The Black Spot program aims to enhance road safety and reduce the risk of serious injuries and fatalities. This initiative focuses on improving high-risk locations where accidents have occurred or are likely to occur.
Works are scheduled in for Mid-May 2025 start and will be completed by end of July 2025.
The road safety upgrades will be implemented at the following five locations:
Location 1: Existing school crossing close to Boundary Rd.
The school crossing will be upgraded to a raised pedestrian crossing. While the school crossing supervisor will continue to assist during school hours, pedestrians will now have the right of way outside these times as well.
