Redcrest Ave Crossing

About the project

Redcrest Avenue - New Pedestrian Crossing

We are planning to relocate and upgrade the existing pedestrian crossing on Redcrest Avenue, moving it from its current position on the right side of the Redhill Primary School entrance to a new location on the left side of the entrance.

The school has raised concerns about vehicle speeds near the bends, the limited coverage of the current stay-put signs, and recurring flooding issues at the crossing. The proposed changes aim to address these issues and create a safer environment for everyone travelling through the area.

What we’re planning to do before June 2026

Relocate the existing school-patrolled zebra crossing further west on Redcrest Avenue to a safer location.

Install a school crossing patrol system for operation at peak times before and after school

Install side islands at the crossing to narrow down lane widths and slow down drivers approaching the crossing

Install tactile pavers (yellow guidance markers) at the crossing to assist vision-impaired pedestrians

Install new no parking lines at the new crossing (also known as broken yellow lines) to keep parked vehicles away from the crossing to maintain sufficient visibility between crossing pedestrians and approaching drivers

Remove some existing no parking lines at the removed crossing to create parking. The installation and removal of no parking lines as part of this improvement will not change the overall available on-street parking

Relocate the existing westbound bus stop slightly further west accordingly to accommodate the new crossing

Install new edgeline on Redcrest Avenue to help with speed calming and mitigate loss-of-control crashes.

How this upgrade will benefit the community

Provide a safe crossing for school children and the wider community.

Help slow down drivers and improve visibility of people crossing the road
