Ferntree Gully Road pedestrian operated signals, Oakleigh
We’re improving safety and connectivity for pedestrians, public transport users and the local community on the busy Ferntree Gully Road in Oakleigh.
Complete
Update - September 2026
Works to install pedestrian operated signals on Ferntree Gully Road between the Princes Highway and Stamford Street, Oakleigh, have been completed.
The signals have improved safety for public and active transport users, and improved connectivity between residential, recreational and commercial areas.
The new signals include a footpath with safety fencing on the centre median and improved street lighting, making it safer for pedestrians and bike riders to cross and reducing the likelihood and severity of crashes.
The new signals are linked to the nearby traffic signals to minimise any impacts to traffic flow.
The works also include a raised safety platform to improve the crossing on the left slip lane to Princes Highway.
Overview
The pedestrian operated signals will create a safe space to cross for people accessing nearby parks, childcare centres and retirement villages.
Ferntree Gully Road is a busy road carrying 22,000 vehicles each day with limited crossing points for pedestrians.
The signals will help connect people with Brickmakers Park, Hurst Reserve, shops, businesses nearby childcare centres, retirement villages and bus stops.
The safety improvements will support a wide range of users including people with disabilities, people using mobility aids and devices, people with prams, shopping, and delivery trolleys.
