We are making road safety improvements on Highlander Street, Torquay. The works follow on from a traffic study undertaken in 2021 in north Torquay recommending infrastructure changes are needed to safely accommodate future traffic in the area and support resident amenity.
We are installing flat top speed humps to slow traffic travelling along Highlander Street. The change is being made based on a number of factors:
- Traffic on sections
of Highlander Street has increased over 75% in the last 18 months. We
expect traffic volumes to continue to increase now the intersection at
Surf Coast Highway and Rosser Boulevard is open.
- The changes
will encourage safe speeds and safe driving behaviour along Highlander
Street as traffic patterns change and evolve.
- There has been an increase in the number of permanent residents in north Torquay and an increase of these residents using Highlander Street instead of other roads.
We are still finalising the program of works but once this is completed we will communciate the timeline and any impacts during construction.
This survey has now closed.
