Keona Road in McDowall

Splitter island with pedestrian slot and associated ‘No Stopping conditions’ to improve pedestrian connectivity, safety and visibility for all road users.

NOTE: ‘No Stopping conditions’ refers to yellow line markings or signs

• Kerb ramp realignment and associated ‘No Stopping conditions’ at intersections to improve pedestrian connectivity along the road and visibility for all road users.
• Installation of Give Way signs and line markings to improve driving paths and visibility for all road users.

NOTE: ‘No Stopping conditions’ refers to yellow line markings or signs

• Removal of left turn lane and upgrading the pedestrian crossing connectivity with associated ‘No Stopping conditions’ to improve visibility and safety for all road users.

NOTE: ‘No Stopping conditions’ refers to yellow line markings or signs

• Installation of ‘No Stopping conditions’ along Keona Road in locations where the road narrows, to improve visibility and safety for all road users.

To assist with planning, please indicate on the interactive map the exact location of where you would prefer ‘No Stopping conditions’.

NOTE 1: ‘No Stopping conditions’ refers to yellow line markings or signs

NOTE 2: Road widening with associated kerb and channel can be considered. However, it is important that it is considered alongside adjacent property redevelopment. This will ensure the extent of any road widening can take into account the nature of future property development and address any associated traffic and parking requirements.

• A review of line marking along the road to ensure they are fit-for-purpose.

NOTE: Due to the limited road width along the corridor, street parking may need to be removed to provide lane line markings.

• The construction of missing footpath links.

To assist with planning, please indicate on the interactive map the exact location of where you would prefer footpaths.

NOTE: Footpath construction may need to be considered alongside adjacent property redevelopment. This will ensure this takes into account the nature of future property development and ultimate footpath alignments.

• The installation of SAM signs on Keona Road to improve motorist awareness of the speed limit on Keona Road. More information about SAM signs is available on Council’s website www.brisbane.qld.gov.au by searching for ‘Speed Awareness Monitors’.

To assist with planning, please indicate on the interactive map the exact location of where you would prefer a SAM sign.

NOTE: SAM signs are not a permanent fixture and are rotated between various locations in the McDowall Ward. SAM signs are not suitable for all locations within our road network. If a location is supported, Council undertakes a site assessment to determine if the location is suitable for a speed awareness monitor.

• The highly visible LED road signs are designed to alert drivers of an upcoming intersection or traffic hazard, and to reduce their speed if they are travelling above the speed threshold that is pre-determined for that location.
• The signs are vehicle activated signs meaning they are triggered by an approaching vehicle. The LEDs on the signs are inactive (unlit) by default and as a vehicle approaches, the speed is detected by the sign’s radar.
• The speed threshold at which the sign is activated is not the speed limit for that location, rather, one that is pre-determined as a safe speed to approach the upcoming intersection or traffic hazard.
• More information about LED road signs is available on Council’s website www.brisbane.qld.gov.au by searching for ‘LED road signs’.

• The construction of devices such as speed platforms, traffic islands and kerb buildouts along Keona Road to:

• Provide a safe environment for pedestrians and cyclists.
• Discourage non-local traffic, commonly known as ‘rat running’ in neighbourhood streets.
• Moderate vehicle speeds.
