Kensington residents are fearing for their safety as they say the opening of the $10 billion West Gate Tunnel has sparked a spike in trucks rat-running in roads near schools and shops.
While no-truck zones and a curfew were implemented across the inner west when the tunnel opened, these do not apply to Kensington.
Kensington Business Association president Sean McConville said traffic was already bad at the local shopping strip before the tunnel opened but had since become “excessive” and was hurting traders.
“We had problems with a lot of trucks before, but now it’s the big B-doubles using the street more than we expected,” said McConville, who owns the Brickville toy store.

McConville’s 11-year-old daughter walks to school, but he instructed her to cross the road only at traffic lights and stay away from zebra crossings.

There’s no way the trucks coming down this hill can actually see them [pedestrians] crossing the road during peak hour,” he said.
“It’s petrifying, a lot of the parents in the area complained – definitely the last few months.”

Residents’ concerns focus on Epsom, Macaulay and Kensington roads. The latter connects to Dynon Road and eventually Williamstown Road – the last exit off the West Gate Freeway before tolling starts.

The three roads contain homes, a church, a childcare centre, shops, eateries, a recreation centre and a primary school, with another school close by. The intersection of all three is plastered with posters promoting a petition for no-truck zones and curfews.
