Council looked at a range of options including traffic signals. Given the design of the current intersection and available road space, a roundabout was the safest and most efficient solution.

If travelling north along Exford Road (towards Melton), you will not be able to turn right into Morshead Street.

If travelling in this direction, to access Morshead Street, you will need to do a U-turn at the new roundabout and then turn left into Morshead Street (travelling south down Exford Road).

Right turn into Morshead Road cannot be safely accommodated due to the new roundabout located at the Exford Road and Wilson Street intersection, limited space, impact to traffic flow and proximity of Morshead Road to intersection of Exford Road/Wilson Road.

Right turns into Exford Road from Morshead Road cannot be safely accommodated due to limited space, proximity of Morshead Road to the intersection of Exford Road/Wilson Road and impacts on traffic flow.

The design significantly reduces queuing of vehicles turning into and out of Northcott Street, Morehead Road, and Wilson Road.

This proposal is expected to improve the flow and management of traffic and enhance road and pedestrian safety for local residents and families attending the surrounding schools and community facilities.

A pedestrian signal and range of pedestrian improvements have been included to support active travel. These include raised pedestrian facilities to support nearby schools, a new pedestrian signal south of Wilsons Road. The roundabouts raised safety platforms will promote slower speeds in the vicinity while keeping traffic moving during peak times.

Speed limit along Exford Road between Bridge Road and Brooklyn Road is proposed to be 50km/h.
