The proposed treatment aims to address a number of issues at this location:

  • High volumes of traffic.
  • Conflicts between pedestrians, cyclists and drivers.
  • Lack of pedestrian crossing facilities.

What is the proposed treatment?

The proposal includes:

  • Pedestrian crossings on all four sides of the intersection.
  • Speed cushions before the pedestrian crossings either side of the intersection on Trenerry Crescent.
  • A road hump on Turner Street on the west side of the intersection.
  • Bike lanes end early to encourage cyclists to 'claim the lane' and share road space with vehicles through the roundabout, rather than staying left.
