What we’ve done
To improve safety and traffic flow at Mahoneys Road and Edgars Road intersection, we have:
- widened Edgars Road to make space for a dedicated left turn lane to improve traffic flow
- realigned and installed a pedestrian crossing controlled by traffic lights across the left turn slip lane on Edgars Road
- installed mast arms to make the traffic lights more visible to motorists approaching the intersection
- installed safety barriers on the centre island and left hand side of Edgars Road to prevent side-on crashes
- installed a bike off-ramp on Edgars Road near Horne Street so bike riders use the intersection safely
- installed new street lights and signs at the intersection and resurface sections of Edgars Road and Mahoneys Road
- removed trees on Edgars Road where we widened the road and installed new safety barriers.
