SIGNALISED PEDESTRIAN CROSSING SWITCHED ON

The signalised pedestrian crossing on River Street near the Westower Tavern in West Ballina is now fully installed.

The lights were activated in July, providing a safer crossing for pedestrians and cyclists. The crossing operates in a ‘staggered’ manner, requiring pedestrians to cross in two stages to minimise traffic disruptions.

Transport for NSW has granted approval for the lights and will handle their ongoing operation.

The project also involved widening the bus bay at the existing bus stop, constructing a new shared path, updating line markings and signage, and conducting minor landscaping.
