Inverell Shire Council is one of 20 Local government areas to receive funding under the joint Federal and NSW government’s Road Safety Program.
$19.7 million will be spent to focus on notorious crossings, intersections and key thoroughfares to reduce the frequency and severity of serious and fatal crashes, helping protect local families and road users.
The projects will deliver critical safety upgrades including wombat crossings, refuges, kerb ramps and shared paths for pedestrians and cyclists as well as improved roundabouts, lighting, fencing, safety barriers and bus bays to ensure better access to public transport.
Inverell Shire Council received $54,000 for Road safety intersection improvements including installation of pedestrian refuges on Evans Street, at Wood Street.
