Benefits
  • Improved safety for all road users.
  • Improved connectivity for people walking and riding through the intersection.
  • Improved travel time reliability for all road users travelling into and out of Kessels Road.

The intersection is currently signalised. Right turns from Orange Grove Road into Kessels Road use a green arrow. Drivers can also make a filtered right turn when they judge it is safe without a dedicated arrow.

Between 2017 and 2021, 9 crashes occurred at this intersection. Of these, 5 people were hospitalised and 4 people required medical treatment. Most crashes happened during filtered right turns, where drivers misjudged gaps in oncoming traffic.

Works will include:

  • installation of new mast arm and lanterns on Kessels Road
  • reconfigure the traffic signal phasing to provide a fully controlled right turn into Kessels Road
  • realign pedestrian crossings and reconstruct kerb ramps, new signage and line marking.

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

  • June 2026: End of construction.
