In May 2021, we engaged with the communities in Bulls and Sanson about the infrastructure improvements.
In our community engagement an overbridge was suggested by some people however the cost of constructing and maintaining an overbridge would outweigh the safety benefit from it in this location.
We also heard during community engagement that it would be ideal to have the shared use path constructed from Sanson all the way to Bulls.
Speed management
When we spoke with communities in the area about the proposed infrastructure improvements, we also engaged on the current state highway speed limits.
Between 14 November – 12 December 2022 we consulted on proposed changes to speed limits near some schools on SH1/SH3 in the area, as part of an Interim State Highway Speed Management Plan.
In March 2024, the Minister of Transport confirmed that a new Land Transport Rule for setting speed limits will be released for public consultation in the coming months and signed by the end of the year.
