Scarborough Beach Road and Green Street Roundabout

The current two-stage road crossing will be replaced with a dual-lane roundabout. A new shared path has also been included in the design, improving connectivity for the high number of riders and walkers who are travelling to and from the Glendalough train station and local business hubs.

For safety reasons, the existing one-way access into Birrell Street must be closed to accommodate the new roundabout. Birrell Street will be converted to a cul-de-sac at its junction with Scarborough Beach Road.

Between 2019 and 2023, there were 66 reported crashes at this location.

Most of these crashes occurred during right-turns (more than 80 per cent) or as a result of rear-end collisions. Just under a quarter of these crashes resulted in someone requiring hospitalisation or medical treatment, while more than three-quarters resulted in property damage.

In developing solutions for the intersection, a number of options were assessed by a panel of expert road designers, ultimately resulting in the roundabout design to best address the safety issues at this busy intersection.
