Clark Road and Three Mile Bush Road safety improvements

A petition was submitted to us by local residents and business owners advocating for increasing safety measures and reducing the number of speeding vehicles on Clark Road and Three Mile Bush Road.

Their main concern was the speed of vehicles around Kamo Primary School, which is situated at the intersection of these two roads.

There are two additional schools, a sports ground and the main Kamo shopping centre, within 1km of Clark Road, so there are a significant number of pedestrians, cyclists and motorists who use these roads.

These traffic-calming works have received 100 per cent government funding through the Transport Choices programme, which is designed to create walkable neighbourhoods, and support safe, green and healthy school travel.

What we are doing in the area?

• installing new raised platforms
• undertaking improvements to the existing zebra crossings in line with new standards and guidelines
• improving some areas of footpath
• improving drainage
• installing new signage
• undertaking some minor lighting improvements 
• upgrading school patrol signs.

What to expect

Starting from Monday 8 January 2024, we will begin works on Three Mile Bush Road to complete the zebra crossing outside Kamo Primary School (weather permitting) by the end of the summer school holidays.

The second zebra crossing on Clark Road is scheduled for completion during the July school holidays to mitigate disruptions to school traffic.

The remaining works will be completed by December.

During the construction period, brief detours will be in place for minor closures. There will also be several areas where parking will be restricted to allow two-way traffic flow.

Clear signage will be posted to indicate these restrictions, and traffic control personnel will be on-site during work hours (7:00am to 6:00pm, Monday to Saturday).
