Project description

This intersection at Wynnum Road and Hemmant-Tingalpa Road is currently unsignalised and operates with a give way sign on Hemmant-Tingalpa Road, giving priority to motorists travelling along Wynnum Road. High traffic volumes and extended wait times experienced at the intersection contribute to motorists misjudging safe gaps in traffic when turning into and out of Hemmant-Tingalpa Road. To address safety concerns and improve travel time reliability, we are proposing to upgrade the intersection by installing traffic signals to control all movements at the intersection. To improve accessibility and connectivity for people walking and riding, we will also be installing signalised pedestrian crossings and new footpaths. The project will upgrade the Wynnum Road and Hemmant-Tingalpa Road intersection through installing new traffic lights with signalised crossing facilities, and modifying the centre traffic islands on Wynnum Road and constructing dedicated turn pockets on all approaches to the intersection to separate turning vehicles from through traffic. These changes will improve the overall operation of the intersection, making it safer and easier for all road users. Source of additional funding is Brisbane City Council, they are WH&S accredited, this has been awarded internally.
