Council has received feedback from the community requesting safety improvements at the Waterloo Road and Banksia Road Greenacre intersection. The key concerns at this high pedestrian activity site are the high number of accidents and, illegal driving manoeuvres taking place.

At the current time, the intersection is signposted "No Right Turn" and it is illegal for motorists to turn right from Banksia Road onto Waterloo Road

Council is currently investigating and seeking community comments and feedback on the proposal to install:

• A median island on Waterloo Road at the intersection with Banksia Road, Greenacre; and
• No Right Turn signage on Waterloo Road preventing motorists (heading in a southerly direction) to turn right onto Banksia Road.

The key benefit for installing a median island at this site is that the device will restrict illegal right turn movements from Banksia Road. However it also prevents motorists on Waterloo Road ( heading in a southerly direction) to turn right into Banksia Road. Council is in discussions with Punchbowl Bus Company to determine an alternate route for bus services that currently turn right from Waterloo Road into Banksia Road.
