Delivering Safer Roads For Werriwa

Funding under the Australian Government’s Black Spot Program will substantially improve 66 dangerous crash sites on New South Wales roads in 2023-2024, including 5 projects in Werriwa.

These projects are included in the $31.9 million of funding for New South Wales under the Black Spot Program’s 2023-2024 funding round.

The Black Spot Program funds safety measures such as traffic signals and roundabouts at locations where a number of serious crashes are known to have occurred or are at risk of occurring.

These Black Spot projects will make an important contribution towards reducing serious injuries and deaths on New South Wales roads and build on previous investments in the state.

These projects include:

• Improving deflection angle of the existing roundabout at South Liverpool Road and St Johns Road, Busby.
• Installing slow points, raised thresholds, and/or horizontal deviations at midblock locations, intersections, and/or pedestrian crossings at North Liverpool Road and Wilson Road, Green Valley.
• Installing slow points, raised thresholds, and/or horizontal deviations at midblock locations, intersections, and/or pedestrian crossings at North Liverpool Road and Wilson Road, Green Valley.
• Installing guideposts with reflectors, retro reflective pavement markers on centre or edge lines and seal the road shoulder at Denham Court Road from Campbelltown Road to Fox Valley Road, Denham Court.
• Installing slow points, raised thresholds, and/or horizontal deviations at midblock locations, intersections, and/or pedestrian crossings at South Liverpool Road and Whitford Road, Green Valley.
• And installing slow points, raised thresholds, and/or horizontal deviations at mid-block locations, intersections, and/or pedestrian crossings at Reilly Street and Webster Road, Lurnea.
