Johnson Road and Forestdale Drive intersection upgrade

Latest update - July 2026

Construction on this project is now complete.

Project overview

We have completed an intersection upgrade at Johnston Road and Forestdale Drive in Forestdale, with support from the Australian Government's Black Spot Program.

This project will help deliver a safer intersection by reducing the risk of potential crashes, by controlling the right turn from Johnson Road into Forestdale 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.  

Project features

The upgrade includes:

• improved traffic signal timings to formalise when vehicles can go, stop and turn
• extending the right turn lane on Johnson Road into Forestdale Drive
• upgraded road line markings to enhance the visibility of the lanes.

Project benefits

The Johnson Road and Forestdale Drive intersection upgrade delivers a range of benefits, including:

• improved sightlines, traffic flow and less congestion
• quicker and more reliable travel times
• a safer environment for vehicles, as traffic increases.
