In general the treatment provided for the safety of school children is in the form of pedestrian refuges which provide crossing points over longer distances and are appropriate for the level of vehicular and pedestrian traffic conflict indicated in the traffic survey. The modified road cross section is expected to reduce vehicular speeds to be more consistent with the 60km/h speed limit but without the need for additional police enforcement.
In, a very limited number of locations, parking controls have
been installed adjacent to pedestrian refuge islands or in
other locations where vehicular or pedestrian safety would
be compromised by parked vehicles, such as the far side of
school frontage roads. _.
Additional footpaths have been constructed to ensure continuity of pedestrian and cycle pathways serving the childrens preferred route from residential school catchment areas to the respective primary school.

. new footpaths $75,000
. median treatments $211,850
. other works $20,000
TOTAL COST $306,850
