1. In order to effectively manage traffic flow and improve road safety, the general effect of the Prescribed Route Order would also be to construct the following traffic calming systems as follows:

   (a) on Pollard Road N20, so motorists travelling on Pollard Road will only be able to travel in an east to west direction with the exception of the area from Oakleigh Road North and a point 25 metres that does not intersect with Oakleigh Road North.
