Safety work finished at busy intersection

Safety improvements at the Anzac Ave/Victoria Ave/Recreation St intersection in Redcliffe are now complete.

Work started in February and was funded by the Australian and Queensland governments, under the Australian Government's Road Safety Program. Improvements include:

• Modifying traffic signals to include a green arrow controlling right turns from Anzac Ave into Victoria Ave
• Removing the slip lane on Recreation St and the traffic island to improve visibility
• Modifying the traffic signals to include a green arrow to control left turns from Recreation S to Anzac Ave
• Removing the informal pedestrian crossing on Anzac Ave
• Installing a signalised pedestrian crossing across the western section of Anzac Ave
• Installing Disability Discrimination Act 1992 compliant pedestrian ramps and pedestrian crossings
• Installing low-speed entry and exit ramps on the shared path from Recreation St into Anzac Ave for bike riders
• LED lighting and vegetation trimming.

“We're committed to making walking and riding a safe and convenient alternative transport option for Queenslanders,” State Transport and Roads Minister Mark Bailey said.

Queensland Health Minister and Member for Redcliffe Yvette D’Ath said: “I would like to thank the community for its patience and cooperation while we delivered this important safety upgrade."
