We've installed traffic signals at the Wiltshire Lane and Glenelg Highway intersection near Delacombe Town Centre to improve traffic flow and safety.

Project status:

Complete

Update - November 2024  

This project was completed in 2024.

Background

This intersection meets with Smythes Road and Cherry Flat Road making it a critical connection point to Sebastopol, Lucas and Delacombe.

Recent developments in the area, including the Delacombe Town Centre, resulted in a significant increase in traffic using the former roundabout.

More than 15,000 vehicles use this intersection each day, including around 700 vehicles each per hour during peak periods. This is expected to increase by 50 per cent by 2041.

This upgrade provides a safer crossing point for pedestrians and cyclists accessing the Delacombe Town Centre and other nearby shops and facilities in the area.

About the upgrades

The upgrade included:
 

  • replacing the roundabout with traffic lights and installing dedicated turning lanes
  • additional access point from service road north of the intersection to Wiltshire Lane
  • ‘Keep Clear’ marking along Wiltshire Lane to assist vehicles entering/exiting Edgewood Court
  • Dedicated right-hand turn lane from Wiltshire Lane into Edgewood Court/service road
  • adding bicycle boxes at the traffic signals
  • new lightning and landscaping
  • a concrete central median to improve safety.
