The Albanese Government has committed almost 7-million dollars to address road safety at 17 locations under the ACT’s 2026-27 Black Spot Program funding round.

The Black Spot Program funds safety measures like traffic lights, safety barriers, roundabouts and pedestrian crossings at locations where several serious crashes have occurred or are at risk of occurring.

Projects funded in this round include over 1-million dollars to install mast arms and widen the road at the intersection of Hindmarsh Drive and Yamba Drive in Garran and 120-thousand dollars to improve the intersection of Manning Clarke Crescent, Anthony Rolfe Avenue and Eva West Street in Gungahlin.

The funding also includes just over 225-thousand dollars for line marking and signage, speed limit reduction to 50 kays and the installation of speed humps on Cowper Street in Dickson and Ainslie.

The projects were recommended by the ACT Black Spot Consultative Panel, comprised of local stakeholders.
