Sandgate Sub-Arterial Road (Sandgate Road) and Northgate Road, upgrade intersection

In 2018, the department completed a planning study on Sandgate Road that investigated options to improve safety and through movements at key intersections. The study recommended improvements to the Northgate Road and Cameron Street intersections.

The project's safety improvements included installing new traffic signals, which will control all the movements at the intersections, and remove the need for motorists to judge a gap in traffic and cross multiple traffic lanes.

These safety improvement works were part of the Safer Roads Sooner program, an initiative to build safer roads throughout Queensland.
