Over 1500 students will benefit from the newly installed Bradman Drive pedestrian crossing as part of the Hall Road Upgrade.
Community feedback has brought the new Bradman Drive pedestrian crossing from idea to reality in only 12 months. We added the new pedestrian crossing to the Hall Road Upgrade following a community suggestion from Barton Primary School council president Amy Bland. Works to build the Bradman Drive Pedestrian crossing were fast tracked and delivered ahead of the school year returning in January 2023.
The crossing will greatly improve safety for pedestrians in the area with approximately 1500 students based at the nearby Cranbourne West Secondary College and Barton Primary School, as well as several day care centres located near the crossing.
Residents will also benefit from the crossing with plenty of shops, parks, skateparks, leash-free dog areas and reserves located just off Bradman Drive.
The Hall Road Upgrade is increasing the number of traffic lanes on Hall Road to 2 lanes in each direction between McCormicks Road and Western Port Highway, while also upgrading intersections at McCormicks Road, Taylors Road, Western Port Highway, Evans Road and Cranbourne-Frankston Road to improve traffic flow and ease congestion.
A new shared walking and cycling path will be constructed along sections of Hall Road. Centre median and kerb side safety barriers will be installed to reduce the risk of rear and head on collisions. Widening and upgrading key intersections along Hall Road will improve travel times and make it safer for the community.
