Stafford Road, Northcote Point – Raised Zebra Crossing Stafford Road, Northcote Point – Raised Zebra Crossing

Proposal status: Closed

2025 update

In 2022, we proposed improving pedestrian safety on Stafford Road in Northcote by installing a new raised zebra crossing.

We asked the community for feedback. After careful thought about the feedback and government policy, we updated the proposal.

Updated proposal

Instead of the raised speed table, we will install a zebra crossing with a refuge island.

We will paint new road markings on Stafford Road and Denby Lane and install new signs to support these changes. To do this, we will remove 16 parking spaces.

We will also:

  • make some improvements at the corner of Denby Lane to make it easier for pedestrians and motorists to see each other
  • extend the footpath on the northern side of Stafford Road to provide access to Stafford Park
  • install tactile pavers (yellow guidance markers) on the sides of the road to help visually impaired people find their way
  • move the existing bus stop (stop number 4007) on the southern kerb to 33 Stafford Road.

With these changes, we aim to make it safer for people to the road.

We plan to start building in February 2025.
