was forwarded to Council to express concerns regarding the high volume <strong>of</strong><br />
traffic and the speed <strong>of</strong> traffic travelling along Galbraith Road and requesting speed control<br />
devices be installed. The petition contained seventy eight signatures consisting <strong>of</strong> current<br />
residents, previous residents and other concerned members <strong>of</strong> the community in response<br />
to two fatalities that have occurred on Galbraith Road in the recent past.<br />
Road Description<br />
Council <strong>of</strong>ficers completed a site inspection and collected traffic count data in order to<br />
obtain a clear picture <strong>of</strong> the speed environment <strong>of</strong> the street. The street has one 90 degree<br />
bend at the Dampier Highway end and then runs straight to the intersection with Bathgate<br />
Road. One side <strong>of</strong> the road is fairly well developed with residential houses for a majority <strong>of</strong><br />
the road while the other side has the Pegs Creek Primary School, Karratha Community<br />
Centre, Cattrall Park and two churches with open space in between.<br />
