Right, I will be reviewing this one and making straightforward copyedits as I go (please revert if I accidentally change the meaning) - I will jot queries below. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 00:32, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

...volume and congestion on Albany Highway, and - something got chopped off here...

 Done, removed trailing ", and" - Evad37 (talk) 11:17, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

A grade separated interchange.. & This traffic light controlled at-grade intersection - hyphen here (x2).

I have changed "grade separated" → "grade-separated" (x2), but could you clarify where an extra hyphen would go in "This traffic light controlled at-grade intersection"? ... The phrase "traffic light controlled" (no hyphens) is used in over 3600 Australian government webpages (*.gov.au) [1] - Evad37 (talk) 11:17, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

I would have thought "traffic light-controlled" but happy to defer to sources. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:26, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

Does the highway experience congestion at times of day?

Yes... but I'll have to look for some sources, otherwise its just OR. - Evad37 (talk) 11:17, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

Okay - will keep my fingers crossed - if nothing turns up after a day or two, then I will accept that the information is not accessible from a Reliable Source. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:32, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

Found a couple of sources that should do (noting URLs here, will write something in the article tomorrow)

• RAC media release, "average travel speed of 14km/h"
• Gateway WA project overview, "The precinct is already experiencing congestion with a number of intersections currently operating beyond capacity during peak periods."
• Also, MRWA traffic volume figures 2003/04 - 2008/09 (p.74)

- Evad37 (talk) 16:32, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

Yes, some good stuff there - I think the article will benefit. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 02:49, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

I've added a section on traffic volume, which will need to be copyedited and link-ified. I'll have a go at it sometime tomorrow, or feel free to jump in yourself. - Evad37 (talk) 15:41, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

 Done - Evad37 (talk) 02:22, 7 August 2013 (UTC)

have any major accidents occurred on it?

I've had a look, and I haven't found any I would consider major enough to warrant inclusion in the article - mostly single or no fatalities, mostly involving 1–2 vehicles (and most reports available online were in the past few years - Evad37 (talk) 11:17, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
