New pedestrian traffic lights on Hall Road near Rowellyn Avenue, Carrum Downs
We’re installing a pedestrian crossing controlled by traffic lights on Hall Road near Rowellyn Avenue to make it safer and easier for pedestrians to cross Hall Road.
Planned
Project update – January 2025
Works are expected to begin in March 2025, with construction expected to be completed by mid-2025.
From March 2025 we will install new street lighting and pedestrian traffic lights. Where possible we will schedule works during the school holidays and on weekends to minimise impacts on the school community who use the crossing. We will reconstruct the pedestrian crossing during day works in April 2025. Following this we will need to undertake some night works for asphalting.
Please note there may be a delay between the completion of civil works and the switch on of lighting which is subject to connection and activation by the external power authority.
Construction dates are subject to weather conditions and the contractor’s program of works.
What to expect during works
- Lane closures on Hall Road at the work site.
- No right turn allowed from Rowellyn Avenue into Hall Road, with a detour U-turn at Lyrebird Drive.
- The U-turn lane on approach to the pedestrian crossing on Hall Road will be closed, with a detour U-turn at Lyrebird Drive.
- No parking within the work site on Hall Road. We will contact affected property owners and work to maintain access.
- A reduced speed limit during works to ensure the safety of crews and all road users.
- Some vibrations and dust around the work site.
We will update the community before major construction works begin and before night works.
What we’re doing
- Installing pedestrian traffic lights at the existing pedestrian crossing.
- Reconstructing and widening the pedestrian crossing to meet accessibility requirements.
- Installing new pedestrian tactiles and new posts for the pedestrian fencing.
- Installing a flashing ‘No Right Turn’ sign during school times from Rowellyn Avenue into Hall Road.
- Upgrading street lighting and extending the guard rail in the median.
- Road surface improvement works.

Why we’re doing it
We’ve heard from the local community that it is difficult for pedestrians, including school children, to safely cross Hall Road at various times of the day.
This project will:
- Improve pedestrian safety for people crossing Hall Road near Rowellyn Avenue.
- Make it easier for pedestrians to cross Hall Road to access nearby community facilities and public transport.
- Create a safer environment for pedestrians and bike riders waiting to cross Hall Road during peak times, particularly during school drop off and pick up times.
Changes to on-street parking
To ensure the safe operation of the new pedestrian traffic lights and to keep pedestrians and road users safe, street parking will change near the intersection of Hall Road and Rowellyn Avenue.
The existing time based no stopping zones will change to no stopping at any time outside properties 173, 175, 176, 177 and 178 Hall Road. Parking restrictions will change once the new pedestrian traffic lights are in operation.
