About the project
The Black Spot Program is part of the Australian Government’s commitment to reduce crashes on Australian roads. The program aims to improve road safety by implementing upgrade measures at identified black spot locations. The intersection is one of four black spot locations Council is upgrading as part of the 2020-21 Black Spot Program.
Between July 2013 and May 2020 there were 15 crashes reported at the Industrial Avenue and Campbell Avenue intersection. Seven of these crashes resulted in hospitalisation, seven required medical treatment and one resulted in minor injury. The majority of crashes at the intersection were due to road users on Campbell Avenue failing to give way to road users on Industrial Avenue.
Project details
The upgrade has improved safety by replacing the priority-controlled intersection (give-way signs on Campbell Avenue) with a roundabout. The roundabout provides a low-speed environment through the intersection with increased visibility and awareness of vehicle priority.
The upgrade involved:
- installing a new roundabout and traffic islands at Industrial Avenue and Campbell Avenue
- constructing new 2.5m-wide shared paths and kerb ramps at all approaches at the intersection
- installing bike transition ramps
- installing new street lighting
- road resurfacing and line marking
- minor landscaping and turfing works.
