What’s happening
We have been seeking feedback on a proposal to install traffic signals at the intersection of Great Eastern Highway and Ferguson Street, in Midland.
These signals would allow safe right turns from Ferguson Street into Great Eastern Highway, especially for heavy vehicles, while planning continues for a future upgrade of Great Eastern Highway.
To support this interim safety improvement, the intersection would need to be modified to allow only straight through or left-turn movements on Great Eastern Highway. Allowing right-turns would cause further congestion and increase the likelihood of rear-end and right-turn crashes.
