Benefits
  • Discourage non-local traffic.
  • Reduce speeding and corner cutting.
  • Provide safer and more accessible pedestrian crossing points.

This project is part of our Local Area Traffic Management program. It delivers improvements across Brisbane's local road precincts and suburbs to ensure safer and slower roads.

Following community engagement and review of recent traffic data, we installed:

  • speed platforms on Fifth, Eighth and Ninth avenues
  • a pedestrian refuge island and upgraded kerb and kerb ramps on Ninth Avenue at St Leonards Street
  • a pedestrian refuge island and upgraded kerb and kerb ramps on Baragoola Street at Sixth Avenue
  • a traffic island on Sixth Avenue near Baragoola Street
  • line marking, including yellow 'no stopping' lines.

  • 2021-2022: Community engagement.
  • April 2025: Start of construction.
  • July 2025: End of construction.
