We are planning to install raised speed platforms on each of the four approaches to the Caulfield Avenue, Richmond Avenue and Whincops Road intersection, to slow vehicles as they enter the roundabout.
We are also panning to install a speed cushion on Whincops Road, near Ishwar Ganda Boulevard, to further slow vehicle speeds.
