Abstract

VicRoads has recognised the need to manage competing demands through the development of a mode-based Hierarchy of Road Use for managing competing demands. The Hierarchy of Road Use is described; this provides the network context for route management plans. Issues that arose in the development of route management plans for two quite different metropolitan arterial roads are outlined. While decisions of balance are yet to be made at time of publication, some options and future directions are considered. Stud Road is an outer-suburban cross-town route that features the competing demands of buses, freight vehicles, general traffic, bicycles and pedestrians. The role of Stud Road will change following the opening of the parallel Mitcham-Frankston Project (EastLink)' in 2008. Johnston Street is an inner-suburban radial route that also features buses, general traffic and bicycles, but with heavy pedestrian flows due to the nature of the abutting land use.
