Project description

Ellison and Kirby Roads are classified as district roads under the Brisbane City Plan 2014. Kirby Road provides access to residential areas of Aspley as well as providing an alternative route to Gympie Road which is classified as an Arterial road. The intersection is priority controlled with 'Stop' signage on Kirby Road. The Ellison Road and Kirby Road intersection carries approximately 16,000 vehicles per day. Significant queuing is occurring due to continuous traffic and high traffic volumes on Ellison Road in peak periods, preventing vehicles undertaking turning movements in and out of Kirby Road. Numerous safety concerns with turning movements into Ellison Road and Kirby Road. The blind crest between Kirby Road and Webster Road does not allow drivers to see vehicles coming from Webster Road until they have reached the crest. Sight distances from Ellison Road(east) are also poor due to parked vehicles and continuous traffic coming from Ellison Road.

The project objective is to improve safety and overall intersection operation for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians, by installing traffic lights at the intersection. Install traffic signals at the intersection of Ellison and Kirby Road with controlled signalised pedestrian facilities, provide dedicated turning lanes out of Kirby Road into Ellison Road and extending the right turn pocket from Ellison Road into Kirby Road.

Total cost of proposed project is $3,881,195
