More Traffic Lights Needed More Pedestrian Access/Walkway Improvements In Mount Druitt!

After receiving the 'Green Light' for a pedestrian access/walkway in Luxford Road, North Mount Druitt the long haul to get to this stage, needs to be shortened for other possible improvements (  Click here for previous blogs).

We are talking about more traffic lights within Mount Druitt that need that extra improvements for pedestrian access/walkway. This is the moment to seize and take the opportunity for to search, find and discover more traffic light improvements.

Although, we don't have many traffic lights in Mount Druitt, from the few we do, two of them I have discovered needing such improvement. It is better to get these corrected to accommodate the current new laws in relation to construction of traffic lights. This will override the old laws that only allow a minimum 2 pedestrian access/walkways to be constructed, where 3 or more should be included.

Here are the 2 traffic light intersections that need extra pedestrian access/ walkway:
  1. Corner of Luxford Road and Mount Streets, Mount Druitt
  2. Corner of Luxford Road and Popondetta Road, Whalan/Emerton
Both are strategically important to the community, in providing proper traffic light infrastructure with all pedestrian access/walkways and/or crossings, to our Mount Druitt area.

The first one is substantiated by the Council approved multi-storey  residential complex at the the old "Sam's Warehouse" spot, which will add pedestrian traffic at this intersection as well as the new block being built opposite Mount Druitt Swimming Pool Also community members walking from North Mount Druitt and Rooty Hill using this access route through to the main hub of Mount Druitt; Shops Smart, swimming pool, library, market town, bus interchange and train station Click here for previous blog
