Rosstown Rail Trail improvements

We’ve been busy improving safety for users of the Rosstown Rail Trail, including updating signs along the 7.4-kilometre trail from Elsternwick to Hughesdale to help people stay on the track.

A key safety improvement is raising pavements or adding in speed humps to slow traffic and make the local streets safer for everyone. We’ve also added bike stencils on the route and extra ‘share the road’ signs to remind and encourage all road users to practice safe and courteous behaviour.

We’ve now completed the upgrades from Riddle Parade to Murrumbeena Crescent, and connected the Trail to Carnegie Memorial Swimming Pool via Moira Avenue and Albert Road.
