Using technology to keep Brisbane moving: Lord Mayor

Brisbane is growing quickly, so we need to find smarter ways to get more out of the roads we already have.

That’s why we’re launching Australia’s largest trial using AI technology to help traffic lights respond to changing conditions in real time.

From early 2027, we’ll use the technology at 37 intersections along Kelvin Grove Road and Logan Road, helping reduce queues, improve safety and get people where they’re going sooner.

We’ve already bucked the trend, with Brisbane being the only major Australian city to reduce congestion in 2025, according to the TomTom Traffic Index.

Now we’re using smarter technology to build on that progress and give people more time back in their day.
