About the project
To address community concerns about vehicles speeding and hooning in this location, we have increased safety by adding new speed platforms, extending the kerb and reducing the speed limit to 40 km/hr at the intersection.
The project also improved bus turning movements by realigning Butterfield Street and Clyde Road at the approach to the intersection. New pedestrian refuge islands will assist people walking and riding to safety cross the intersection.
This project was jointly funded by the Australian Government through the Roads to Recovery Program and Brisbane City Council.
