SH73 Yaldhurst Road

We’re making some improvements at the Racecourse Road intersection with SH73 Yaldhurst Road. 

We’ll be:

• extending the yellow no stopping lines along Racecourse Road, by about 22 metres, to allow more queueing space for vehicles turning left into Yaldhurst Road.
• extending the median island on Racecourse Road to stop cars from turning right into the carpark at the Yaldhurst Road shops making it safer for people using the carpark area.
• building new kerb buildouts at the crossing points across Yaldhurst Road to make it safer to cross the road by increasing visibility for both people crossing and drivers. The existing crossing point on the northern side of the road will be moved away from a driveway and the pedestrian refuge will be upgraded.
• in addition to extending the yellow no stopping lines along Racecourse Road, we’ll be installing yellow no stopping lines in several other places which will make our improvements more effective such as improving visibility for both drivers and people crossing at the new kerb buildouts.

We’ll also repaint some existing yellow no stopping lines.

The work is scheduled from 10 June to 24 June 2024 (7am to 5pm).

Racecourse Road and the intersection of SH73 Yaldhurst Road will be closed during this time and detour routes will be clearly signed. The closure will not be in place during weekends. Yaldhurst Road will be unaffected.

The work may be delayed due to weather and/or other unforeseen factors.

We decided to reduce the scope of the original design to ensure it aligns with the Government’s transport policy.
