Traffic signal network review

We’re undertaking the most comprehensive review and optimisation of our traffic light network since it was introduced to Melbourne almost 100 years ago.


More than 850 traffic signals sites in west, south-east, and east of Melbourne are being analysed and updated by our recently expanded team of signal engineers to create smoother journeys for road users.

Traffic Light Network Optimisation is now underway, and we aim to complete the remainder of metropolitan Melbourne by December 2023 - that’s over 3,000 traffic signals in three years.
