Figure 13 Alawoona Road “Burnout Marks Midblock”<br />

<br />

Road Geometry<br />

Alawoona Road is located on the western side <strong>of</strong> <strong>Munno</strong> <strong>Para</strong> and extends <strong>for</strong> the entire length <strong>of</strong> the<br />

suburb <strong>for</strong>ming a linkage between northern and southern parts <strong>of</strong> the suburb. This road is wide and<br />

straight and is conducive to high speeds. It has been voiced by the community the road is attractive<br />

<strong>for</strong> “drag racing”. The bends in the road are a concern <strong>for</strong> residents who have raised safety concerns<br />

due to the observed speeds which drivers negotiate these bends. Anti-social driving such as<br />

doughnuts has also been observed and it is suggested they occur more commonly at the junctions <strong>of</strong><br />

adjoining roads with Alawoona Road. The long open straights and open space abutting the road can<br />

give the feel <strong>of</strong> open wide space contributing to the higher speeds. Figure 14 highlights the open<br />

space and straight section <strong>of</strong> road along Alawoona Road.<br />
