Benefits
  • Improved safety for all road users.
  • Improved connectivity for people walking and riding through the intersection.
  • Improved intersection operation.

Between 2017 and 2024, there were 8 crashes at the intersection. They caused one hospitalisation, 6 medical treatments and one minor injury. Of these, 6 included pedestrians or cyclists.

Restricting movements and upgrading walking and riding facilities will help reduce crash risks. These changes will make the intersection safer for everyone.

Works will included:

  • changing Doggett Street and Robertson Street to left out only
  • installing new traffic islands on Robertson Street and Doggett Street
  • extending the kerb out on 3 corners to allow for the new intersection layout
  • widening the on-road cycle lanes
  • upgrading the line marking and signage at the intersection.

This project is proudly funded by the Australian Government’s Black Spots Program.
