Safety improvements will be delivered at 16 identified Black Spot sites on NT roads, with the Australian Government committing funding under the Black Spot Program to fund the crucial upgrades.
This latest round of funding will deliver:
- pedestrian safety improvements
- safer intersections in Wagait Beach with new solar lighting, line marking and traffic calming measures, and
- the clearing of vegetation that obstructs sight lines for motorists.
The projects were endorsed by the NT Black Spot Consultative Panel, which ensures that nominations of the highest priority are put forward for approval.
The Australian Government has substantially increased Black Spot Program funding, with the Roads to Recovery funding also increasing.
These changes will also help ensure funding is stable, predictable and fair into the future.
