This upgrade will increase the safety of one of the town’s busiest intersections by installing traffic lights to better facilitate traffic movement.
Background
The upgrade of the Wyndham/ MacIntosh Street intersection was identified as part of the future growth of Greater Shepparton. The intersection of Wyndham/ Fitzjohn/Hassett/MacInstosh Street will be upgraded to a signalised intersection to reduce congestion and improve road and pedestrian safety, particularly during peak demand periods.
The turning lane from MacIntosh Street heading north into Wyndham Street will be improved by upgrading the intersection to a signalised intersection. The new signalised intersection will allow for better traffic flow and safer traffic movements. There will be improved and safer pedestrian access options to the lake precinct area from MacIntosh Street.
