A dedicated lane controlled by traffic lights will be installed on Footscray Road into Dock Link Road to make the road safer for cyclists.
As part of the Victoria’s Big Build, a dedicated lane on Footscray Road for vehicles turning left into Dock Link Road that is controlled by traffic lights.
This means cyclists will have a dedicated green light crossing at this location.
The changes come following a cyclist fatality in February. Changes had been made to the road during construction, but further reviews were conducted to determine further safety improvements that could be considered.
“We have worked with the Department of Transport and Planning to implement this change and address feedback provided by bicycle user groups,” the Victoria Big Build website said.
“This new set up means that vehicles and cyclists won’t have a green light at the same time.”
