Project information

Upgrade works on the Ashmore Road and Glenmore Drive / Freda Street roundabout in Ashmore are now complete.

The intersection was identified as having a higher than average crash rate. A road safety audit identified opportunities to reduce conflict points.

The safety upgrade includes:

adding in traffic calming features (such as horizontal deflections) to encourage cars to slow down
removing on-road bike lanes to encourage cyclists to transition off-road while crossing through the intersection
widening the existing footpath and upgrading the road to improve its condition
adding cut-throughs to traffic islands to encourage pedestrians walking through the intersection.

The project will reduce the likelihood of traffic incidents and improve safety for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians.

Road safety improvements through encouragement of speed reduction and improvements to line of sight.
Enhanced off-road facilities for pedestrians and cyclists.
