The VAGO released a report on Managing Traffic Congestion on Friday 19 April 2013. Take a look at the report here
Twelve recommendations were made in the report. Of note is that VicRoads is to develop a strategy, in consultation with local councils, to better leverage the potential of clearways for managing congestion along the arterial road network.
It is also recommended that VicRoads:
-
develops measures and targets for network efficiency and congestion management initiatives in consultation with stakeholders
-
systematically reviews the efficiency and effectiveness of its operational management of the road system
-
develops a strategy, including time frames, for implementing Network Operating Plans and activating SmartRoads priorities across the metropolitan road network
-
improves the frequency and targeting of its traffic signal reviews by leveraging available congestion data from SCATS (Sydney Coordinated Adaptive Traffic System)
Seven of the recommendations relate to Department of Transport.
