At the Cockburn Road and Rockingham Road intersection, which forms the southern terminus of the road, traffic bound for Fremantle arrives from Spearwood and Kwinana further south, and is brought through a high-density residential area, and past Fremantle Hospital and Fremantle Prison, two of Fremantle's landmarks.
