Hertford Street (Glenelg Highway) and Albert Street (Midland Highway) intersection

We’ve installed traffic signals at the Hertford Street (Glenelg Highway) and Albert Street (Midland Highway) intersection to improve traffic flow and safety.

Project status:

Planned

Update – July 2024 

Background

This intersection connects two highways that meet in the heart of Sebastopol’s commercial centre.

Approximately 2900 vehicles use this intersection each hour during peak times. This is expected to increase by 50 per cent by 2041. There were 16 crashes in this area between 2014 and 2019.

There is considerable pedestrian activity in this area due to the intersection’s proximity to shops, food outlets, schools and aged care facilities.
