Merri-bek, VIC trials a shared traffic zone for reduced speeds and congestion near Fleming Park

Merri-bek, VIC Shared Traffic Zone Trial Fleming Park

Merri-bek initiated the two-year pilot to accommodate increased traffic following the COVID-19 lockdown. The shared zone on Albert Street and Victoria Street allows all traffic but prioritizes pedestrians over bikes and cars. Temporary speed bumps and barriers that slow vehicle speeds can be moved based on ongoing feedback. Street furniture made from recycled wood and colorful road surface designs by a local artist create a welcoming environment for residents.
