Member for Nanango Deb Frecklington says she has received confirmation that further works to improve safety on the Haly Street Pedestrian Crossing are on their way.
Mrs Frecklington says that Transport and Main Roads will start works on 1st June to construct a raised concrete island on the southern side of the crossing.
“This raised island will help pedestrians to wait more safely, closer to the traffic lane, as well as improve the visibility of pedestrians about to cross the road to passing motorists,” Mrs Frecklington said.
“Some tactile ground surface indicators will also be put in place to assist the vision impaired.”
“Earlier this year the crossing was repainted, so all together, I hope these improvements will make a real difference to people crossing Haly Street.
“I’m glad that I was able assist the community to have their concerns addressed,” Deb said.
TMR have advised that traffic control measures will be put in place while the works are underway and road users should expect minor delays. Roadworks will take approximately one week to complete (weather permitting).
