Project update - December 2024

In February 2024 we conducted a community survey to better understand how people use and experience these intersections, and where improvements could be made.

The feedback we received has been invaluable in informing our investigative study to look at treatment options to improve safety and traffic flow in and around the intersections.

Treatments being investigated include changes to traffic light sequencing and timing to better manage traffic flow, adjustments to line marking, changes to turning movements and the addition of clearer signage to help with navigation and reduce congestion.

Please note, we have undertaken this planning study to investigate potential treatment options. Once completed, we will submit a proposal for improvements to be considered as part of a future funding program.

We will continue to provide updates to the community as this planning process progresses.

Project background

The Department of Transport and Planning are undertaking investigations to inform planning for future safety improvements at the intersections of Nepean Highway, Station Street and McLeod Road in Carrum.

In February 2020, the level crossing at Station Street in Carrum was removed as part of the Victorian Government’s Level Crossing Removal Project.

In addition to the crossing removal, the intersection of Station Street and McLeod Road was upgraded from a T-intersection to a multi-leg cross intersection and a new direct connection from McLeod Road to Nepean Highway was opened under the elevated train line.

The intersections, elevated train line, and neighbouring railway station form a complex environment that attracts a high volume of vehicles and pedestrians.
