We are committed to improving road safety across Logan. The upgrade will help deliver a safer intersection by reducing the risk of potential crashes, by controlling the right turn from Johnson Road into Foresetdale Drive.
The Black Spot Program was introduced as part of the Australian Government's commitment to reduce the risk of crashes. The program targets locations where crashes have occurred or are at risk of happening.
Investigation work
Over the next 6 months you may see our survey team in the area undertaking site investigations in Council’s road reserve.
Traffic management will be in place to help keep our crews and road users safe. This may lead to some local queuing, and we thank you for your patience.

How are Black Spot locations identified?
Nominations for Black Spot locations are made by state and territory governments, councils, community groups and associations, road user groups, industry, and residents.
The Department of Transport and Main Roads (DTMR) Black Spot Consultative Panel considers nominations yearly. When a nomination is received, the DTMR panel will examine the nominated site’s eligibility and may undertake several other assessments.
How do I nominate a site for the Black Spot Program?
Residents can nominate a local road for the Black Spot Program by visiting how to nominate for the Black Spot Program and completing the nomination form.
