Factsheet – Hale Road / Tonkin Highway Intersection

Gateway WA Perth Airport and Freight Access Project

April 2014
Hale Road / Tonkin Highway intersection
Gateway WA will be
constructing a new
interchange at the
intersection of Tonkin
Highway and
Roe Highway improving
the flow of traffic on
Tonkin Highway.
The existing interchange will be
upgraded to a partial freeway to
freeway interchange, allowing
uninterrupted movement from
Tonkin Highway southbound to Roe
Highway westbound, reducing overall
congestion on Tonkin Highway.
To improve the safety and efficiency
of Tonkin Highway and the overall
performance at the intersection with
Hale Road, some modifications will be
required to the existing movements.
The right turn movement from
Tonkin Highway southbound to
Hale Road westbound will need to
be permanently removed as there
is insufficient distance for vehicles
entering from the Tonkin Highway
onramp from Roe Highway to safely
merge across through traffic to enter
the right-hand lane to make this
movement.
Traffic wanting to access Hale Road
westbound from Tonkin Highway
southbound will be able to turn left
from Tonkin Highway southbound
to Hale Road eastbound and utilise
the roundabout at Reynolds Road
/Morrison Road to come back
through the Tonkin Highway and
Hale Road intersection.
Motorists can also continue on
Tonkin Highway southbound, turn
right onto Welshpool Road East and
then turn right onto Hale Road.
All other traffic movements at the
Tonkin Highway and Hale Road
intersection will remain the same.
The Tonkin Highway and Hale Road
intersection is under consideration
by Main Roads for a future upgrade,
but is not a part of the Gateway WA
project.
Accordingly, the traffic signal design
will be amended to remove the
right turn with signs and pavement
markings also modified to inform road
users of the change.
