Project details

Start date

2026

End date

2027

Location

Onslow Avenue and The Drive, Epsom

Transport involved

Walking, driving and cycling

Overview

Here’s what we’re planning to do:

  • install a new mountable roundabout to help slow traffic and support safer crossing and turning movements at the intersection
  • install four pedestrian refuge crossings at the roundabout on all legs of the intersection
  • reconstruct footpaths, realign kerbs and berms, and update road markings and signs to support the new layout
  • install new broken yellow lines (NSAAT) to keep parked vehicles clear of the crossings and improve visibility for pedestrians and drivers.

As a result, 5 on-street parking spaces will be removed on Onslow Avenue, and 9 on-street parking spaces on The Drive.

On Onslow Avenue:

  • remove 1 parking space outside 52 Onslow Avenue on Onslow Avenue west approach
  • remove 2 parking spaces outside 94 The Drive on Onslow Avenue east approach
  • remove 2 parking spaces outside 99 The Drive on Onslow Avenue west approach.

On The Drive:

  • remove 3 parking spaces outside 92 The Drive on The Drive north approach
  • remove 1 parking space outside 99 The Drive on The Drive north approach
  • remove 4 parking spaces outside 52 Onslow Avenue on The Drive south approach
  • remove 1 parking space outside 94 The Drive on The Drive south approach.

You can see where these changes will be made on the attached plan.

Project benefits

Better traffic flow

The new roundabout layout will balance the traffic flow for all 4 legs of this intersection and reduce the delays on Onslow Avenue.

Safer turning movements

The roundabout layout will help manage turning movements and lower the crash risk at this high-risk intersection.

Clearer road layout

Upgrades to the road, signs and road markings will make the intersection layout clearer and easier to understand.

Safer crossings

The upgraded pedestrian crossings will make it safer and easier for people to cross at the intersection.

Project background

We’re planning safety improvements at the intersection of Onslow Avenue and The Drive in Epsom to make it safer and easier to use for everyone, whether you’re walking, cycling, or driving.

The proposed roundabout will help slow vehicles and make it clearer and safer for people to move through the intersection.

Between 2021 and 2025, 9 crashes were recorded at this intersection. Most involved vehicles crossing or turning, and 2 involved pedestrians.

These safety improvements are proposed to reduce the risk of crashes and make the area safer, more comfortable, and better connected for people who live, work, study, or travel through the area.
