Route description

Grand Promenade is part of state route 55 for its entire length. It commences at Morley Drive, in Dianella, traveling south in a straight line through residential areas before terminating at Railway Parade in Bayswater.^[1] It is managed by the City of Stirling from the northern terminus to Walter Road, and the City of Bayswater from Walter Road to the southern terminus. It is a four-lane duel carriageway with a speed limit of 60km/h for its entire length.^[2]

Grand Promenade starts at a traffic light controlled T-intersection with Morley Drive. From there, it bends a little to the east, then continues on straight, traveling through residential areas. After 0.8 kilometres (0.50 mi), it comes to a traffic light controlled intersection with Alexander Drive. Just after there, Grand Promenade passes Dianella Plaza Shopping Centre.^[3] After 1.7 kilometres (1.1 mi), Grand Promenade crosses over into Bedford, in the City of Bayswater, at Walter Road. After another 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi), Grand Promenade intersects Beaufort Street at a traffic light controlled intersection. Soon after, at York Street, it crosses over into Bayswater, then, after 1.0 kilometre (0.62 mi), Grand Promenade terminates at a traffic light controlled T-intersection with Railway Parade, near a small commercial area, and Meltham railway station.^[1]
