What we're doing
We propose installing three raised speed humps to slow traffic as they approach the roundabout from:
- Wilsons Road South
- Both approaches on Centaurus Road
We propose creating two new crossing points in the existing islands on:
- Wilsons Road South
- Centaurus Road east side
We are also:
- Increasing the width of the existing crossing point on Centaurus Road west.
- Putting in new pedestrian markings on the footpath on Albert Terrace corner by Mobil to highlight the pedestrian space, making it safer.
- Removing one tree on Centaurus Road east to help with visibility when crossing the road. Two new trees will be planted in the area.
- Installing a small speed hump outside the Mobil garage to slow cars as they exit.
- Removing the disused ‘Kea’ Crossing on Wilsons Road South. The kerb buildouts will be kept.
