The latest

22/09/2023 - The crossing has been returned to a Childrens Crossing to allow for adjusted lighting conditions. Approach lighting will be switched off today or early next week as a temporary measure before the bulbs are removed. The bulbs will be removed due to potential confusion over non-operational assets.

About the works

15/06/23 – Lighting works were completed on the 30 May 2023. Measures limiting light spill from the recent lighting works are being considered based on community feedback.

11/04/2023 - Construction of the raised threshold has been complete. Adjustments to the lighting in the area will be carried out by ARA Electrical on 30 May 2023.

The existing children's crossing is located directly opposite the Berry Public School and is a well-utilised crossing point during peak morning and afternoon school hours. Victoria Street also serves as a highly trafficked thoroughfare, both during and outside of school peak hours.

The proposed raised pedestrian (zebra) crossing will:

• provide pedestrians with the right of way at all times
• reinforce safer speeds and driver behaviour due to the crossing's raised component
• require signage and line-marking changes.
