dual carriageway for most of its length, and changes to a two-way road west of Marmion Avenue. A number of major intersections cross the road, most of which are controlled by traffic light or roundabouts. The most significant intersection is a large two-lane roundabout crossing with Marmion Avenue. The roundabout was constructed shortly after Currambine Marketplace was opened in1997 . New traffic lights were constructed between Shenton Avenue and Grand Boulevard in the late 1990s. More new traffic lights were developed around the mid-2000s, where Shenton Avenue crosses with Pontiac Way and McLarty Avenue.By
