Road Safety Improvements - Prahran - Proposal Plans
Trial a 30 km/h speed limit (down from 40 km/h) in the Council-managed section from Alexandra Avenue to Dandenong Road for an initial 18-month period. Safer speeds reduce both the likelihood and consequences of crashes and in Chapel Street would support more people to walk and cycle, creating a more pleasant environment. New speed signage would be installed. Trial would run for 18 months with further opportunities to provide feedback to help determine if it is made permanent.
Trial a 30km/hr speed limit (down from the current 40km/h) to improve safety for riders on this existing local bike route. Safer speeds reduce both the likelihood of, and the consequences of crashes. New speed signage would be installed. No other changes are proposed, and trial would run for 18 months with further opportunities to provide feedback to help determine if it is made permanent.

Build a raised pedestrian crossing on Porter Street at the intersection with High Street and extend the footpath. This would provide priority for pedestrians crossing in this busy area to access Prahran Railway Station, Route 6 tram stop and local shops on High Street. Raised crossings improve accessibility, and improve safety by making people walking more visible to drivers. The three exit lanes would be combined to one as there are low traffic volumes on Porter Street and the wide crossing distance is unsafe. Existing trees would be retained with scope to add additional trees and seating. Three parking spaces are proposed to be added to the west side, with one removed on the eastern side.
