and decided to trial a new treatment
to accentuate the wombat crossing
and attract motorists’ attention.
Earlier this year, in-pavement flashing
LED lights were installed in the road
pavement immediately in advance of
the crossing. These LEDs are solar
powered with back-up batteries and
operate during certain times of the
day and week to coincide with peak
pedestrian activity times on Victoria
Crescent.
Once the LEDs were installed at
this crossing, Council has generally
received positive feedback both
from pedestrians using the facility
and the community. It is observed
that compliance rate has certainly
increased as witnessed by the road
users.
