• Widened road shoulders in some locations to increase width of lanes and provide larger roadside clearances.
• Audio tactile line marking on the centre line and edge lines through high-speed sections.
• Improved visibility and safety of the roadside environment by clearing vegetation and removing hazards.
• Installed advanced intersection warning signs and street lighting at key intersections.
• Installed left and right turn lanes on Toowoomba-Cecil Plains Road and realigned Jondaryan-Mount Tyson Road intersection so the 2 T-junctions are not directly opposite each other.
