Intersection gets attention Pedestrians, cyclists and motorists alike will be pleased to learn that the intersection of Howe and Morehead Streets will soon receive improvements designed to make it safer for all these modes of travel. Newcastle City Council is installing kerb extensions at the pedestrian crossing on Howe Street as well as a pedestrian refuge island in Morehead Street to assist people crossing these roads. This will shorten the distance that pedestrians are on the actual roadway. Extension of the kerb at the corner of Lambton Park will remove the dedicated left turn lane and provide only one southbound lane on Morehead Street for through and left-turning traffic. The traffic island in Morehead Street outside Lambton Park will be removed and the left turn from Morehead Street into Howe Street

The intersection of Morehead St with Howe St is well known to local residents and motorists for its regular motor vehicle accidents and pedestrian near misses. The federally funded Black Spot Programme improvements will be welcomed will be realigned to improve the format of the intersection and allow Stop signs and lines to be better positioned. These improvements aim to reduce cross traffic crashes and reduce the

distance for pedestrians crossing the roads. These works, estimated to cost $147,000, have been fully funded by the Federal Government’s Black Spot Programme.
